Introduction
How many people do you know who, although successful at work, have a non existent or less than satisfactory personal life? And then again, how many people, in order to put home life first, have decided that they have to limit and restrict their goals at work?
This is a programme in two parts for people who want both. It builds the bridge between home life and working life.
