Beyonce recently returned to the music scene after taking a year off from touring. She explains in her latest commercial what she did for her year long break from the stage. She studied performances of all kinds. By the time she closed out the year of observing she was that much more ready to get out there and perform. She understands the importance of taking time to evaluate and observe, and for that we can learn from her.
Summer is a great opportunity to take time away from the office and do some site visits. Get out there and check out how other institutions are doing things. Go outside of higher education for inspiration. Maybe check out some of the festivals in the area for some event planning inspiration. Volunteer for a big race to get a sense of how its organized. All of these things may just spark some new ideas at a time of year when we can live in the moment more so than when the academic year is in full swing.
