I would love to make a positive impact on other's life by improving their lifestyle quality. I have seen how miraculously physiotherapy worked for my family after a disability and a fracture. The joy and hope received are tremendous by the patient and for the therapist. What is the favourite part of providing physiotherapy? It's rewarding to see how a therapist can alleviate a fellow human from pain. The best part is that I am blessed to heal people with my hands. What is challenging in my work? I have to be emphatic and yet be firm and loving to get the therapy completed. A fine line between those two emotions is difficult to balance. Dealing with the different psyches of patients is the other challenge I face regularly. Message to Womenlines audience? We, women, are like a lantern, to shine bright we need fuel first!

Getting to know Elizabeth George Elizabeth George works as a senior manager at Sensormatic, a subsidiary of Johnson Controls. She is a mother of two boys, 16 and 10 years old. Elizabeth is also a member of  Toastmaster International and has served in different capacities within the organization.  Taking a step back Forcing someone to action may get you temporary success but as time goes by, things will revert back or may turn into a situation that is worse than you started.  It’s important to find balance. Look for where your team naturally excels and what your working environment has to offer.  Elizabeth started stamp collecting and included the help of her ten-year-old. She also used social media platforms and joined Facebook groups to occupy her time. It was a good thing to be busy during the pandemic. Pivoting and moving forward  Do not be afraid of taking risks. This is what you need to do when you're going to an unknown position or new company.  Elizabeth took the leap when she was offered a management position, work that’s beyond her engineering scope. It was also a position where she needed to do extensive traveling. Before she accepted, she thought about the position and talked about it with her family.  The management position taught her many things. The risk she took allowed her to negotiate a new position within the company.  Coming from a different cultural background, Elizabeth needed to work on many issues.  You don’t go to work to make friends but when you do get to work, you need to build relationships with people who are ready to support you.  Look for a person to act as your sounding board. This could be a friend, a partner, or a family member. Having someone to talk to helps you put things in perspective.  When you need to take a step back to due to personal reasons, think of the long-term ramifications. Be patient and know that taking a step back allows you to have better doors opened for you in the future.  Leaders benefit when they listen to their team.  You are never going to go into a position without facing some obstacles. Think of these obstacles as your competition.  “Two Steps Back to Move Forward” episode resources Reach out and connect with Elizabeth George via LinkedIn.  Do you have more stories to tell?
