About the Show:

Who Said You Can’t Have it All? Educated and ambitious women today are clear about what they want… Yes, you can say it loudly and not feel guilty or isolated… I WANT BOTH!

Combining career and family is a fact of life for modern women, resulting from their tremendous progress in education and professional development. And, the great news is that you don’t need to be a Superwoman to get the balance right. It’s tough, yes. Rewarding too. But this ultimate juggling act is much easier when you have the right tools. Christine Brown-Quinn, a high powered career woman and mother, shares over two decades of hard-won advice.

Change Thrivers Tips by Christine:

1. Find the right partner  – DISCUSS career ambition and family aspiration – don’t make assumptions
2. Don’t overcomplicate your childcare arrangements and RESPECT your childcare provider – she is one of the linchpins to making it all work!
3. Think like a business owner when trying to make changes to your work schedule to accommodate personal life

3. Determine where your target market congregates online
4. Choose the top 3 to 5 social networking sites your target market frequents  (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, iWomanLife)

A Moment of Inspiration

The newest computer can merely compound, at speed, the oldest problem in the relations between human beings, and in the end the communicator will be confronted with the old problem, of what to say and how to say it.
