360: Advice for Working Moms from Pulitzer Prize-Winning Writer Joann Lublin

by

I’ve talked to a ton of writers the last 7 years. But I don’t think I can say I’ve ever spoken with a Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Until now.

What an honor it is to welcome Joann Lublin to the podcast. She’s a former Wall Street Journal career columnist and shared the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for her writing on corporate scandals.

She’s coming on to talk about her new book called Power Moms: How Executive Mothers Navigate Work and Life.

In the book, Joann compares two generations of women – boomers and GenXers – to examine how each navigates the emotional and professional challenges involved in juggling managerial careers and families.

There’s a lot here for not only moms, but dads and leaders of all stripes.

I hope you’ll click the play button below to learn more about Joann and her Pulitzer Prize-winning work. For a summary, just keep scrolling.

In today’s episode, I ask Joann about:

  • Why she believes in Work-Life Sway over Work-Life Balance
  • Examples of companies who have “stepped-up” with regard to working moms and dads
  • Not-so-obvious parenting skills that can be an asset to leaders
  • And plenty more!
