EVP, Distribution Crown Media

Under Lee’s guidance, her team turned Hallmark Movie Channel into one of cable’s fastest growing networks during 2013, with an increase of 5.6 million homes in October compared to October 2012. That kind of success takes hard work, but Lee keeps it in perspective. “Defining what life balance means to you and not worrying how others define ‘work-life balance’” is the key, she says.

Best trick for maintaining the personal-professional life balance?
Defining what life balance means to you and not worrying how others define work-life balance.
