We're all doing our best to figure out how to think about and talk about work+life in a way that reflects today's reality. Each time we try, we get a little bit closer. I look forward to continuing the conversation. Best, Cali Thank you, Susan! We’re all doing our best to figure out how to think about and talk about work+life in a way that reflects today’s reality.

I especially appreciate what you said about looking beyond just moms and women. I work with people in career and life transitions, many of whom are men. They, too, have their share of juggling, and more of the men I advise are asking for increased time to be with their children. They don't want to miss out as their kids grow. Another balance issue that's been overlooked here is the issue of eldercare. Many workers need time to help their aging parents. Jack Welch chose to be CEO. That also means he chose not to do certain things with his time. It's vital for each of us to know what truly matters to us, and to invest our precious life energy doing those things. Many of them, like raising children, are priceless. Thank you, Cali, for demonstrating balance in your comments! Susan Great retort to Jack Welch’s comments, Cali.
