In a recent survey conducted by Resume Now, when workers were asked to look back on their career and name their biggest regret, 66% stated, “Neglecting work-life balance” as their #1 regret. In other words, if they could do it all over again, they would have spent more time with family and loved ones.

We live in a world that celebrates success at work—but rarely asks what it costs us at home. Too often, people rise to the top in their careers only to find they are running on empty in their relationships, their faith, or their personal well-being.

That’s why I created the workshop, Leading at Work Without Failing at Home. On October 4th, I’ll walk you through the subtle, but destructive patterns that rob us of balance. Before the workshop, let me give you a glimpse of the Five Hidden Dangers that you may be facing right now, without even realizing it.

1. Neglect

It often starts small—a missed dinner or a forgotten school function here, a skipped conversation there. Understand this – neglect grows silently. Why? We can become so focused on our careers that family and personal connections quietly drift into the background.

2. Numbness

When the demands of a career become relentless, we can start to numb out emotionally. Conversations feel shallow, joy fades, and we stop celebrating the small moments at home. Work has our passion. Home gets our leftovers.

3. Noise

We live in an age of constant notifications, emails, and endless meetings. The noise of the urgent drowns out what’s truly important. Without intentional quiet, we lose perspective—and our families pay the price of our distraction.

4. Notoriety

There’s nothing wrong with being recognized for hard work, but when recognition becomes the fuel that drives us, it’s never enough. People who crave notoriety at work can unintentionally starve their loved ones of the attention and affirmation they need most.

5. No Boundaries

Every person needs limits. Without them, work seeps into every hour of the day and every corner of the home. People without boundaries often discover too late that their relationships have become casualties of their ambition.

Which of the Above Resonates Most With You?

What can you do right now to address this hidden danger?

Why This Matters

These dangers are easy to miss because they feel like “part of the job.” When left unchecked, they don’t just threaten your home life—they eventually catch up to your work life. Burnout, broken relationships, and regret don’t have to be the story.

That’s why I created this Maximum Breakthrough Workshop: Leading at Work Without Failing at Home. On October 4th, we’ll dig deeper into each of these dangers, uncover the practical steps to overcome them, and discover how to create balance that fuels both your leadership and your life.

Don’t be part of the 66% and wait until the warning signs become regrets.
