Are you travelling to escape your inbox, or are you travelling to reconnect with yourself?
For a long time, we’ve viewed holidays as a simple pause button from the daily grind. But there’s a powerful shift happening in how we take time off: learning on holiday is rapidly becoming the new way to travel.
International leadership and change expert Janice Elsley explores why the most profound personal and professional growth rarely happens in a boardroom. It happens when we finally step away.
As women balancing careers, families, and endless expectations, it is so easy to get caught in the cycle of burnout. We become so accustomed to over-functioning that we rarely stop to consider the toll it takes on our nervous system.
Janice shares a profound insight that deeply resonates with our community at Women Love Tech:
“People rarely transform because they are given more information. They transform when they finally have the space to integrate what they already know.”
The future of leadership won’t be built on constant performance. It requires reflection, restoration, and the courage to break the patterns that have kept us successful, but not always well. Changing our environment, like taking in the vast, grounding landscapes of New Zealand as Janice is planning (more details below), helps soften our defences and allows us to make decisions from a place of calm rather than pressure.
If you are feeling the weight of the juggle, I highly recommend reading Janice’s insights on why learning retreats are the ultimate leadership tool (and checking out her upcoming New Zealand retreat here!).
