Being a Successful Business Women and a Mother – Do you believe you can be both?

Thursday, February 18, 2010 • Category: A taste of DEI discussions • Comments (2) •

Hi Devas,

I may be one of the youngest on the list which is why I’d like to ask you
all a question. I am just at the beginning of my career, a career that I
love, that I am passionate about and that I am determined to succeed in. My
question is, after all the discussions about the comprise between parenthood
and a successful career, do you feel as mothers that this is true? That
there is indeed a great comprise you have to make and that one will
eventually suffer, or at least dwindle behind?

I do want to have kids, but making something of myself and excelling in my
career is not something I’m willing to compromise on. So what does this
mean? Obviously I know that once I begin having children I will no longer be
able to work the 10-11 hour days that I’m used to, but will I be able to
excel and juggle my family life and professional? Do you believe it is
realistic?

If you feel like sharing, I’d love to hear your opinions and your personal
experiences.

Many Thanks,

~Natasha
