Reasons why I am a big advocate of impromptu vacations/breaks

By Peter Sorgenfrei · Founder and CEO coach · 70 founders and CEOs coached across 15 countries

I’m going on vacation tomorrow: a week on Lanzarote with my son, surfing, playing sports, hanging out, and hopefully getting a bit of sun.

I am a big advocate of impromptu vacations/breaks, so I would encourage you to consider how you can get more of them in your life. It does not have to cost a fortune, and the time and financial investment is very well worth it.

Some reasons for why you should consider doing so, are included in this video.

New for December: The December Homecoming. Ten weeks, one to one, for 3 founders who want to go into the new year rested and home for dinner. Applications close Friday 27 November.
