In a cultural climate where women can seemingly have it all, why do so many successful professional women - lawyers, financial managers, teachers, engineers, and others - give up their careers after having children and become stay-at-home mothers? How do they feel about their decision and what do their stories tell us about contemporary society?

What if you could go back to key points in your life and ask different questions of yourself and others to change where you are today? Speaker, author, and entrepreneur Laura Atchison had it all - a great career, a successful business, ambitious goals, and a loving family - when she realized she was off course. Instead of achieving the life she was meant to live, she had been stuck on autopilot - plodding through the life others wanted her to live.

Chelette, a trainer, coach, and speaker imparts her proprietary strategies that can take any woman from being overwhelmed to awesome.

All of this can leave women feeling underappreciated, frustrated, and burned out. We need to end the culture of overwork for women. Overcoming Overwork provides practical advice for taking back your time so that you can use it for what matters to you.

Der feministische Klassiker für ehrgeizige Frauen. Obwohl immer mehr Frauen eine Karriere anstreben und die familiären Aufgaben mit ihren Partnern teilen, sieht es in den höheren Management-Kreisen weiterhin dramatisch aus: in den deutschen Chefetagen sind gerade einmal 3% der Führungskräfte weiblich. Nicht so Sheryl Sandberg: als Geschäftsführerin bei Facebook kann sie auf eine erfolgreiche Karriere zurückblicken, unter anderem bei Google und in der Regierung, während sie neben dem Beruf noch zwei Kinder großzieht.

En el actual modelo económico la visibilidad no es una opción, sino una necesidad. Es la única forma de explicar quién eres y qué ofreces, la única vía de acceso a tus clientes. Porque si no te ven, no te eligen y, por supuesto, no te compran. Neus Arqués ha trabajado con multitud de mujeres a las que ha ayudado a desarrollar su propia marca personal, y ha llegado a la conclusión de que la mayoría ejercen una auténtica resistencia a la visibilidad. ¿Por qué? Por miedo a ser juzgadas o por padecer el "síndrome de la impostora".
