Balancing work and family life – still a marginal issue?

In my professional career—whether in the watch industry, healthcare, IT, banking and insurance, administration, or the hotel industry—I've experienced one thing time and again: Well-educated, committed women are out there. What's often missing are the right frameworks for them to realize their full potential.
As an organizational developer, I see every day how much potential lies in work-life balance – not just for individuals, but for entire organizations. Flexible work models, genuine part-time options for leadership roles, career opportunities without a culture of presence – these are not "nice-to-haves," but strategic necessities in the context of skilled labor shortages and demographic change.
Instead of continuing to complain about a lack of skilled workers, we as a society and economy should finally have a serious discussion:💡 What framework conditions are really needed?🚀 What concrete measures will help in the long term?
👉 I am convinced that if we take work-life balance seriously, everyone will benefit – companies, employees and ultimately society.
😊 One reason why I am self-employed: my company, my strategy, the right framework for my life.
