In my 35 year career at Panasonic, I moved from a Trainee with a Master's Degree to a Divisional Vice President and then President. This journey was not always upward, and it was certainly not a carefully etched plan. Along the way I learned a lot from great teachers (mostly bosses) about what to do, and what NOT to do. One thing that became clear to me--building a culture that people could excel in was more important than fitting in with the culture I was often surrounded by. How to do that, and maintain a balance between your circle and the larger circle, is something I know a lot about. By 2016 I had received great Coaching twice, both times paid for by my company. I admired the coaches, and more important, saw great value in learning how to both teach and empower at the same time. So I got a my Coaching Certification from International Coaching Federation Class in NYC, and have been practicing since then, along with business consulting. Finally, I value work-life balance, and did even when I was an executive. It isn't easy. But there are ways to think about and Design Your Life to establish the best practices trying to get it in place.
