Recently I listened to a client who is struggling in her marriage discuss how difficult it is to watch other happily married couples.

In the span of a career it is likely that all of us will have to take leave for one reason or another. Recently this happened to me. As I reflected on what went well and what didn’t I realized the lessons I learned and the changes that I made are for life – not just the leave. I’m glad I learned them now and not later.
