Balancing a demanding leadership role with caring responsibilities – whether for children, elderly parents, a sick relative or others in your community – can feel like running to full-time jobs at once.
Too often these conversations stay behind the curtain, and carers quietly absorbed the emotional, mental and logistical load on top of the exhausting day jobs of an event professional.
So how do you sustain high performance when your capacity is already stretched? What happens when caring responsibilities land unexpectedly rather than as a planned life stage? And how can leaders protect their own energy while still delivering for their teams and organizations?
In this 90-minute Think Tank, we’ll bring together members to share their lived experience with honesty and practicality. Through short, candid sharings from some topic champions, followed by an open, facilitated discussion, we’ll explore boundaries, conversations with managers, calendar management, identity shifts and the emotional realities of guilt and pressure. Expect this to be one of our least formal yet most human sessions, as ELX members focus on how to truly balance leadership and caregiving.
