It’s understandable… it can be grueling… I cope with it by taking the 19th to the 5th off… gives me plenty of time to do all the holiday tasks… my team can get ahold of me while I’m off, and I’ll check email… but I’m not actively prospecting…
And I try to pay it forward… my assistants work half days each when I’m away, one from 8AM - 12PM and one from 1PM - 5PM… I let my junior advisor work from 10AM - 3PM… and most of my senior staff are off from the same time period, and I give them the freedom to delegate and manage their support staff however they want…
Happy Holidays!

My assistants and junior… they can do whatever they want… but as a general rule, if I’m in the office, my expectation is for them to be in the office… if I’m out of the office, it’s at their discretion… but I don’t want to hear about calls being missed or emails not being answered… then we have to have a conversation about work posture… fortunately I’ve never had to…
My senior advisors… again… it’s their business, their clients, their practice… they can do whatever they want… as long as we’re fulfilling commitments, and they’re at plan…
It's a gauntlet when you've got kids. There's so much to do to try to make the season special for them. I love every bit of it, don't get me wrong, but man am I frazzled trying to juggle it all on top of work and all my normal adult obligations.

How do you handle it with children? I’m stressed and I just have dogs
I've taken an extended break from work with my little one, and even without a full time day job, I still can't find the time to get stuff done. I have no idea how you working mamas pull it all off!
Right?! It’s getting more and more difficult it seems

It is very difficult to manage everything. This year i took some off for holidays in order to spend time with my family
That’s a great idea… hope you enjoy the time off!!
It’s difficult but I try to think about missing these times when I’m older and the chaotic-ness of it all
