Life Calibration: From Burnout to Balance [THA 348]

[carmcapriotto]

Our panel explores the challenges of achieving work-life balance and how it affects busy professionals and entrepreneurs. The key takeaway was the importance of operating with the mindset of wanting employees' lives to work both inside and outside of the shop. Eddie Lawrence shared his personal story of experiencing a health crisis in 2015, which served as a wake-up call for him. As a business owner, he had been prioritizing his work over his own well-being. This realization led him to create 'Life Calibration,' a framework to help individuals prioritize and improve different areas of their lives, not just for themselves but also for their teams.
