Editor’s Note: The following are quotes from the March 6 Women Empowerment Talk organized by the Kyiv Post in partnership with CMS law firm and Ring Ukraine.
Kira Rudik,
CEO of Ring Ukraine
“All of us, we are super passionate about what we are doing, and we all tend to have work, which is our passion, to play a major role in our life, that is why it is often hard to say where the passion ends, and what you need to add to be fulfilled. For me balance is about quality of time.”
Marina Petrov,
deputy head of European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in Ukraine
“For me, balance is recognizing your limits, seeing your challenges, but also knowing how much you can do, and then delegating and asking for help. Do not forget that there are people around to help you.”
Rachel Caldwell,
director of Pechersk School International
“Balance is a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction when you consider the things that are very important to you in your life. I think I have learned over the years that balance is a moving target as well.”
Alp Arbatli,
country manager, Beko Ukraine
“Unfortunately, today`s competitive environment does not allow us to have a stress-free working space, but we are trying to ease the side effects with some friendly atmosphere so that we get away from the stress.”
Nina Dombrowska,
president of Henkel in Ukraine
“For me balance is equal to happiness, as we all, whether we are men or women, we have different roles in our life, and if we are successful in all of these roles — we are happy.”
