From Reactive to Proactive: The Mindset Shift Every Travel Advisor Needs in 2026| EP 146
If your travel business feels chaotic, reactive, or “held together by hope and duct tape,” this episode is going to change everything.
In today’s conversation, Glenda breaks down one of the biggest themes she’s seen this year across coaching calls, advisor conversations, and industry shifts: the difference between running your business on defense versus running it on offense.
You’ll hear a personal story about a nonprofit board experience that became an unexpected mirror for what so many travel advisors are experiencing in their own businesses. And you’ll uncover why the solution isn’t to hustle harder but to slow down long enough to build the foundation that creates confidence, clarity, and growth.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re chasing the freight train instead of driving it, this episode will help you step back into leadership and set your business up to play on the offensive side of the field, where momentum actually builds and results multiply.
What you’ll learn:
• Why reactive businesses feel heavier, harder, and more chaotic
• The surprising reason many advisors burn out without realizing it
• How slowing down leads to faster and more sustainable growth
• What “offensive strategy” looks like in a travel business
• How to shift into clarity, control, and confidence
Perfect for travel advisors who want a business that feels steady, scalable, and strategic, not stressful.
