Jumpstart Your Academic Break in Just 60 Minutes

Your break deserves more than wishful thinking. Power Hour is a focused, one-on-one session designed to give you clarity, direction, and momentum – whether you’re planning a formal sabbatical, designing a self-directed renewal, or integrating focused reflection into your daily work.

Focused Support, Tangible Results

Make meaningful progress in just one session

Not everyone has the time, budget, or need for full coaching. Power Hour gives you clarity, direction, and momentum in a single focused session – whether you’re planning a formal sabbatical, designing a self-directed renewal, or already in a period of reflection and looking to refocus.

Getting started is simple: book your session and complete a brief form. Together, we’ll clarify your priorities and outline next steps tailored to your goals and stage of planning. Afterward, you’ll receive a concise written summary with clear actions to maintain your momentum.

I’ve navigated this path before


Sabbaticals can be transformative, but it’s easy to feel stuck or unsure where to start. I’ve planned my own breaks and helped scholars design leaves that are meaningful and manageable. In one focused hour, we’ll clarify your priorities, address your toughest questions, and walk away with a concrete plan aligned to your goals and timeline.

Yes. The Power Hour is a private conversation where you can talk through questions, goals, or challenges related to sabbatical planning and/or academic renewal.
