The world is changing - faster than we can keep up. But change is a distraction, and the way to respond to macro change is to focus on micro you. Jim's Take creates an environment that’s ripe for learning practical, tangible and interesting ways to remain relevant while improving yourself and the people around you.
Jim Frawley is an arbiter of change; working as an executive coach and business consultant with a unique capability in getting people to do things they didn’t think they could. After some experimentation on using this capability for good or evil, he decided on the good. (But not before convincing an Irish cousin to swim in the Hudson River.)
He has learned a lot by making very questionable decisions and loves sharing those learnings with anyone interested in listening.
This podcast is just one component of what he always wished to build. More information is available on www.jimfrawley.com.

Title: The Myth of Work-Life Balance: Why You’re Already Doing It (and How to Do It Better)Description:You’ve been told for decades to “find your work-life balance” — but what if you’ve already got it? In this episode of Jim’s Take, I break down why the traditional idea of a perfect 50/50 split between work and life is unrealistic, guilt-inducing, and—frankly—a corporate PR creation from the 1980s.The truth? You’re already balancing every single day. The challenge isn’t achieving balance — it’s defining it for yourself, keeping your most important “plates” spinning, and letting the paper ones drop without guilt.We’ll cover:* The origin of work-life balance as a corporate talking point.* Why the 50/50 model sets you up for guilt and burnout.* The “dishes on sticks” metaphor for real-life balance.* How to identify your glass plates (non-negotiables) and paper plates (let them fall).* Practical strategies for managing your energy instead of just your time.* How to create seasonal balance - knowing that September might look nothing like July.* Real-world stories of clients who redefined balance to reclaim family time and reduce stress.Whether you’re a CEO, a working parent, an entrepreneur, or anyone juggling competing demands, this episode will help you stop chasing the fantasy of balance and start owning the balancing act you’re already performing.Key Takeaways:* Balance is personal — no one can define it for you.* You can’t spin every plate equally; choose the ones that matter most.* Dropping a plate isn’t failure — it’s focus.GEO Keywords: Work-life balance in the United States, managing work and family in New York, corporate wellness strategies, finding personal balance in busy cities.
