We are at another pivot point in this global pandemic and to be most effective, we are going to need to bring our best selves. This means we need to rest. We are doing A LOT right now to manage our careers, our families, and ourselves. Doing this without a break is not sustainable. Vacation may not look the same as it used to, but it gives you an opportunity to recharge and do what you value with your time, so it’s worth it. This episode provides tips to prepare for and take vacation, even in these unusual times, so you can be more engaged and effective at work and home. (In this episode I’ll specifically focus on taking time off from work, but if you want tips on how to rest and why that’s so important, check out episode 9.)

As more states start to re-open, you may face a re-entry to work (and the commute that comes with it). If you work in an office, like I do, this can come with a lot of different feelings. This episode provides tips to help you and your team prepare for a potential transition or return to work in an office. Know that things will never be like what they were before. If you’re feeling uncomfortable, this is a sign that you are experiencing change—and with that comes growth. I’m spending time reflecting on what I am learning from all of this and what I want to keep—or get rid of—for the future. How will you take what you’ve learned and bring the best of that to yourself and your leadership in the “new normal”? Your One Bold Move: Help you and your team prepare for a potential transition or return to work in an office where you can feel as great as possible about next steps.
