❗️THIS IS A COMPANY BENEFIT❗️ Why? ➡️ working from a different country is not possible in every job or company ➡️ your employer might be taking risks to make working from a different country possible for you So here I am, on a beach in south of Spain, having dinner after a normal day of work. 🌊☀️🇪🇸 While I was working from Spain last week, here are a couple of things, that I considered: 💡Clear communication: I openly & clearly communicate my workation plans to my supervisor and team as early as possible (at least 4 weeks before) 💡 Workspace: I assess my workplace situation regarding wifi, table, chair & privacy before I leave for my workation. When travelling with the car I consider to take a 2nd screen with me 💡 Stay connected: I actively reach out to my colleagues and am ready to jump on a call whenever we need to talk while on workation 💡 Flexibility: Priorities and schedules can change unexpectedly and therefore I make sure to keep my workation plans as flexible as possible What are your tips to make this benefit a great one for everyone, the business, your team & yourself? 🧐 Thanks GotPhoto.com | fotograf.de for making this benefit possible! 💙

Opposites attract! Today I'm off to Germany for my best friend's birthday and I'm VERY EXCITED! She and I are very different but we have a friendship that's spanned decades and countries. I'm at the airport and I'm thinking about how we make it work despite being so different and I think it comes down to three things: 1. We have complimentary preferences and skills that means she's great at sending voice notes and keeping in touch and I'm great at organising and booking flights for face-to-face time (I rarely call anyone just for a chat...except my Dad...who also doesn't call people for chats...) 2. Understanding and forgiveness: We don't hear from each other for ages, and we communicate differently and we know it's ok. We have made really different lives but we still try to understand them and we create a space in the middle that's just for the two of us. 3. Effort and consistency: We see each other about 4 times a year if we can because that's what we said we'd try to do when we ended up in different countries. It takes effort and planning but to keep something worthwhile going, that's what you've got to do. These sound a lot like my tips for building diverse teams so I suppose that's what we are and I couldn't be prouder that we're still great mates ❤️ Photo is from when we got tattoos together in Barcelona!

8️⃣ days until the 6th edition of a very international #OutdoorOfficeDay For all of those who ask us: am I too late to participate? The answer is no, of course not. Taking work outdoors, reconnecting with the surrounding nature and being active during our workdays should be something we do each day. And the easiest way to active this is walking our meetings. But please start on June 13th: - add a ‘walking meeting #weeting’ slot in your calendar - invite a colleague, business partner or stakeholder, or your whole team  - choose a topic to brainstorm about or a problem to solve while walking together  - walking is the answer: choose a short walk in nature in your neighbourhood or be more adventurous and plan a longer walking route - share your experience, upload a great image and tag us #OutdoorOfficeDay - enjoy your walking meetings and the great outdoors! https://lnkd.in/d7qRWHY

🏅The Personal Assistant Olympics: A Day in the Life🏅 Hey everyone! With the Olympic Games in full swing, I couldn’t help but notice the striking similarities between the athletes and us personal assistants. Here’s a fun look at how our daily tasks match up with some Olympic events: 🏃♀️ The Meeting Marathon: "Ever feel like you're running a marathon from one meeting to the next? Forget track and field, we’ve got the ultimate endurance test right here in the office!" 🏋️♂️ The Coffee Juggle: "Balancing coffee cups, laptops, and phones like a pro weightlifter. Every morning, I set a new personal best!" 📧 The Email Sprint: "Clearing out 1000+ emails faster than a 100m dash. Inbox zero? More like Inbox hero!" 🤹♂️ The Multitasking Decathlon: "Booking flights, scheduling appointments, and ordering lunch all at once. Who needs a decathlon when you’ve got a day in the life of a PA?" 🔧 The Tech Troubles Vault: "Leaping over tech hurdles like a seasoned vaulter. Printer jams, Wi-Fi drops, computer crashes – bring it on! #TechWoes" 📝 The Unexpected Requests Relay: "Passing the baton from one surprise task to another. Need to find a llama for a photo shoot, a last-minute gift, and a dinner reservation? Consider it done!" ☕ The End-of-Day Cool Down: "Finally kicking back with a cup of tea and reflecting on the day’s victories. Every day ends with a gold medal in perseverance and humor!" To all my fellow personal assistants out there, you’re the real MVPs! 🥇 Keep shining and making it look effortless. #PersonalAssistantLife #WorkHumor #OfficeOlympics #GoForGold

In 2 weeks I’ll be back in Spain for 12 days. A honeymoon of sorts. I am often asked, "How do you balance work and life while travelling for big events?" Here's what I've learnt over the years: 1. Plan: Know your event schedule inside out. 2. Prioritise: Focus on what matters most—work and personal life. 3. Delegate: Trust your team to handle what you can't. 4. Take time for yourself: Even with a packed schedule, carve out moments to recharge. Balancing work and life isn’t about managing your time—it’s about managing your energy. Remember, a well-rested mind is your greatest asset. Where is your next trip? P.S. Message me if you're juggling event work and personal commitments. Happy to share more tips! P.P.S. 5 event managers have already booked me for September. You can start the conversation with a DM.

The Importance of Truly Being Out of Office 💫💫💫 My recent vacation to Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷 was both rejuvenating and enjoyable! I have to admit, I usually find myself working on my laptop even when I’m out of the office. However, this time, I’m proud to share that I made a concerted effort to be fully present during my trip. It was a much-needed change that allowed me to truly unwind and savor every moment. To make the most of your out-of-office time, consider these tips: ✅ Unplug Completely: Turn off work notifications and avoid checking emails. ✅ Delegate and Communicate: Ensure your Clients/ Colleagues/ Community knows who to contact in your absence and what constitutes an emergency. ✅ Set Clear Boundaries: Communicate your out-of-office dates and emphasize that you won't be available during this period. Let's prioritize our well-being and truly disconnect when we’re out of office. Your future self will thank you! 💗 #WorkLifeBalance #PrioritizeYourself

If you really want to be successful and you really want to be happy, don't have a job, have a purpose. When you've got a purpose, the 🌎whole world is your office. ~Paulo Coelho Working on a laptop from anywhere in the world can be incredibly fun and fulfilling. Imagine traveling to new and exciting places, soaking in different cultures, all while staying productive with your laptop (have WiFi, will travel). Yes, you can embrace a laptop lifestyle and travel freely, but the key is to take your laptop out of its case and actually get to work at your chosen destination! t’s not just about the adventure; it’s about the freedom to visit family, friends, and especially enjoy precious moments with grandkids. This flexibility allows you to blend work and play seamlessly, creating memories and experiences that a traditional office job could never offer.
