No, there is no such obligation. Here we cover skills and approach for life.
Then you do not. You are not required to take leave during or after the course. Either way, you will learn about your needs and dreams, and how to integrate them into your everyday life.
Per meeting, expect 10-15 participants. The course will start with a minimum of 6 participants.
Yes, in this case it does. The idea is that you can already start making concrete plans and start arranging your sabbatical leave. But probably you will not leave within these 6 months – you might need to take care of bureaucracy first.
The road might be bumpy, and that is why we’re there: to answer your questions and support your process.
If you’re only interested in specific modules, that’s also possible.
I suggest you only join if you can attend at least 5 out of 6 sessions. If you'd like to plan your sabbatical now anyway, I suggest 1:1 sessions. Let's discuss in a discovery call!
No, you do not need a concrete fixed idea. But a general idea of the budget and the time is necessary. For instance, what do you want to focus on? creative expression, travelling, attending a course etc. If you’re not sure it fits, let's discuss in quick call.
No, you can join from everywhere, as long as the hours suit you. However, keep in mind that legal regulation (employee rights) might not be applicable in your country. Here, we take Germany as a basis.
In this case, some of the practical tips do not apply to you. I suggest joining specific modules. Let’s get on a call to discuss what works for you best.
This is not in the scope of this course. We will discuss ideas of financing your trip, building a budget, reducing your fixed costs etc. However, you will not receive advise on investments or passive income.
For Multi-Day packages, cancellation is only possible until 2 May, as the seats are booked on a first-come-first-serve basis. If you cancel after the official registration deadline, you are taking away someone else's seat.
For single modules, you can cancel up to 2 weeks before the session for 100% refund.
While everyone is welcome to join, some people would not be able to benefit from the course. Therefore if any of the following statements is true for you, the course is most probably not for you.
If you want start your leave ASAP.
If you quit your job to start your sabbatical.
If there is an established sabbatical-scheme at your work.
If you want to take the sabbatical with your kids or during your parental leave.
I suggest you join one of my free online Career Break Q&A sessions!
