Corporate Partner Speaker Series: Crafting Work and Life Harmony in the “New Normal”

As the world moves forward in the wake of the pandemic, the boundaries between personal and professional roles are more blurred than ever. It is no longer sustainable to expect individuals to sacrifice their well-being and relationships to achieve professional goals. A new approach to individual and organizational success is needed – one that rejects this “trade-off” mentality and facilitates thriving in all parts of life. In this session, Alyssa Westring provides evidence-based and practical guidance on individuals can use a leadership approach to cultivate greater harmony and effectiveness across all life roles in this “new normal.”

Alyssa Westring, Ph.D., is Vincent de Paul Professor of Management at the Driehaus College of Business, DePaul University. She is co-author of Parents Who Lead: The Leadership Approach You Need to Parent with Purpose, Fuel Your Career, and Create a Richer Life. An award-winning educator and Certified Diversity Professional, Westring shares her expertise on leadership, work/life harmony and women's careers in leading academic and popular outlets and is a frequent keynote speaker at Fortune 500 companies. She has two school-aged children and lives in Chicago.

​​​​​​​This event is brought to you by the corporate and employer outreach team at DePaul University. Before the webinar, DePaul will make a brief presentation about degree opportunities available to employees of its corporate education partners.
