I am thrilled to share the thoughts of our first Three For Thursday guest... Mahasin El-Amin. I had the great privilege to meet Mahasin when she became a team captain in the American Odyssey Relay.

Mahasin then became an AOR Ambassador and helped us to get the word out about the race. A few months back I was a poll watcher for Mahasin in Bowie, MD as she ran (and won!) in the Prince George’s County primary election for Clerk of the Circuit Court.

For Mahasin’s Three For Thursday (and One For The Road) please read on...

Apparently, some professionals are so addicted to working 24/7 that employers are paying them extra to take vacation, according to a post in the Boston Globe. Here are five reasons why taking a proper vacation — not a working vacation, not an errand-filled staycation — actually enhances your career:

How many times have warm summer days beckoned you to abandon the office — to call in sick, take a mental health day, and high-tail it to the park or the beach? This time of year, the temptation to slack at work is real. Those colleagues you see taking extra-long lunches to soak up the sun aren’t mirages. And joining them can be very, very tempting.

But (and you knew there was a ‘but’ coming, didn’t you?) summer slacking can be a career killer. If you have your eyes on a promotion, raise, or any type of career advancement, the warm months times to lay low — rather, they’re when you should go above and beyond in your role and show your bosses what you’re really made of.

Summer can be a good time to get ahead and show your boss what you're made of while your colleagues all sneak out early.

Considering leaving your current job or retiring? Whether you are 30 or 60, here are some ideas for figuring out your next move .

● Get over the ego thing. If you define yourself by what you do professionally, it will be more difficult to switch careers.

● Don’t be afraid.

● If you are quitting for good, have a plan, even if it’s a loose one. Will you travel? Spend more time gardening or bicycling or enjoying a hobby? Take a part-time job? Or spend more time with the grandchildren? If you’re like most people, after you have retired for a while, you start to ask yourself, “How did I do everything I did before retirement?” Because your life is so full.

● Stay connected to people and build in something active to keep your mind and body vital: walking, volunteering, mentoring, eating well, etc.

● Don’t be foolish. It’s important to push beyond your comfort zone but play within your limits. I was fortunate to have a spouse who was still working and who supported my desire to try something completely different, which turned out to be organizing footraces.

● Whatever you do, don’t sit and rock and wither away. Studies show sitting for long periods of time is the worst thing you can do for your health, as bad as smoking. This is a time in life to get out of your comfort zone — not get into it. Stick your neck out if you want a rich and stimulating retirement. Do things you’ve never done before. Scare yourself. Make mistakes. Refuse to be perfect but insist on being the You you never could be.
