Part 8/11:
As her family and career progressed, she developed a new construct of balance—one that is fluid and adaptable. Her husband, also a business leader, is an active partner in managing family responsibilities. They devised creative solutions like “who puts the travel on the calendar first,” to navigate the demands of their careers and children.

When offered a new opportunity, she initially hesitated, mindful of the impact on her family and her own sense of balance. When the offer was finally made, she negotiated for fair compensation—demanding equal pay for her sacrifices and her contributions as a woman and mother. Her firm stance was rooted in her belief that women deserve recognition for the often-unseen work they undertake.
