This program is for academics who are planning to return to work after their sabbatical. If you've worked with me before, welcome back! If you've never worked with me, I'd love to help guide you through the re-entry process.

After you enroll in the program, I'll reach out to you to set a start date and you'll be able to schedule three one-on-one coaching sessions with me. Ideally, the first session will take place just before you return to work post-sabbatical or during your first few weeks back. The second session should occur a 1-3 weeks after your first session, and the third session occurs later in the semester.

A week prior to your one-on-one session, I'll email you with an overview of the focus of the session and a worksheet for you to complete. The worksheet serves as an advance planner and will help us maximize our time together during the one-on-one session.

After each session, I'll send a recap email with a summary of what we discussed and any next steps.

Whenever you'd like! Ideally, we'd start working together just before your sabbatical ends to put a plan in place for re-entry, but we can also start working together at any point in your first semester back after sabbatical.

Great question! I'm Bethany Wilinski, and I'm an associate professor at Michigan State University. After taking a life-changing sabbatical, I designed my signature program, Reignite: Your Life-Changing Sabbatical to help fellow academics plan their dream sabbatical.

My own experience and my work with clients has shown me that it's one thing to have an amazing sabbatical, but it's another to make a smooth transition back to work so you don't go right back to being burned out and overwhelmed. That's why I created this program. With just a little time and guidance, I guarantee you'll make a smoother transition back to campus after your sabbatical.
