She Embraces Change
Target group: Senior women mangers/Executives
Women and the lonely top.
Every person yarns to get to the top in their career. It is often the best way to actualize your dream as many imagine. At the top you get good salary, hefty allowances, many privileges and often a lot of international travels. The flip side of this and what many don’t know is that this often comes with a personal price to pay especially for women;
- You become too busy to attend to your personal issues.
- Your health, personal and social life takes a back seat.
- Your family is neglected.
- You are permanently pre-occupied with work related issues.
- You talk about your work to everybody and everywhere.
The job Encounter for women in senior position.
The battles and stereotypes that a woman goes through right from the job interviews to the job execution are many, always on trial trail to prove yourself and keep the job. You must work extra hard by putting in more hours and effort. What a man must do to excel, a woman must do much more for her to be validated as a performer. In the process of proving yourself-worth you get disconnected from yourself, health, family, friends/relatives and the real life. You have the money, the job title and all other so called work benefits yet you are an unfulfilled person- Your life has a vacuum. You now start “surviving” instead of living.
Often the societal expectations/attitude towards such women is prejudiced. They are negatively monitored, controlled and harshly judged resulting to limited social life and isolation.
Some of the repercussions?
- Perpetually anxious and stressed.
- Often impatient and unexplained mood swings.
- Low self-esteem.
- Illnesses -Chronic conditions/
- Unexplainable weight loss/gain.
- Withdrawal/Depressions/Addictions.
- Unexplained change of social behavior /association.
- Among others.
What is clear here is that at this stage there is no genuine fulfilling happiness in your “real” life.
