This is a YouTube video titled "Shifting boundaries between work and life as a CEO." It contains a monologue or talk from April 22, 2024, where the speaker discusses managing work-life boundaries, including making decisions about availability and prioritizing personal values to maintain balance and effectiveness in both business and personal life.
We work with a partner and I got a text and he said, are you available at 8:15? Normally I'm not available. In this case, we had a discussion and she said, you know what, take the call. You guys have been trying to get in touch with each other. So we ended up spending 30 minutes on the call. That is a lot different than me just making that decision, moving that boundary arbitrarily. It's a discussion. I'm involving my closest business and life advisor in that chat. And so that's a boundary that I was able to shift. And the same time, hunting season's right around the corner here in the Adirondacks, there's probably going to be more than one occasion where at 3 o' clock I'm out in the woods and I'm not on my phone, but I may come back at 6:30 and make sure that all the loose ends are tied up. So it's those types of things, of putting those boundaries around what I love, what I value, making time for that, and I do that so I can bring the best of myself to each of those areas in my life.
