Reviews
"It took me many years, more than one field and several different companies to find the right fit. First, I had to determine what work- life balance looked like for ME. This course would have been very helpful when I was younger!"

"I really learned more information about the benefits of work- life balance, and how rarely we as Americans do what we need to do to achieve it. I do not have a lot of formal training about networking, and I found this to be very helpful"
