For decades, we've been told that we can "have it all" at work and in our personal lives. But most of us find ourselves frequently overextended at work, making sacrifices at home, or sidelining personal goals because of more immediate work and family needs. Do you want to change this pattern and stop feeling like you never have enough time for the things you really care about? Jessica DeGroot, Founder and President of ThirdPath Institute, knows that the way to find time for work and life is through imaginative, outside-the-box thinking followed by bold and courageous steps to redesign your approach to work and to life. For the past two decades, DeGroot has worked with corporate leaders, professionals, parents, and community members to help individuals find their unique "third path"—a path that has space for relationships and self-care, alongside professional fulfillment.

In The ThirdPath Leader you'll be introduced to ThirdPath's community of leaders: men, women, parents, professionals, executives who have made innovative changes at home and at work to redesign their lives and prioritize what is most important to them. You'll learn about engineers and programmers who successfully implemented four-day workweeks, accountants who took summers off to be with their children, and parents who learned how to share caregiving responsibilities—all while continuing to advance their careers. You'll also learn how these professionals moved into leadership positions and became instrumental in changing the culture at their workplaces. The ThirdPath Leader will help you take stock of your own priorities, time, and abilities to make purposeful change and build a more intentional, meaningful, and rewarding life at home and at work. Plus, The ThirdPath Leader includes proven exercises to help you and your family members begin your journey to a more mindful approach to work-life integration.

Jessica DeGroot is president and founder of ThirdPath Institute, a national nonprofit that helps men and women—as parents and leaders—develop integrated solutions around how they approach work and life so they can feel successful in both. ThirdPath provides resources to individuals and families as well as leaders who are interested in supporting an integrated approach from entry level to executive level. Jessica received her MBA from the Wharton School. She and ThirdPath have been featured in a wide variety of news media. Jessica and her husband live in Philadelphia, and they both learned a lot putting these ideas into practice as they raised their two children and now care for their aging parents.
