Cady North - The Art of Sabbatical

Standard Deviations with Dr. Daniel Crosby

Tune in to hear:

• Did Cady’s recent book, The Art of the Sabbatical, come from a place that was very personal and meaningful to Cady? If so, what was it that made this project so personal for her?
• In Cady’s experience, are many of those hoping to take a sabbatical doing so to just take a break from work or are they in search of a deeper, transformative end goal?
• How should one start to think about the financial realities of preparing for a sabbatical and how will they know when they’re ready?
• Is there an optimal length of time, on average, for a sabbatical to be?
• What would Cady say to someone who fears using FMLA, for reasons of burnout, for fear of stigma or a reputational shift at their place of work?
• Why is there such a big stigma around taking breaks from work? Where did the paradigm come from that we should work for decades and then have decades of leisure, rather than a more integrated process of taking breaks throughout our working life?
• What are a couple fundamental do’s and don’ts of putting together a successful sabbatical?
• What can be done to minimize career harm upon re-entry post sabbatical?
• Are there any stories from Cady’s clients’ lives that illustrate really transformative experiences that happened over a sabbatical?
• For those with a few weeks vacation time, what might be a productive way of thinking about how to best use that time?
