Carla Mauro, Chris Breikss and Caroline Clapham on staying connected to work even when they're away. Carla Mauro, VP, Nintendo of Canada Ltd. “If it’s a hot business time and I need to stay current, I will. I feel like I don’t have an option, but I also don’t have any regrets. At my level that’s part of the requirement, part of the expectation, and I like to stay on top of what’s happening. I’ve incurred some pretty large roaming charges while on vacation.”

“I try not to because it puts me in a bad mood and I get stressed out. If I can’t disconnect, it’s hard to relax. But there’s always something to do, so I have a system. When I’m on the move at the airport gate, I check all my messages, and when the plane lands, I respond. Then I leave it alone.”
“Absolutely. Staying connected is crucial to being competitive in my industry. I try to arrange my holidays for those times of the year that are characteristically less busy in my practice, but I am notorious for being connected to my iPhone. I checked my messages on the top of Kilimanjaro.
