Focused Sabbatical Support in a One-Hour Session

Work one-on-one to clarify a specific sabbatical challenge, whether you’re planning or already on leave.

Make meaningful progress in just one session

Get clarity and direction in a single, focused hour. This session is designed to help you work through one specific sabbatical-related question or decision, such as:

  • Reviewing or refining a sabbatical proposal before submission
  • Strategic input on travel and location choices to support your sabbatical goals
  • Navigating a challenge mid-leave, such as shifting priorities or adjusting expectations
  • Making sense of burnout or uncertainty, and identifying a constructive next step

Getting started is simple: book your session and complete a brief form so we can hit the ground running. During the session, we’ll focus on your specific priorities. Afterwards, I’ll provide a concise summary with actionable steps to maintain momentum.

I’ve navigated this path before


I’ve planned academic leaves with an aim to make them meaningful, manageable, and aligned with personal and professional goals. Drawing on lived experience, professional expertise, and extensive travel – including navigating foreign paperwork and logistical considerations – I can help you design a sabbatical that brings clarity, purpose, and momentum to your work and life.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Sabbatical Strategy Hour is for anyone preparing for (or already on) sabbatical. It’s also ideal if you’re designing a pseudo-sabbatical or self-directed academic break.

That said, I also welcome people from academic-adjacent or other fields who are curious about intentional time away and reflection.

This session focuses on a specific sabbatical question or challenge. If you’re looking for holistic support before, during, and after your sabbatical, consider one-on-one support.

Not at all. In fact, a Sabbatical Strategy Hour can be a great first step if you’re looking for support in getting your sabbatical planning started with goal setting or logistics support.

More than you might expect! This isn’t a vague session – it’s structured time for you to make planning progress on a particular challenge or question. You’ll leave with a clear summary and an actionable plan.

Sabbatical Strategy Hour is designed to address a specific sabbatical question or challenge. You may leave with everything you need, or you may decide you want additional support. If so, you can book another focused session or transition into full sabbatical coaching at a prorated rate.

If your sabbatical or informal leave involves research, writing, or professional development, you can often use institutional funds. I can provide formal documentation to support your request if needed.

Yes. This is a private conversation where you can talk through questions, goals, or challenges related to sabbatical planning and/or academic renewal. I treat everything you share (professional or personal) with discretion. I do not discuss client names, situations, or details with anyone.
