Hobbies and Work-Life Balance

While many engineers and leaders claim that they don’t have time for hobbies, it’s important for any professional to maintain a work-life balance – and that means getting out of the office. Hobbies can build a variety of skills, whether you’re dancing the tango or joining a theater company.

Whether focused on personal development or on cooperation and networking, hobbies can also make you more adept at your job, and in particular, at leadership. We will learn about some hobbies that engineers and leaders enjoy, and about how they contribute to their well-being and work-life balance.  Plus we’ll have some demonstrations!

There are lots of different hobbies; this month we will focus on the arts. Thinking creatively is an essential quality of any good leader, and artistic pursuits – whether sculpting, painting, sketching, pottery, music, dance, or theater – can help you develop creative ways to address problems.

The arts can assist in developing “out of the box” thinking – unique and non-traditional ways to address problems that may arise.
