Presented by Mississauga Board of Trade’s
Health and Wellness Forum.
Work/life balance is a reality we all face every single day. Is a balanced life a myth? Or is there more to it? Join us for a day of an interactive reality check to answer “what is my balance?” and “what is a strategic solution that is right for me and for my organization?”
The event’s speakers are physicians and specialists that advocate for those of us struggling. They will shed light on the crippling lie of maintaining a positive balance of life and work and more importantly provide useful answers. Our workshop is designed to uncover personal areas of vulnerability.
Finally, our experts will arm you with practical, constructive ideas and actionable solutions that are surprisingly doable so you can immediately start healing and enjoying life and work.
