14: Deb Crowe – Finding the ideal work/life balance

"Work Life Balance is not a trend, it's a lifestyle" - Deborah Crowe As the CEO of a successful medical case management practice for 23 years, I recognized the growing need for further supports for professionals and families dealing with catastrophic illnesses and the need for stress management. Leading with this new vision, I have evolved into a Work Life Balance Specialist and I've created a model for revitalization, stress management and leadership success. I provide coaching to women, men and couples and I absolutely enjoy working with companies (small to large) to assist with their EAP programs and work with their HR department to reduce and eliminate short-term disability claims and get balance back to employees and be the mediator between the employer and employee. My ultimate goal is to get ahead of the curve and educate employers about the importance of work life balance so that employees do not become so stressed, receive a medical diagnosis and go off work on short-term disability. I also profile a “Mom of the Month” on our website (link below) with the goal of sharing, educating and showing women that we all come from different walks of life. The goal is to choose a woman from a different social economic and psycho-social perspective so that other women can relate as we all teach and help each other.
