What if you stepped away from work. Not for a week. Long enough that the constant hum finally goes quiet. Long enough that you stop reaching for your phone. Long enough to remember what you used to love doing before life filled up. For most leaders, that idea creates two reactions at once: deep longing, and total panic. Longing for the rest. Panic at the thought of an open stretch of time and no clear sense of what to do with it. That's the gap this episode fills. Alan Briggs walks through the six elements that turn a sabbatical from "extended time off" into something that actually changes how you lead, how you live, and who you are when you come back. If you've ever quietly wondered whether you need a sabbatical, or wondered what one would even look like, this is the conversation that makes it concrete. Who this episode is for If you've never seriously considered a sabbatical but the word keeps catching your attention. If you know you're running on fumes and you're starting to wonder if a vacation isn't going to be enough this time. If you're a pastor, executive, or leader and the idea of stepping away for an extended season sounds amazing and impossible in equal measure. If you've already started planning a sabbatical and you're stuck on the "but what would I actually do" question. This one is for you. What you'll take away The six elements that shape a meaningful sabbatical (recreation, rest, reconnection, relocation, relationships, and resources) and why missing any one of them leaves the experience hollowWhy the projects and hobbies you take on during sabbatical have to be a "get to," never a "have to," and how to tell the differenceWhat rest really means in this context, and why it's not just sitting on the couchThe kind of reconnection with God and with people that most leaders haven't experienced in years, the kind with no agenda and no outcomeWhy relocation doesn't require a plane ticket, and how even a 30-minute drive can shift your perspectiveHow to make a "get-to" relationships list (instead of a "have-to" list of donors, clients, or congregants) and use sabbatical as the rare invitation to actually call your people inA practical look at what sabbatical actually costs and the resources that make or break the experience, including why most leaders shouldn't attempt this without a coach Quotes worth sitting with "Make sure it's a get-to, not a have-to." "Change of pace plus change of place equals change of perspective." "You don't have to have an extravagant sabbatical for it to be an amazing sabbatical." "Sabbatical coaching isn't an expense. It's an investment." Reflection questions If you had an extended stretch with no work obligations, what's the first thing that would come up in you (excitement, anxiety, guilt, all three)? What does that reveal about where you are right now? What's the difference, in your own life, between rest you've earned and rest you've actually received? If you were honest about your current pace, how long could you sustain it before something has to give?
