A dear friend and I were recently analyzing the reasons that some out-of-town business trips can generate great memories with work colleagues who already are, or because of the trip, become great friends.
Many of us have countless opportunities to visit with work colleagues in the office, at luncheons and after work events. When we're at home, each of these sessions comes to a natural conclusion, with each of us returning to the demands of daily responsibilities - job, family and community. When we are out of town, these normal daily demands are temporarily suspended. Those great conversations can continue without detriment to other responsibilities.
We owe it to ourselves, and those we hold dear, to create some less time-bounded opportunities to let our conversations morph as they can when our daily responsibilities are distant.
