Weeeeellll sure they are people to whom I have delivered training, and it will benefit the company if I keep in close contact with them, but, I like these people and I am happy that they want to share their successes with me \u2013 I do feel like I have played a part in making that happen for them (also, I\u2019m pretty sure I won\u2019t have to buy a drink all night, lol) But is that work??\u00a0 Hey perhaps I can lodge an expenses claim for the taxi home \u2013 Karen???<\/p>\n<p>Near the end of next month, I will be attending a webinar about the effect of social media on business.\u00a0 I have registered because I am interested, but it is during office hours and I have not applied for leave. \u00a0It may well be of benefit to the company to have more information about that, but is it actually work?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anyhow, you see my problem \u2013 I love what I do and I do what I love, so it is very hard to draw a distinct boundary between the two.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you do not have this problem, I strongly suggest that you work out what you are passionate about, then get the <a title=\"work\/life balance\" href=\"\/catalogue-of-courses-category-view\" target=\"_blank\">TRAINING <\/a>to make it your profession as well as your passion!<\/p>\n<p><strong>I call it life-work synergy, not work-life balance!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a title=\"\/blog\/professional-development-training\/time-management-training\/manage-time-greater-productivity\/\" href=\"\/blog\/professional-development-training\/time-management-training\/manage-time-greater-productivity\/\" target=\"_blank\">Related Article&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"\/pd-training-reviews\"><b>Pdtraining<\/b><\/a><\/span><span class=\"s3\"><b> delivers 1000\u2019s of professional development courses each year in Brisbane, Sydney, Parramatta, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth, so you can be assured your training will be delivered by a qualified and experienced trainer.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s3\"><b>All public\u00a0<a title=\"Work-Life Balance Training Class\" href=\"\/courses\/work-life-balance-training-course\" target=\"_blank\">Work-Life Balance Training<\/a><\/b><b>\u00a0courses include am\/pm tea, lunch, printed courseware and a certificate of completion.\u00a0 Customised courses are available upon request so please contact pdtraining on\u00a01300 121 400 to learn more.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyhow, back to work\/life balance&#8230;It is said that the perfect balance has been achieved when you have enough time and energy to both do your job and live the rest of your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1588,1589,66,1586,1587,1584,1585,65],"views":38,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pdtraining.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pdtraining.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pdtraining.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pdtraining.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pdtraining.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=347"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/pdtraining.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3894,"href":"https:\/\/pdtraining.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347\/revisions\/3894"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pdtraining.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pdtraining.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pdtraining.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
