What do you find particularly challenging in your weekly schedule?
Trying to reconcile personal and family life with professional life. Considering the demands in the working world and having quality time with the family is without a doubt a challenge. That old maxim of when you are, you are whole is really my biggest challenge on a daily basis.
How do you find motivation and strength in your week?
I am a self-motivated person, which helps a lot in my way of being and looking at things and the difficulties that happen on a daily basis.
