Accomplished central bank Director-General & Assistant Governor Serey Chea has a stellar career record most of us can only aspire towards. Her job leading the central bank requires frequent travel, at times in different countries all in a month. Yet she keeps abreast with her four children's homework and even know when the milk has run out in the fridge! How does she manage to thrive at work while 'being present' for her children?
