Susan Radojevic, President, The Peregrine Agency

Greetings!

Ho Ho Ho! It's that time of the year again when I (like most people celebrating the holidays) find themselves running around, planning the Christmas dinner menu; still looking for the perfect gift for that one finicky person we all have on our list; getting the decorations up and cards written and mailed before the post office deadline; managing a year's worth of social engagements in 2-weeks and trying to tie up loose ends at the office before everyone takes off for the holiday break.  I don't think I stand alone when I say that I could benefit from incorporating some serious work+life flexibility into my busy schedule!

So it's no surprise that this month in Corner Office, we discuss the vastly popular and somewhat misunderstood topic of Work+Life Flexibility. If you are familiar with the term work+life balance and you are wondering if work+life flexibility is essentially the same thing - it is not!

Cali Williams Yost, CEO and Founder of Flex+Strategy Group is our innovative thinker and guest in Corner Office. Called "one of the smartest" and "sophisticated thinkers" by The New York Times, Cali has been actively shaping the global dialogue on work+life flexibility for nearly two decades!  Cali offers a host of valuable insight to explain why work+life flexibility is not an employee perk, but is actually a strategic lever.

Also featured in this month's edition of Open Channel is a post from our popular Demystifying Meetings and Events Series. In Myth #2 we bust the myth that organizational efficiency is more important than organizational effectiveness.

From all of us here at The Agency and Corner Office, I'm Susan Radojevic wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
