On average, Europeans get more than twice as much vacation days as Americans do. As if that were not bad enough, Europeans are much better at actually relaxing while on holiday than we are. Corporate consultant Serena Williamson says it’s time Americans caught up on their “vacation imbalance” by relearning what it means to truly get away and refresh themselves.

Book Serena now at the start of the summer season to explore with your audience:

• How to leave work at work where it belongs.

• Why you should keep your vacation plans secret from your coworkers or failing that, train coworkers to leave you alone while you are away.

• What it really means if you are counting down the days and minutes until your vacation (and what you should do about it).

• Ways a vacation can rejuvenate you.

• The self-check you should perform before you return to work—especially if you dread going back.
