Earning vs. Living
with
Richard Bolles and Warren Farrell
The Crossings, Austin, TX
June 13-15, 2008
Richard Bolles ( What Color is Your Parachute) and Warren Farrell ( Why Men Earn More) partner in a participatory workshop that will help you gain:
Practical tools for finding your deepest vision; for updating your vision as unexpected changes impact your life, and as your family changes and your personal wisdom evolves; for finding your optimal balance between work and non-work endeavors.
An understanding of the twenty-five different work-life choices made by women and men. These lead to men earning more, and women having more fulfilling lives. What can the sexes learn from each other to know what trade-offs work best?
The workshop will address questions such as:
What new fields, and non-traditional careers and lifestyles are emerging in the decade ahead? What transitions are likely to occur in established fields? How do you co-ordinate your evolution (including your health) with their evolution?
What skills—and mindset—do you need to create a job rather than just finding one?
What is the difference between becoming our best self and drawing out the best in those around us?
How does each individual determine the balance among work, love, family and spirituality that creates success for her or him?
What are the ripple effects most likely to emanate from each life choice? For example, the choice of our spouse; a career in the arts vs. sciences; having no children vs. adopting children, or becoming a step-parent?
How do these ripple effects change during each stage of our life?
Why are the qualities it takes to succeed at work often in direct conflict with the qualities it takes to succeed in love? How can we overcome this?
