Best trick for maintaining the personal-professional life balance?

Learning when to say no, trust your team and delegate what you can to help maintain balance, without losing sight your team also is working and looking for balance.  Know with confidence when you can or cannot obligate yourself to an initiative whole heartedly.  Insure that goals for your team and for yourself include balance.

When not in the office, where are we most likely to find you? 

Most likely outdoors, hiking, camping, fishing etc… or antiquing and exploring Colorado and American History.
