If both your own and your staff’s level of stress is so high, that you think a plain change of scenery would not be enough to restore your energy, then travel far from the madding crowd for a weekend to forget your toil. Invite your team to share in some precious peace and quiet: timeout, walks, informal dinners…
Want to express gratitude to a customer, congratulate your team, build up pluck for a major upcoming deadline… Then why not schedule a getaway trip ? It could be on a historical, sporting or culinary theme for example. A perfectly prepared blend between work and play will give you the opportunity to reinforce existing relationships and forge new ones.
During the hours, days or weeks, you spend in front of your computer screen, your chain of thought is constantly interrupted by phone calls, the progress of your on-going projects often hindered by untimely interruptions from your colleagues… It’s time to organise the occasional breakout ! Concentration and reflection will get you back to your usual creative selves in no time.
