How long is each webinar?

Each webinar is 60 minutes total, including 45 minutes of teaching and 15 minutes for live Q&A. We respect your time—we start on time and end on time.

Will I get a recording if I can't attend live?

No, we don't record our webinars. We've found that when webinars are recorded, attendees are less engaged, less willing to ask vulnerable questions, and the conversation becomes one-way instead of interactive. Our goal is real, meaningful engagement—not passive content consumption. If you can't make this month's session, join us for next month's topic.

Is this specific to pastors, or can nonprofit leaders attend?

Our webinars serve both pastors and nonprofit leaders. We address sabbatical from multiple angles—personal renewal, organizational culture, team preparation, and leadership sustainability. The principles apply whether you lead a church, nonprofit, or mission organization.

What happens after I register?

You'll immediately receive a confirmation email with a calendar invite (compatible with Google, Outlook, Apple, and other calendars). We'll also send reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before the webinar with the Zoom link and any preparation suggestions.

Is there a cost to attend?

No, our monthly webinars are completely free. They're part of our mission to equip leaders to navigate sabbatical with confidence and wisdom.

Can I ask questions during the webinar?

Absolutely! We reserve the final 15 minutes for live Q&A, and you're welcome to submit questions via chat throughout the session. Our webinars are conversational, not one-way presentations.

Who leads the webinars?

Our webinars are led by our team of experienced sabbatical coaches. Each brings years of personal sabbatical experience and has guided dozens of leaders through this journey.

Demystifying Sabbaticals:
How Do I Talk With My Board or Supervisor About Sabbatical?

Date: February 11, 2026
Time: 12PM MST

This month's focus: navigating the vulnerable conversation with boards and supervisors about sabbatical.

Every month we walk through our proven Plan → Experience → Reorient framework—helping you understand what sabbatical is, why it matters, and how to design a sabbatical that actually restores you. Whether you join us in February or any other month, you'll get the complete framework.

But in February, we'll spend extra time on the conversation itself: How do you frame sabbatical to leadership? What do boards need to hear to say yes? What objections will surface, and how do you respond with wisdom and clarity?

In this session, you'll discover:

The foundational framework every leader needs (PREPARE, EXPERIENCE, REORIENT)
What sabbatical is—and isn't—and why it matters for sustainable leadership
How to design a sabbatical that fits your season (using the 6 R's: Recreation, Rest, Reconnect, Relocate, Relationships, Resources)
This month's deep dive: Practical language and frameworks for initiating sabbatical conversations with boards, supervisors, and stakeholders
Real questions to answer before approaching your leadership team
How to address common fears and objections with honesty and humility

Why attend live? You'll get live Q&A tailored to your specific situation, real-time peer insights, and our complete Sabbatical Roadmap worksheet to work through immediately.
