For those of us who travel frequently, how do you balance being present on vacation while still providing excellent service to clients? Have you found any systems, habits, or boundaries that actually work? Headed to Spain with wife for our 10th year anniversary.

I do quarterly newsletter and would include the info on that, and have the out of office on your email say that ss well. anyone who gets upset you are travelling for an anniversary is toxic and can leave IMO.
If you travel a lot, then checking email and such once a day is an easy thing to do. I will take my laptop and phone and login once a day and allow up to one hour to respond as needed.

Exactly! Thank you!

Be transparent with your communication when you are travelling without giving too much away. Whether you're travelling for business or pleasure doesn't matter, but how open your communication is, does.

They didn’t give industry but this looks like retail store financials when they are a software company....
