Earlier this week, UB's Joyce Marter spoke to small business owners at the Evanston Chamber of Commerce.  Joyce was asked to discuss strategies for achieving work/life balance, including stress management techniques, self-care, assertiveness, setting boundaries and positive thinking.  Participants engaged in a lively discussion about the challenges of creating structure and accessing support (especially when working from home), and also shared solutions that have worked for them.

UB is an active member of the chamber as a way to network and collaborate with other businesses in the Evanston community.  Joyce has an extensive background in providing workplace wellness seminars and enjoys sharing the knowledge she has gained through over 15 years of counseling.
