And of course, storms are flying across the Midwest, disrupting their plans and your day.Or, maybe everyone arrives safely, but you get a phone call from a client asking for help regarding their room, because concierge is doing zilch. Maybe the room category doesn't match from travel docs to the front's desk's info, or the room is sub-par, and their request to move has been denied....And you feel like somehow, all of these things are your fault. Welcome to Day 177 of the Travel Agency in a Year podcast, and today, Rachel K discusses how travel advisors can protect their mental health during peak travel seasons by separating their personal mood from client logistical emergencies. She outlines a "60-Second Circuit Breaker" protocol to turn stressful situations into manageable tasks, allowing advisors like you to maintain calm authority and prevent burnout while scaling their businesses.
