By Jacqueline Foley

Book Overview

Trying to strike the right balance between career and motherhood is one of the most stressful, heart-wrenching issues facing women today. Torn between the need to nurture and the need to work, women yearn for a way to have the best of both worlds. In Flex Time, author Jacqueline Foley shows mothers that they can get the life they want by changing the way they work. In direct and engaging language, Foley shows readers how to create a personal vision of work/family balance, figure out the flexible work schedule that best suits them, prepare a compelling proposal for flexible work to pitch to their boss, and much more.

Great Read, Very Helpful

This book has helped me to better understand my options as well as give me the confidence needed to pursue my career and motherhood goals. Once the baby arrives I guess I will know how helpful the book really was, but so far, it has provided me with a lot of valuable information.
