Turning a quiet week into a strategic advantage.
Even though Canadians don’t get U.S. Thanksgiving off, most feel the impact.American partners slow down. Inboxes quiet. Projects pause. Energy dips as the holidays get closer.
Smart leaders use this week intentionally.
✔ Reset priorities for December✔ Close the loop on decisions your team is waiting for✔ Clear blockers before partners return after the holiday✔ Create mental space for strategic thinking (rare in Q4)
A half-speed week is not a lost week.It’s an opportunity to get ahead.
