#35 - Why Vacation Can Help You Achieve Your Goals|Leadership Espresso Shot #3 - a podcast by Tanveer Naseer

The arrival of summer-like weather often leads not only to people spending more time outdoors, shaking off the dreariness of the winter months, but also discussions and planning of summer vacation breaks and spending time with family and friends away from work. Or at least it used to be.



Every year, there's another study that comes out pointing out how employees are taking less and less time off from work. This year, for example, there was a study that found that only 28% of US employees plan to use all their vacation days, and 4% plan on taking none. And another study by Glassdoor found that 66% of employees admitted that they do work while on vacation.



While there are many benefits that we can gain from going on vacation, a study done by researchers at Wharton reveals why taking time off work can help us achieve our goals for this year.It's an idea I explore in this latest episode of my podcast feature, Leadership Espresso Shot, which are short, quick listens that pack a powerful leadership lesson or insight that you can put into action right away to improve the way you lead going forward.



These segments are based on some of the lessons and actionable advice I share with leaders who attend my keynotes or corporate training sessions, so in addition to giving you some important insights and ideas to consider, they also give you a glimpse into what I offer through these types of speaking and training engagements.If you didn't catch the previous ones, you can stream them as well as past episodes of my podcast - as well as find the show notes for all episodes on our Leadership Biz Cafe podcast page.

Finally, I’d appreciate it if you could subscribe, rate, and comment about my show on your preferred podcasting streaming platform to help continue to support this show.And with that, please do check out this latest episode. If you're debating over whether to take a vacation break at any time this year, I'd like to encourage you to take 16 minutes of your time to listen to this episode and discover the connection science has shown exists between taking time off work and our ability to achieve the goals we set out to attain this year.
