The famous work-life balance is just an illusion, everyone wants it, hardly anyone has it.” Daniela Elsner suggests an alternative concept for combining our different tasks and roles in life, the “Tailor your Life Principle". As a university professor, executive coach, psychotherapist, book author and ex-single mother of three, she is considered an authentic expert on work-life balance, resilience and career-family compatibility.
