[quote=Anonymous]“There is no way to be part time and do important work/leadership. Nope. You have to choose. Or: you can have it all but not at the same time.” This is not true. I used to work for a female director in finance who worked 9am-3pm to accommodate her kids schedules. She did not take work home nor work weekends. This is how she balanced her life, and she worked with a very good company and had a great career and reputation. She was able to ramp back to full time after her kids went to college, got promotions, and she recently retired after a satisfying career. So yes it is possible to be part time but still do leadership and important work. The key is having a presence, reputation and brand before you need to go part time, so your leadership is willing to take a chance on you or fight for accommodations on your behalf. You have to pay your dues.[/quote]
