As a practical way to incorporate more Do-Bo balance (a.k.a. "work-life" balance), I'm suggesting intentionally creating 5 min breaks, 1 hr breaks, starting work later, ending earlier.

The concept of entitlement is negatively charged, and I observe in coaching sessions that women leaders in particular suffer from lack of it. I encourage women leaders who hold back on asking for what they need, to be MORE entitled.

A perfectionist approach is loaded with unrealistic expectations from ourselves and from others. It’s also loaded with assumptions. If your work isn’t perfect, you’re going to disappoint people.
