I’m a travel advisor on the side and I have private, early access to the Vatican, the Colosseum and other spots! DM me and I’d be happy to help.

I plan my own trips also. I enjoy the plan

Even though you don’t want to solicit vendors, M1’s advice is good. Semi private skip the line tours (Vatican museum, coliseum and forum, and Ostia Antica) are well worth it if you have the budget. There are many vendors. I like the ones that are small groups (6 or less) and led by people who have actually studied what you are touring. I would not go to the Vatican museum without a semi private tour.

Don’t do the Vatican without a tour guide OP. You will be overwhelmed.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Ideas please:

I’m inheriting a “team” of siloed strong individual developers who are on different work streams and are very jaded and struggling with motivation. Most are contractors. They have legit gripes about the client, but I won’t be able to solve those without getting cross-discussions going with knowledge-sharing across our “team“. Any suggestions for remote team-building that won’t just be shrugged off with cynicism, or worse, ignored?

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
