WITI Personal Growth
Creating Balance in Your Life
By Kathleen Barton
Do you feel burdened with too many responsibilities and not enough time for personal enjoyment? Is so, then you are not alone.

While talking to a woman who can't quite collect her thoughts you notice a fax coming through that needs immediate attention. You have 50 emails in your inbox that are probably junk mail, but you won't know unless you review them - you can't afford to miss a potential sale. You get a call waiting beep and it's your daughter telling you that her friend Sarah's mom can't drive them to soccer practice and needs you to fill in. The airline fares for your upcoming family vacation increase at midnight, so you've got to order them now, but you still need to get the proposal written for the big account you think you can land.

Upcoming Network Events
"At a recent WITI Boston event, I met a former client from 10 years ago when I worked for another company. We sat together at the meeting and got re-acquainted. Since then, my former client has introduced me to several IT executives at their firm to generate interest in our services, which may lead to new business. This demonstrates that networking and participating in WITI events can have very positive results...both professionally and personally."
