Sabbatical Coaching

We provide sabbatical coaching that offers extensive care and guidance for leaders who are able to enter a significant break from their official responsibilities. Many pastors and leaders are offered one to three months of a break to address their personal needs and gain meaningful rest and renewal. Our experience shows it is often difficult for persons to enter into rest, especially at the onset of a sabbatical. Because, for many people, our jobs are so demanding, our minds become addicted to being “busy-brained.” Leaders are used to constantly thinking, planning, connecting, strategizing, and anticipating what should be done. An extended break allows them to engage in meaningful rest, recalibration and then a thoughtful reentry back into their leadership responsibilities. We help leaders develop self-clarity through the use of the Enneagram and processing their story and then enter sabbatical by caring for their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs through weekly coaching. We find that by engaging in this sabbatical process with ongoing coaching leaders more fully experience meaningful renewal and growth that addresses their most critical needs.

Steps to Prepare for a Sabbatical

1. Schedule a planning meeting (initial conversation) with a coach

2. Discuss the parameters of a sabbatical with work or ministry (may include significant boundaries around technology and communication as well as needed delegation to secure the space)

3. Discuss your expectations for sabbatical with significant others (spouse, children, etc... )

4. Schedule an Enneagram consultation (six-hour with both client and spouse / 3-hour consult with single or without spouse)

5. Schedule the approximately nine coaching sessions during the sabbatical
