Sabbatical Coaching and Mentoring

Want a break but don't want to jeopardize your career?

The word Sabbatical comes from the word "Shabbat", meaning to rest. It is usually associated with taking a break from work and like your Coach, Juliette and thousands of others, you can too.

Sabbatical Coaching or Mentoring will guide you to make real, that long held break from routine that you dream about to re-charge, re-define and re-inspire your professional and personal journey.

  As your Coach, Juliette has had the privilege of spending approximately 2.5 years of her life overseas on short and long sabbaticals and between career moves, she also escaped for months at a time, taking the total time off to nearly 4 years without damaging her career prospects.

More importantly, so can you.


 Who will benefit?

People who say things like:
"I really need a break, some time out to figure out what I'm doing with my life".

"Oh I've dreamed of living (painting, travelling, studying), overseas for awhile

 

 

 "I've always wanted to go on a pilgrimage there"

"One day I'll go climb that mountain, see the seven wonders, drink wine in a Tuscan villa"

Why not?

What could be better than escaping from the telephone and computer, the demands of everyone around us and getting back in touch with our bodies, our minds, our spirit and reassessing our priorities in a new environment?

Sounds pretty tempting. So what's stopping you? The common answers are time, money, and guilt"how could I just take time off?"

Yet most of us know, have read or heard of people who have done it and many of us have admired them.

The irony is that we say we never have enough time. Yet when it comes to our dreams, we convince ourselves we have all the time in the world.

     

Time for self

For some professionals, learning to be alone, can be a real challenge. Many of us surround ourselves with the noise of life and often thrive on the adrenalin of pressure. For some, the silence of being alone can be just too frightening to contemplate. What might you discover about yourself!

If you are ready, I'll work with you to explore what can be a very exciting and friendly inner journey.

Your Coach and Mentor

Your Sabbatical Coach and Mentor , Juliette, has juggled a senior corporate career with extensive travel to nearly 50 countries throughout her twenties and thirties. Alone or by organising adventures with friends or joining expeditions, she has backpacked, climbed 20,000 ft peaks, skippered bare boat yachts, scuba dived tropical waters, snow skied beautiful mountains, ridden jungle elephants, 4 wheel drived game parks, rafted white water, danced wildly. And if you want to go all the way, she knows about leaving the corporate world, selling the house, the car, putting everything in storage to go in search of whatever you need to find. She knows that the only difference between dreaming and doing is getting inspired to take the first step.

Our coaching and mentoring sessions will cover:

  • Unlocking your inspiring vision for that dream holiday, sabbatical, pilgrimage study challenge or adventure
  • What challenges you?
  • What might be lost if it never occurs? What might be gained?
  • Letting go of fear and standing in trust
  • Moving from doubt to self confidence
  • Taking calculated risks - safely
  • Creating an environment for change to occur
  • Finding the help you need
  • Planning to make it happen.

If being Coached you will experience a set number of 1 hour sessions at an agreed time over an agreed period of weeks to fit your budget and make your sabbatical dream a reality.

If Mentored, you contact your mentor on an 'as needs' basis, using up the agreed number of hours you pay for as and when you need assistance or advice for your sabbatical.
If you are ready to follow a long held escape dream, so are we.

diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made
all the difference."
Robert Frost



From

Turkish Delight by J Robertson




"Anchored off the coast of Marmaris Turkey 7.30pm:

 As the sky turns to crimson, it touches me. I close my eyes, enveloped by the warm breeze and the smell of the salty air. I am one with it all. All consciousness of family and friends, of past jobs, investments, plans and schemes are a lifetime away yet they have all lead me to this moment. Just I, the sea, the evening sunset and a peaceful spontaneity to life I have come to know.

I smile in surrender, feeling more alive and peaceful than I could ever remember.
