Balance:  Obtain a win-win when faced with competing needs whether they are at work (your group’s needs versus another group’s needs), or home (my personal values and beliefs versus my company's values and beliefs).  Look at the situation holistically. 

• Tools:   Learn tools and models to help you know when you are out of balance, achieve a balanced perspective, and be open to other perspectives.
• Analysis: What is the problem you are facing? What is within your control that you can truly influence? How do problems you face map to the highest goals set out by yourself and your company?  
• Prioritization exercise: What will you absolutely not give in on? What would happen if you did? 
• Lifestyle assessment: A balanced life is more than just work.  How do you ensure that you live a rich, full life that honors your time away from work?
