Over lunch with her boss， Kathy Uhl was given everything that she‘d been working toward career-wise at her Orlando-based cable company. She got a bigger staff， more responsibility and a generous increase in salary and bonuses. But she wasn’t sure she wanted to become vice president of human resources for the entire state of Florida. 西？尤尔(Kathy Uhl)在一家总部位于奥兰多(Orlando)的有线电视公司工作，在一次与老板共进午餐时，尤尔被授予了之前她为之努力打拼的一切──她将拥有更多的员工，担负起更大的责任，并能收获丰厚的加薪和奖金。但她却并不确定，自己是否真的想成为主管整个佛罗里达州业务的人力资源副总裁。 ‘It was a great job and I liked the company and people. The thing is that my life felt out of balance at the time. I’d been focused on my career for a while and missed my family back in Denver， ‘ says Ms. Uhl， who then consulted with a career coach who helped her decide what was most important to her. 尤尔说：“这是份很棒的工作，我也很喜欢这家公司和周围的同事。但问题是，那个时候，我的生活感觉失衡了。好一阵子，我一直都在专注于自己的工作，却忽略了我在丹佛的家。”尤尔后来又向一位职业教练进行咨询，后者帮她弄清了一个问题：对她而言，什么才是最重要的事。 She ended up turning down the promotion and moving back to Colorado， where she is now vice president at a public service credit union that is five miles from her home. Although she makes less money now， she has evenings and weekends free to spend with her sons. |
