A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

The Keys to Thriving During Holidays

Christmas may be done and dusted for another year, but it won’t be all that long before we’re in the middle of another holiday. Easter isn’t too far away, after all. Plus, there are always those birthdays and other events which can feel like a holiday. While holidays can be fun and enjoyable, there’s always a chance that things go a little off-piste and end up not being quite as fun as they could be. While this isn’t always avoidable, there are normally things you can do that’ll ensure you can thrive throughout the whole holiday rather than just on day one!

Make a Plan

It’s easy to just think that everything will take care of itself once you’re off work and everyone is together. However, while that attitude will take care of the first day or two, by day three, you may be scraping the barrel for things to do. It’s a good idea to have a loose plan for all the things that you’d like you and your family to do during the holidays. Maybe you could have a nice dinner one day, a nice walk in nature another, and visit extended family on another? The plan doesn’t have to be set in stone, but it’ll help to give the holidays some shape.

Wrap Up Everything Beforehand 

If there’s one thing that’ll dampen your enjoyment of a holiday, it’s worrying that you have a lot of work to return to. Or, even worse, having to do work when you should be relaxing. It might be difficult, but it’s recommended to try to wrap up as much work as possible before you finish work for the holiday, even if it means working a bit longer than usual. This won’t just benefit the days you spend with your family but will also allow you to return to work fully refreshed once you’re back in the office.

Set Up Entertainment

Even if you do have some things planned for the time you’re off work, there’ll still be plenty of downtime. And that can be exhausting if you continually have to come up with ways to entertain your children. As such, it’s a good idea to do some prep beforehand, so you always have some entertainment to fall back on when there’s nothing else to do. There are plenty of Christmas and Easter movies for kids that will help to keep them entertained during those holidays, for instance. If it’s not a religious holiday, then simply having a list of family-friendly movies or board games will do the trick.

Get Everyone Involved

You’ll be wishing for life to get back to normal as soon as possible if you’re the only one putting in any effort and doing all the work. So make sure that everyone is pitching in. After all, holidays are a time for families to come together, and it’s not far that just one or two people should be in charge of everything! Share the responsibility, and it’ll all be easier — and there’ll be fewer arguments, too.
