He creates boundaries between his work life and home life, and makes sure he allocates time to pursue his hobby; caring for his cactus garden. Alice Eliot, president of executive search firm Alice Elliot Assoc. which specializes within the Hospitality and Foodservice industry lets go of work stress by empowering others thru delegation, and giving them every opportunity to improve themselves. Surrounding herself with outstanding people means she doesnât have to do everything herself. Even with running eight offices across the country, Elliot takes time to jog four times a week. Deborah Hollis, Exec. VP of Shoneys doesnât go into the office on Saturdays and Sundays. While some people donât want to take work home, she prefers that to staying late in the office. She can be with her family and have more control of her time.. ăExercise, and include family and personal time in your daily schedule,ä Hollis advises. Frank Guidara, CEO of Wolfgang Puck Foods, takes time with his family and integrates work into his whole life. His hobby is even food related; wine tasting.
