The Sabbatical Journey: A Double Launch That Could Transform Your Life & Leadership

We’ve been holding this one close, and it’s finally time to share the big news...

After years of coaching hundreds of leaders through sabbaticals—and taking a few ourselves—we’re beyond thrilled to announce a double launch that we believe could change how leaders rest, recover, and re-enter their work with purpose.

In this episode, Alan and Jonathan unveil:

• The Sabbatical Journey Field Guide — a beautifully designed, practical, anti-book book that walks you step-by-step through your sabbatical.

• The Sabbatical Journey Learning Experience — a self-paced, story-rich, coaching-informed digital journey for those who want transformation without the 1-on-1 coaching price tag.

If you’re a leader (or know a leader) who’s curious about sabbatical, overwhelmed by the idea, or already mid-journey but feeling a little lost—this episode is your invitation to breathe, recalibrate, and take a next step into one of the most meaningful investments you’ll ever make.

This isn’t just theory. It’s the best of what we’ve learned after guiding leaders through deeply personal sabbatical seasons—and what we’ve lived ourselves.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why sabbatical is essential (and not just a long vacation)

• The top mistakes leaders make when going into sabbatical

• What’s inside The Sabbatical Journey field guide—and why it’s not a traditional book

• How the new learning experience bridges the gap between content and coaching

• How to use these tools with your board, team, or organization to normalize and implement sabbatical culture

• What it really looks like to return from sabbatical reoriented, not just rested
