Going on vacation? Don't forget about your home while you are gone. Unfortunately, we see this happen way too often: customers return from a relaxing vacation only to find a disaster in their home! Here are a few tips to ensure you come back to a safe and sound home.

I am elated to see how many of you agree that taking time away from work is important. We are aligned. ✔ Now, I'm going to up the ante. If your company offers it...take a 3-week long vacation. In my corporate career, I often received shocked responses when I shared that I would be away for three weeks at a time. Listen, I'll settle for 2, but only taking 1-week simply doesn't cut it. Hear me out: 1. How much are you REALLY able to disconnect when you are only missing in action for 5 days? (especially if your work email follows you on your phone). 2. Chances are, if you are a decision-maker, people will simply wait for your return to get things done. I mean, it's only a week, it can wait, right? Which brings me to: 3. If you are a people leader, it's imperative that you are empowering people on your team to step in for you when you are away. It's good for you, AND it's good for them. Isn't that what people development is all about?? Which brings me to my last point. Apologies for any offense, but... 4. Get over yourself, you're not that important. If you have created an environment where things will fall apart if you are away, you've done a disservice to yourself and everyone around you. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Have you taken long periods of time away from work for vacation? What can you start doing now to make it possible in the future? Does anyone out there take more than 3 weeks at a time? What tips can you share with others?
