Tom Krieglstein skipped networking at a conference to spend time with family instead, a shift from his younger self who would have maximized every connection. As you get more successful, the pull between career and personal life gets harder, not easier.
Hey, it is Tom and I am in Minneapolis speaking at an orientation conference that is four days long. But today is the last day and I am speaking at the very last session of the conference. I flew in super late last night and I'm speaking this morning. My younger self in my career would be like, Tom, what are you doing? Why are you not here for all four days? Networking like crazy, building the connection so that you can speak at more colleges and universities. But my older self says, Tom, using spend a hundred plus days on the road. You have to balance between spending time at home with your family, which you love, and your career, which you love. And so here I chose to come on the last day to speak at this conference. This is a challenge everyone is going to have to face as their career grows and they get more successful balancing their personal life with their professional life.
