Confession 9: I struggled with taking vacation

Confession 9: I struggled with taking vacation

Taking time off is important for our well being, the development of our teams and company culture. For many years when I took time off I was still on. I was checking emails frequently, taking "important" calls, working on proposals and so forth. One leader helped change my approach by role modeling how to unplug 100% and showed me all the shared value that is created in the process. Check out this weeks confession to hear more about my personal journey.

Great advice to keep in mind all year, not just around the holidays like I usually find myself doing. Thanks Joshua Craver!
