Well written Sal!! Being a mother of 5 ( you are one of them) I can relate to that, even though it was decades ago. But OH the rewards are endless when those little Grandkids put their arms around your neck and say I LOVE YOU NANA
Happy Mothers Day Sal xo

Hello Sal…Spending the week with my two wonderful adult daughters has reminded me of all that I have been and all that I still am to the two of them….and of course vice versa. Enjoy your time with your young family, being an empty nester can sometimes feel harder than being a hands on mom of young-uns…although I’m stil sometimes the cook (dropped-off care packages), the chauffer (this trip anyway), the nurse (everyone wants their mommy when they’re sick, even if it’s just over the phone), counsellor (I don’t think that ever ends) and Teacher of life’s lessons with a Masters in Child Rearing and Home Economics. I can’t fix anything now with a band-aid, a safety pin or a glue gun, just a hug and a kiss and a heartfelt “I wish I could fix it for you”. I am now on the receiving end of “I’m sorry mom for all that I did to you” and it puts a smile on my face and means a lot. Thank you for this article….it is a wonderful reminder to all of us Mom’s what an important job we have… and how meaningful it remains throughout our children’s lives.

Comment on Leverage lessons learned from the sandbox in your work life by Sally

Hi Leah, great article! You shed light on the fact that when women should be supporting each other, no matter which role(s) they play, there have been personal attacks on personal choices in social media, politics and even at simple get-togethers with friends. A “one size” does not fit all. I just posted a blog on this site, “A Mom’s Job Description” because most of us can all relate to the amount of work that goes into raising kids. I enjoyed the read.

You’re right on the money, Sally. This ties in very well with Nuria’s point in her latest post (“The Family: school of leadership skills”) about all the skills and virtues that parents develop looking after their family. Happy Mother’s Day!

Derrick, sounds like the way you are running your company, you are definitely promoting a healthy work-life balance for your employees. And you place value on it, and recognize it benefits the company as well. I think your company should join the IFREI Club Canada.
