- It’s amazing for creativity and innovation. Wonder why your big ideas come to you when you’re away from your desk? Without constant interruptions, deadline pressures and team commitments, you’re able to open your mind and let the thoughts flow.
- It’s an invaluable time to press the reset button. Family and leisure time can be just the antidote we need after a busy year. It’s time to re-attune ourselves with what matters in life and get our balance back.
- This is a wonderful opportunity to check in with yourself. With your focus on something other than work, you’re able to step back and assess your professional and personal goals. Do they still align with your values? When you’re working long hours, it can be easy to lose touch with meaning and fulfilment.
- It’s building everyone else up too. By supporting your team’s health and wellbeing, you show you value their skills, impact and commitment.
- Come back refreshed and see your strategy anew. Yes, January is still the middle of winter but with the new year come new opportunities. Think about what you’ve learned this year, what you’d like to achieve in the next and how you’re going to get there. What do your people need from you?
