Relationship Building
Staying connected when summer schedules scatter
Vacations and travel interrupt routines. Simple ways to keep executive relationships warm in July and August.

The takeaway
Short, personal check-ins and one or two summer gatherings keep relationships warm until the autumn season.
Expect gaps
Many leaders travel in summer, so fewer people are available at once. That is normal and does not mean relationships are fading.
Light-touch ideas
Small actions keep you in mind.
- A brief note when you see relevant news.
- An invitation to a summer outing.
- A post-vacation catch-up call.
Plan for September
Use quieter weeks to plan autumn gatherings and invitations.
