1.  Define flexibility.

2.  What's the distinction between flex and flux?

3.  What have we learned from our mistakes, if any, regarding flexibility?

4.  How does one make flexibility work - the individual; the employer?

5.  How can a working mom make the "pitch" and draft a "proposal" for flexibility?

And, she gave us the answers and more. We learned that doing your homework is integral to the success of creating a flexible work arrangement that fits you and your organization.  

Nora has also generously made available her "Flexibility Proposal Template."  So, if you'd like some help in getting your flexibility proposal together get your complimentary copy by e-mailing laura@briefcasemoms.com and put Flexibility Proposal in the subject line.

The next Balance Teleforum is: Do Nice Girls Finish Last?

Date: Tuesday, March 11 at 10-11 am PT/1-2 pm ET.

As anyone who has ever watched "The Apprentice" knows, business is a tough game to play. Is it true that nice girls finish last? Not likely.

If you want to learn how being nice is an advantage in today's workplace, join me as I share some key game rules like respecting the opinions of co-workers, offering to lend a hand and being courteous in all your interactions.

But there is a big difference between being nice and being a pushover. Learn how to leverage your innate style to finish first (instead of being trampled or labeled) in the game of business. 

Wishing you success that's balanced, Lisa
