Dr. Gail Golden, former psychotherapist, licensed psychologist, MBA-holding entrepreneur (founder of Gail Golden Consulting) and author of “Curating Your Life: Ending the Struggle for Work-Life Balance” also spoke about our relationship with work, overwork culture and whether work-life balance is a myth.
