How this talk speaks to me right now, is unreal! For 5 years, since getting my kids, i've struggled to do just that, and it's still an ongoing struggle, i.e. balancing the life of work with children and still maintaining one's sense of identity. It must really be an ongoing journey, so thanks for your honesty and raised concerns on this chat, it helped me put things into perspective. I'm ambitious, but not at the cost of a balanced life with myself and family..
I believe there are other factors to take into consideration when one is looking at their work life balance.Personally,I'm in position where I could advance into an Executive Leadership role. I chose not to do so because I currently work normal business hours from home and homeschool my son. I realize if I were to take an advancement additional working hours would be required and the flexibility I once had may be gone. Sometimes the advancement isn't worth the additional working hours and increased responsibility.
Those high educated women might have found their happiness and true satisfaction from working at home rather than competing with others for a high position in work place. Just because the society now needs such contributive jobs as surgeons, polices, scientists, it doesn't mean the definition of a successful life is high-salary and working most of the time, it doesn't mean working at home is any less successful, and it definitely doesn't mean high educated women should choose work over home because they are obligated to change this "male dominated society"... Just choose what you like and don't perceive everything as an issue of equality:)
I don't think a refusal to make sacrifices at home is a bad thing. Your children only have one childhood, that's the only guaranteed time you have with them. You can have a career any time.
+Joan Shu it's like you muted the video when you watched it... I'm curious as to why you believe something that has a counter argument that's backed up with scientific research? just a 'gut feeling' eh? Must be more trustworthy than evidence.
+Callum Greenaway One of the implication the research shows in the video is that women who are less ambitious to work think their sacrifices aren't equally paid,and the people who succeeded in that field of career are men. So you think why men are more successful in certain kind of jobs than women is because women can not compete with men?
This is one of the best TedTalks I’ve watched! 🙌🏼 what a lovely perspective and something we all know is true. Michelle Ryan’s way of presenting is so well organized. Her style of speech and voice are so easy to listen to. The words are articulated so well. So happy to have found this! Thank You!
She spent 10 seconds addressing her fix to the problem. Her solution is to have policy in place so underrepresented people can Imagine themselves succeeding.
look all these comments, just proved your point. Men have no idea what they've done to suffocate women and they still think it is fair. It is like the world is holding a competition and it is so fair that anyone could enter, men or women, children or oddly, except the even itself is wrestling .
Truth is most drop out of those time consuming career paths and school majors because at a certain point of time, women start to value family over career. It's my case.

You never know which person in your work environment has some incredible solutions. Got to give everyone a fair go.
We need more sessions like this to spread awareness about the issue of teacher stress.
I just loved the way Michelle Ryan speaks! Crystal clear!
Misleading title.

Thank you for work life balance: nicely described.
Thank you for the talk on this interesting topic on women worklife.
Interesting session
Did make sense in some way. But I still believe that it's more about women's own choice to stop their work, not the disability to compete with men.

arguing on the internet is pointless isnt it each person just restates their view point and nothing is achieved
