If you know that you’re going to be out of office for a long time, it’s worth thinking about redirecting your clients to your colleague.

And I was contacting them because they had messed up somehow, it would land very badly.
Right?! If it’s a 3 day retreat, that’s one thing. But not being around for an hour or two shouldn’t be any kind of BIG DEAL.
