Ed Schenkein: Forget Work Life Balance, Bake Your Own Pie | LEADERSHIP Development Day 2021

Ed Schenkein, the CPA some clients call the Zen CPA, makes the case that work life balance is the wrong picture. A teeter totter is never balanced, so he uses a pie instead, with a slice for every role you carry, from physical and spiritual health to husband, father, partner, leader and advisor. He walks through how to audit a 50 hour week, strip out the 20 hours you do not want or should not be doing, and put more of that time into your strengths, using the story of a young rabbi who did exactly that. He closes on smart growth that does not cost you more of your time, and on why leading from the heart, not from validation or a bank balance, is where fulfillment actually lives. In the closing Q and A with Greg Aden, he shares what he tells young leaders and recent grads about being their authentic selves.
