Frequently asked questions
What is work-life balance training?
Work-life balance training helps people take control of their workload so it stops spilling into the rest of their life, using time management as the practical lever. Leadership Edge Live delivers it as a four-week live virtual course that teaches four core time management principles and a time matrix, then dedicates a session to the four areas of life that fall out of balance when time is poorly managed.
What is the difference between time management and priority management?
Time management is about how you spend your hours; priority management is about making sure those hours go to what actually matters. This course uses a time matrix to draw that distinction directly, so your team stops confusing being busy with being effective and learns to protect time for the work and the life areas that count.
How does this course help prevent burnout?
It helps prevent burnout by treating overload as a time-and-priority problem you can fix rather than a personal failing, and by naming the four areas of life that tip out of balance when work takes over. Managers learn to spot the early signs in themselves and their team and rebalance before exhaustion sets in, which protects both wellbeing and retention.
Is this the same as your time management course?
No, this course leans on the work-life balance side, where time management is the tool for protecting your life outside work, while our separate time management course focuses on prioritizing and protecting focus during the workday. They share principles but solve different problems, so a team can take either or both depending on whether the pain is workload or overall balance.
Can a team take this work-life balance course online together?
Yes, it is delivered live online across four weekly sessions of about an hour, so a team can attend together without travel. Because it is facilitator-led rather than self-paced, the reflection on priorities and life balance happens in real discussion, and you can register a team for a free trial session first.
