Tami Forman focuses on giving people who’ve taken time from their careers to care for their loved ones the opportunity to re-enter the workforce. She shares more about bias with work/life conflict for both women and men, how we need to rethink what it means to work, and how we, shockingly, still navigate decades-old norms, need to be open to radical ideas to make real change in our workplace and our lives.

3. Who am I surrounding myself with to help me be my best at work and home?
4. How can I engage others in a dialogue about work/life conflict?
