Going Deep on Work-Life Balance:Secrets of a Balanced Life (Workshop/Keynote)
Speaker: John Fast

"Canadian workers have reached the end of their ropes. There is a lot of frustration out there and it doesn¹t seem that anyone is listening" noted the latest report by the federal government investigating the conflicting demands of work and family.

Finding the right balance in our work and in our lives defies simplistic solutions. This keynote address thoughtfully explores the underlying factors contributing to that unhealthy imbalance. It does so by first listening and sharing the stories of imbalanced lives; lives of heartache and quiet misery. But these stories are also contrasted with stories of hope, and courage, and ultimately ­ balance. How do these stories differ? They suggest that the secret to a balanced life lie in going deeper and following these road maps:

• Accepting the paradox of success vs. succumbing to the fear of failure
• Understanding and calibrating our need for security
• Meeting our life-stage challenges appropriately
• Managing the Bermuda triangle of love, money, and power

This hopeful and inspirational message concludes by challenging the audience
to:

1. Know where DEEP is for you.

2. Go DEEP!

3. Go DEEP often!
