Balanced Leadership

A balanced you at work means showing up focused, present, authentic and energized for your work and your people. Supporting your team in finding and maintaining balance helps them experience more joy and focus in their work. A balanced team produces higher-quality results in less time while fostering a people-first culture that also benefits your bottom line.

It never fails, when I try to explain the beautiful, balanced culture we are building at KidGlov (focused on finding joy in our work), someone inevitably says, “Oh, you mean good work/life balance?”

The Art of Vulnerability at Work

By Katherine Warren • February 8, 2025

I get it—prioritizing yourself is HARD. But I am here to tell you firsthand, the gifts that you give yourself will impact everyone you encounter. Cultivating balance in you will create deeper, richer relationships at home, at work, and out in the wild. Let’s build balance in ourselves so that we can gift it out into the world for others.

Looking for help with strategy or marketing? Great! You can reach out to me at KidGlov for those services.
