Ever feel your career is thriving while life outside work slips through your fingers? Dr. James Bryant spent 20+ years as a civil engineer (National Academies/TRB) before turning his systems lens toward leadership and life.

When his second child arrived at 26 weeks, three questions changed everything:

1. Do you want to win at work?
2. Do you want to win at home?
3. Are you?

In this conversation, James and Gabriela dismantle the myth of static “work-life balance,” introduce dynamic balance (think: riding a bike), and share the Engineer’s Blueprint for Success—a practical path to reclaim time, prevent burnout, and lead with intention in both arenas.

What You’ll Learn

- The three questions that expose hidden misalignment

- Why “balance” fails—and how to practice dynamic balance & rhythms

- The Engineer’s Blueprint: Focus → Visualize (including obstacles) → Design → Execute

- Early burnout signals leaders miss (vacations that don’t refresh, relational shortness)

- How to separate identity from output: human being, not human doer

- Turning work skills into home wins (communication styles, check-ins, decision hygiene)

- Bringing your partner with you on big career moves (support ≠ same dream)
