1
00:00:05,808 --> 00:00:07,513
In my case it's a little bit different

2
00:00:07,513 --> 00:00:12,089
because I think, probably, my parenting experience

3
00:00:12,089 --> 00:00:15,048
associated with my work experience

4
00:00:15,048 --> 00:00:17,878
becomes probably one of the leading elements

5
00:00:17,878 --> 00:00:19,108
of my life.

6
00:00:19,108 --> 00:00:22,548
Trying to balance a job that is very demanding

7
00:00:22,548 --> 00:00:24,623
in terms of intensive traveling

8
00:00:24,623 --> 00:00:26,798
and having a family and a home

9
00:00:26,798 --> 00:00:28,889
that is also very demanding

10
00:00:28,889 --> 00:00:30,162
with some little comments

11
00:00:30,162 --> 00:00:33,418
coming from a seven-year-old daughter

12
00:00:33,418 --> 00:00:36,465
are often something that makes me think

13
00:00:36,465 --> 00:00:38,700
if I'm always doing the right things,

14
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:40,137
if I'm getting the right balance

15
00:00:40,137 --> 00:00:42,522
between the effort I'm putting in my job,

16
00:00:42,522 --> 00:00:44,040
which I'm very passionate about,

17
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,979
and a family that I love very much.

18
00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:47,957
But in the end, what is the right place

19
00:00:47,957 --> 00:00:51,160
and where am I making excuses

20
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:53,587
to try to make the most out of the other side?

21
00:00:53,587 --> 00:00:55,919
So, it's always an interesting subject,

22
00:00:55,919 --> 00:00:59,371
something that is very challenging.

23
00:00:59,371 --> 00:01:02,860
And every time I hear one of my fellows here

24
00:01:02,860 --> 00:01:04,464
talking about the subject,

25
00:01:04,464 --> 00:01:05,434
I'm very intrigued

26
00:01:05,434 --> 00:01:06,931
because I try to get ideas

27
00:01:06,931 --> 00:01:08,999
on how they are coping with a subject

28
00:01:08,999 --> 00:01:13,232
that is probably a big and important one

29
00:01:13,232 --> 00:01:14,474
for many of us,

30
00:01:14,474 --> 00:01:16,629
especially as you move up in positions

31
00:01:16,629 --> 00:01:18,626
that give you a lot of responsibilities,

32
00:01:18,626 --> 00:01:19,880
but with responsibilities,

33
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:20,960
you also get this,

34
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:23,079
let's say, downside.
