How To Tell Multitasking Is Good Or Bad For A Woman? Could You Have Been A Better Parent And Still Built Such A Successful Career?

Have you ever asked your parents how much they had sacrificed for the family? What were the opportunities that they had given up? What was the cost?  Are you willing to make the same sacrifice? Why? What did they say?  How about you?

We aren’t the same as our parents were 30 years ago.  And society isn’t the same, either.  We like to find new ways to balance and blend career and family. We are women, good at multitasking, after all.
​
You might hear some people tell you multitasking is shifting tasks that drive us to nowhere. Yes and no. Women are capable of multitasking for various commitments and can work more organized under pressure such as cooking a meal while looking after young children and suddenly having to answer the phone.  Or jump between incoming emails, phone calls, and assignments, while running in and out of meetings. Very often, men can’t understand why a woman can handle so many things simultaneously.

​Are you settling for less than you deserve? How settled are you?  How will you describe yourself? 

• Static as a rock
• A vase rarely moves an inch
• A bird in a cage
• A lamb ties a belt around its neck
• A swallow is flying to a faraway destination stops over for a rest.
• A bird is flying aimlessly to nowhere.........  

Could you have been a better mom and still built such a successful career? It might be difficult or unlikely, and not impossible.
