SABBATICAL DESIGN
LET’S DESIGN YOUR TIME AWAY.
I help you use the resources you have to plan a sabbatical that feels energizing and orienting so that you can take the time away from work you need to rest, explore and grow.
Why take a sabbatical?
We all need time and space to step back from the hustle, rest, relax and reconnect with what matters most to us. And sometimes, a vacation is not enough to do this. This is where sabbaticals come in.
Sabbaticals provide opportunities for intentional time away from work – to nourish and rejuvenate ourselves, to explore new possibilities and to grow personally and professionally.
Once upon a time, sabbaticals were the privileged domain of pastors, physicians and academics. After a period of intense teaching and ministering, institutions would offer their employees paid sabbaticals as an opportunity for rest, personal enrichment, and professional development.
Over the last ten years, sabbaticals have become more widespread and commonplace.
The COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis, inflation, and heightened political tensions at home and abroad has increased mental health concerns and employee burnout. Many of us are stepping back from the workforce in order to rest, reconsider and realign the foundational values and practices upon which we are building our lives and careers.
More and more businesses from finance to healthcare to tech are offering paid and unpaid sabbaticals to their employees as corporate incentives, wellness perks and antidotes to employee burnout.
How do you remain physically healthy, mentally well, and creatively engaged among the chaos and busyness of modern day life?
A sabbatical offers a powerful opportunity to explore your answers to this question.
