We had the good fortune of connecting with Chile Verde and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chile Verde, have there been any changes in how you think about work-life balance?
When I first started in the marketing industry over 12 years ago, work-life balance was quite a challenge. I dedicated countless hours to my work, driven by passion and a desire to excel. However, as I founded and grew Dream agency, my perspective on balance evolved. Initially, the demands of establishing Dream agency blurred the lines between work and personal life. Over time, I learned the importance of delegating tasks and trusting my team. This allowed me to maintain a healthier balance.

Today, I approach work-life balance holistically. I prioritize time management, set clear boundaries, and ensure I make time for self-care and loved ones. This balance is crucial for creativity, reducing burnout, and enhancing productivity. At Dream agency, I encourage my team to find their own balance, believing that a well-rested and fulfilled team delivers the best results.

Achieving work-life balance is an ongoing journey, requiring continuous adjustment. By valuing both professional growth and personal well-being, we create a sustainable and fulfilling path to success.
