As the Director of We Do Marketing, and working with 100’s of Directors over the years I hear so often about the challenge of balancing both work and life and the never-ending to-do list, that sense of not feeling accomplished comes up time and time again. There is always more you could do or be doing. I hear you, I am here with you on this never-ending journey and one thing I’m good at is a list, or if I set myself a task/goal I will GET IT DONE.
Getting the right life/work balance.
I’ve learned that getting the right balance in work and life helps both areas. I’m not perfect, I’m certainly not there with this but I am proactive in my approach to it.
This 30 day Directors challenge is designed to help you to feel more accomplished. Not to add another task to your to-do list but to inspire change, make you to think and ‘do’ something proactive for the benefit of both life and business accomplishment.

Let me know how you get on and if you enjoyed it I’d love to hear from you.
I’ll explain why I’m doing this. I act as a Marketing Director for a select few businesses. I sit in on monthly management meetings, boards and help them directly with the marketing strategy for the business. I see so many Directors heading toward burn out and sometimes a better mix of work and life is what is needed. Two things to consider here: If you need a better balance, review and adjust. If you need marketing direction for your business, pop me a message.
