Welcome back to our ‘From the Vault’ series! I'm taking a short break from recording to fend off some growing burnout. In the meantime, I'm revisiting some of our favorite past episodes.
Whether you missed it the first time around or (like me) need to hear something a couple times for it to really sink in, we hope you enjoy this fantastic conversation with Ashleigh Martinez.
Ashleigh is the Manager of Employee Culture and Community Development at Creative Circle. As a show of appreciation for her ten year anniversary at Creative Circle, she was able to take a three-month sabbatical that taught her so much about herself and her relationship with work.
Our conversation was just what I needed to rethink my own relationship with work and ways that I can navigate it more honestly in 2023. I think it will have the same effect for you!
In this episode you’ll learn:
- What a sabbatical actually is and how it works at Creative Circle.
- The fears Ashleigh had to overcome to actually take a sabbatical.
- The MOST important aspect of successfully unplugging from work during a break.
- The sabbatical lessons Ashleigh learned and still applies now.
- What surprised her the most when she came back from sabbatical.
- The work boundaries that everyone should consider in 2023 - sabbatical or not.
- The BRILLIANT advice Ashleigh has for founders and people leaders.
