Executive Function: Advice from Moms at the Top Ten

At the Top 10 Best Companies, high-ranking working moms see stress as just another management challenge. Here are their best strategies for keeping wellness on their to-do lists.

Edited by Annie Finnigan

Work Out

Katy Dickson, 47
Minneapolis
General Mills VP, Meals Division; mom of Michael, 13, Audrey, 11, and Sydney, 8

"My secret weapons are planning and working out, and they go hand in hand. Every morning I run around Minneapolis’s lakes, sorting through what’s coming up. I've sketched out a plan the night before, carving out time for work and family, building in hard stops for things like my daughter’s soccer game—but now I really look at it. Maybe I have 20 things to do but time for 10. While I'm running I figure out what I can delegate, what needs attention, what I can move, when I get to the office, I’m not ramping up—I'm at 100 percent.”
