Regardless of what’s happening in the world, the holiday season creates even more demands on our time and every aspect of our lives. Year-end meetings, deadlines, and travel often compete with personal priorities and get-togethers. What’s a professional juggler’s perspective on juggling conflicting priorities to create more work-life balance?
In this “Holiday Classic” episode from our archives, we share a timely conversation with guest Jen Slaw. Jen is a former structural engineer and world record-holding expert juggler. She won the International Jugglers’ Association’s Award for creativity, and has been called an “expert juggler” by The New York Times. During our conversation, Jen shares her approach to maintaining flexibility and adjusting to the changing demands of our work and personal lives. Not only does she describe her “B.A.L.L” formula for increasing work-life balance in any season; you can actually hear her juggling during our conversation!
Jen is a speaker, educator and host who utilizes lessons learned from over 20 years as a juggler, structural engineer, and artist, to inspire individuals and organizations to find balance and become more effective “jugglers” in their own lives and work.
Her joyful presentations provide strategies and tools for creative thinking, achievement, work-life balance, change management, and effective collaboration. She aims to inspire others to identify and develop their own passions, and redefine what’s possible. Her clients include American Express, Genentech, Deloitte, Starwood and many more.
She’s also appeared on ABC News, Huffington Post Live, The Food Network, The Today Show, and on Off Broadway and TEDx Stages. She’s also the executive director of Juggling Life Incorporated.
