If you're a member of the media, I
welcome your inquiries about issues related to
telecommuting, job sharing, compressed workweek,
part-time professional work or maternity leave.
Drawing on customer contacts since 1993, I can
provide real-life examples of the challenges and
benefits of a flexible work schedule, and offer specific strategies to successfully negotiate one.
I can also address lifestyle trends that drive the need
for flexible work. These include parenting,
elder care, a desire to spend less time commuting and
spend more time enjoying interests outside of work.
