People often lose motivation in the summer, but it’s actually the best time of year to reenergize your career, says impact coach Katie Sandler.

The summer slump is in full swing. Going on vacation is one way to hit the reset button, but Sandler says there are several other things you can do to recharge your career. Here are four to consider putting on your summer schedule.

  1. Broaden Your Short-Term Thinking. Think about your long-term goals and create an action list you can apply now or later in the year.
  2. Reinforce Your Skills. Summer’s slower pace is a good time to sign up for classes and training sessions for personal and professional transformation. Click HERE for a selection of classes from Learning & Organization Development.
  3. Grow Your Network. Summer is a good time to make new connections or strengthen existing ones.
  4. Practice Self-Care. Working long hours can take a toll on your health. Use the summer to take care of yourself.

Summer is the perfect time to regain your focus, reenergize your attitude, and get clear on where you’re headed in the future.
