Balancing Personal and Professional Life with Author and Father, Scott Behson-Ep69
In this episode of the Dad Spotlight we interview Dr. Scott Behson about balancing personal and professional life. Scott Behson, PhD, is a professor of management at Fairleigh Dickinson University, a national expert in work and family issues, and was a featured speaker at the recent White House Summit on Working Families.
He’s the author of [amazon text=The Working Dad’s Survival Guide: How to Succeed at Work and at Home&asin=1628651946], the first book of its kind to provide advice and encouragement for working fathers, helping them to achieve success in their careers while also being the involved, loving dads they always wanted to be.
We loved speaking with Scott Behson and hearing his passion for working dads and all of the amazing things that he is working on to get the message out about fatherhood and how fathers can better balance work and family.
If you have never heard anything about this book, you have to check it out, as it was well researched, and offers practical and tips for any working dad.
Specifically, [amazon text=The Working Dad’s Survival Guide: How to Succeed at Work and at Home&asin=1628651946] will provide powerful and tangible benefits that will help busy fathers:
* Understand that most dads face the same struggles they do. Reading about other dads’ concerns and struggles will help them feel less alone and more likely to discuss their issues and seek support.
* Articulate their career and family priorities through reflection and self-assessment exercises and by reading about other dads who have chosen non-traditional paths. They can then use this information to make action plans to better align their choices with their priorities.
* Assess their current workplace’s and employer’s attitudes towards work and family. This can lead to a better understanding of ways dads can pursue work-family balance and what barriers may be in their way.
* Maintain and enhance their work productivity through better prioritization, planning and focus, as well as more efficient time management.
* Understand how to create, negotiate for, and utilize workplace flexibility.
* Protect family time from the creeping demands of work.
* Improve their focus on the most important aspects of parenting, and gain a better understanding of how wives, families and children benefit from present, involved fathers.
* Carve out “me time”—exercise and social activities—needed to de-stress, renew energy and maintain mental health.
* Build a support network of other working dads so that they can give and receive friendship, emotional support and tangible help.
Throughout the interview you will hear how passionate and invested Scott Behson is with his own son and how lately he has been working to help his son to create short movies. One of the movies that he and his son created can be viewed by clicking on the below link:
