Join Brigid Schulte, an award winning author and international speaker as she discusses time, productivity, the causes and consequences of our unsustainable, always-on culture, and how to make time for Work, Love and Play. She is rethinking how we work so that it’s effective and sustainable, and by re-imagining gender roles for a fairer division of labor and opportunity at work and home. Instead of seeking status in busyness she encourages us to capture the value of leisure. If you think you don’t have time to listen, this is precisely why you need to hear this!
