MDRT and the MDRT Academy always have promoted the Whole Person concept: the idea that true success only comes when all parts of your life are in alignment. Let’s focus on you and learn ways to find balance in your work and life so you can achieve more in both.
Uncover the strategy behind balance
Work-life balance can feel out of reach, but practical strategies do exist to achieve it. Discovering which strategies are right for you takes effort and consideration. Explore three Balanced Living resources in the Learn section, note what resonates and come ready to share one key insight.
Self-reflect for peak performance
A key discipline in the pursuit of balanced living is self-reflection. You continually want to review your performance, feelings and opportunities to improve. Take some time to reflect on different areas of your life, such as your career, health, relationships, education, finances, service and spirituality. Note what feels out of balance.
Each week you will also receive a Weekly Growth Plan within the Academy, personalized to you. Your Growth Plan, as well as the Connect section of the Academy, where you can network with other Academy members, are good things to engage with regularly.
