BUSINESS BUZZ
BLENDING BUSINESS AND LEISURE Rachel Berg, lifestyle architect, is bringing a new experiential offering to St. Simons Island that blends business and leisure. As a Corporate Leadership Development Consultant, Rachel spent years working with executives as they struggled with the 24/7 nature of business. When “leisure time” was suggested they calculated the cost and lost productivity and groaned. From her own life, Rachel knew that the minute she got her toes in the sand her head seemed to clear and the right path would emerge. It was her secret formula. Rachel began to speculate, what if her executives could combine business and leisure? If they could work with a business consultant while on “island time?” Could leisure be built into a business success scenario? The solution emerged as The Lifestyle Sandbox, a place to find “island time” and consulting services.
