Course Overview
This online work-life balance course for managers is a partner course built for frontline leaders who are trying to meet the demands of the role without letting work consume every available hour. It gives learners a practical way to think about balance in a management job, where team needs, deadlines, interruptions, and constant availability can quickly crowd out recovery, focus, and perspective.
This is a partner course offered alongside our instructor-led programs. It provides a self-paced option for managers who want structured guidance on managing work-life balance without waiting for a workshop date.
The course covers the main sources of work-life conflict, common myths about balance, practical strategies for achieving and maintaining balance, personal fulfillment, the added demands of leadership, different ways of viewing life choices, and the development of a Personal Work-Life Balance Plan.
