Happy National Working Parents Day! 🚀
Here are some words of wisdom from MSH's awesome working parents (swipe through to see their pictures!):
💙 "I would be lying if I said it was easy, it's so tough! I am a very regimented person so I have my scheduled nights that I own his bedtime routine. I get one on one time with him and can give 100% of my time to him. Being a mom has made me a stronger employee I am constantly learning patience, time management and learning on the fly!" -Kate, Director of Business Development
💙 "Work-life balance is difficult - make the most of the time you spend with both." -Matt, Chief Revenue Officer
💙 "Work-life balance is all about how you spend your time. Time is finite, and as a parent you have to be diligent about making time for your family. In my younger years I never realized how much "free" time I had. As an adult with 2 children and a loving wife, time passes by in an instant and it never feels like enough. Working in a busy startup requires extra mindfulness of how my time is allocated, and my little ones will remind me when I need some re-alignment."
-Carl Osterman, Chief Technology Officer
💙 "Balancing work and family really depends on the week. Sometimes it’s weighted towards one side or the other. I’m very routine-driven and rely on my calendar for pretty much everything. Whether at work or with my family I try to be present in the moment and intentional with my time. I’m grateful to have a family that lets me do my thing at work but knows I’m 100% dialed in when I get home!" -Corey, VP of Talent Solutions
💙 "My approach to balancing work and family life is based on the legacy I want to leave behind. For me, that legacy isn’t defined by my job title or salary, but by the values I instill in my children as a father and husband. My family understands that work sometimes demands long hours, but they also know that my top priority is being a present father— it's sharing dinner together every night, attending their school and sports events, or just being there when it matters most. I manage my time and schedule to ensure I can be fully present for my kids, even if it means working early mornings or late evenings." -Danny, Director of Project Management
💙 "I love showing my daughter how fun life can be when you enjoy what you do. I make sure we have our time together, but she also gets that I have responsibilities, and she’ll have her own one day too. It’s great to see how much she enjoys this balance, knowing that life can be fun and full of purpose." -Juliana, Sr. Delivery Consultant
💙 "Wherever you are - at work or at home - be there!" -Oz, Chief Executive Officer
💙 "When you've got a family, I think the purpose of the work is to do the best you can for your family. It's a fine balance between making decisions that are best for them and not necessarily for yourself, while still committing fully to your company's mission." -Ryan, Chief Data Officer
