Re: [MTC Global] [Weekend Big Debate- I] Women can't have it all

This is an interesting issue

Being married to a high achiever CEO and proud parent of a high achiever MD PhD daughter who is now a cancer specialist in Sloan Kettering I have no doubt that proper planning can ensure success in work and life with no compromises

Subject: [MTC Global] [Weekend Big Debate- I] Women can't have it all

Dear Esteemed MTCians,
Happy Friday Morning!!!

"PepsiCo's India-born CEO Indra Nooyi, counted among the world's most powerful women, acknowledged that it is difficult to maintain a work-life balance and women "Cannot have it all", saying she doubts if her daughters think she was a good mother".

There is a hue and cry over her recent this statement on women.

Request esteemed Member's views on the subject.

My Experience:

It is difficult for a woman to manage both the worlds , family and professional, without the support of the husband [ and others in case of joint family] . I had a challenging experience. When I got married my wife was in HP and later on moved to WebEx and Cisco. When we had a baby girl, I started counselling my wife to shift career as finding it difficult from being away from my native to manage the family. Being from lower-middle class family we never had a dream of becoming a millionaire but just to live a happy life which I follow even today.

My wife took break for 4 years. During this time she completed her MA [English- Gold Medalist], MBA and double B.Ed to fit into academic. Now , she is a principal in Lady Vailankanni International School , Bangalore and doing great. We put our daughter also [3.5 years old] in the same school. Even though work - pressure not reduced but under control. I even cook food for my family and do all other works at home [which generally a woman does] so that she gets time and performs well. Many times being a principal she has to slog in the school. She has proved her credentials in academic also bringing up the school as one of the top destinations for students for quality education. I am happy I could help her through the transition stage. There is happiness and satisfaction at the end.........................
