It would have been easy to say "no sorry, I can't go"
Not because I didn't want to. But because there is always a reason not to.
A client to prep for. Sales calls. Away on the road. Something that felt more urgent than stepping away.
And that's exactly why I needed to go and made the commitment.
I got back yesterday afternoon from 36 hours at The Work VACAYTM, a framework designed to give business owners and leaders uninterrupted time to think, reset, and actually work on their business instead of just in it. Karine Parthenais is the absolute legend behind this framework that has completely transformed my mindset on work and life.
I'm genuinely grateful I said yes (and that I was invited 😅)
I'm not just grateful for the clarity I walked away with, though that was real and significant. But for the reminder that stepping back isn't the same as falling behind. That the 'thinking' I keep putting off matters just as much as the 'delivering' I never stop doing.
We are so conditioned to keep moving.
To equate rest with laziness. Space with unproductivity. Pausing with losing ground.
But some of the most important work I've done for my business happened in those 36 quiet hours.
If there's something like this on your radar, a 36-hour retreat, a day away, even an afternoon with your phone in a drawer. I want to encourage you to say yes to it.
You're not behind. You're not too busy. You're exactly the person who needs it most.
If you're interested in learning more, I HIGHLY recommend checking out the video series on the site https://theworkvacay.com/pages/teams-organizations-video-series
What a great resource for you as a leader, and an incredible resource for your team.
