Stop Settling, Settle Smart: Rethinking Work-life Balance, Redesign Your Busy Life

Work-life “balance” is a myth.

Throughout our lives we’ve been sold a bill of goods that we can have it all, by being our all, by doing it all. There are limits to what we may achieve at one time and throughout our lives that require conscious trade-offs.

We are simply not super-human. There are situational and relative life events that change how we live our lives, and therefore, how we navigate. This is why we must settle more and settle less, which is the key to settling smart!

Drawing upon decades of managing, mentoring, coaching and developing thousands of individuals and leadership teams, along with a sense of strong advocacy for helping others, Dana exposes the mismatch in terms of what people want for themselves at work and in their relationships throughout their busy lives. It is time to learn how to close that gap for ourselves as unique and contributing people by design while aligning our core values and desires with workplaces who embrace them.

This rare book shares insights, tools, tips, stories and interviews to go along with a fun and simple 5-minute quiz that reveals to you instantly, where you are and where you want to be consciously and knowingly across the five key life facets:

• Career
• Generations
• Circle
• Society
• Vitality

Stop Settling® is a method, a mindset, and a movement that helps you understand who you are, what’s important to you, and make conscious choices about where you want to spend your time so that you are able to communicate that to others around you not only at work, but in all key life facets.

Remember, It’s not about balance. It is about harmonious integration powered by what it is that you really want. Harmony beats balance every time! It’s all about knowing how to Settle Smart.
