Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will
Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
Speaker 1: border and families will.
Speaker 2: Be protected sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
Speaker 3: If you're thinking about a career break, now that you
Speaker 3: know what it is. If you're thinking about asking your employer, hey,
Speaker 3: we've got sabbaticals around here. Who's given out sabbatical If
Speaker 3: that's you, let's go through really step one of the process,
Speaker 3: and that's preparing for a career break or its sabbatical.
Speaker 3: So as we go into what that preparation is, if
Speaker 3: you remember nothing else in today's time, I want you
Speaker 3: to remember that whatever you're thinking about doing, be it.
Speaker 3: Maybe you're done with work completely, Maybe you just need
Speaker 3: a longer break, maybe four weeks. Maybe your company does
Speaker 3: offer a sabbatical program and you haven't taken advantage of
Speaker 3: it before filling the brain reason, I want you to
Speaker 3: prepare well. And as you're preparing well, I want you
Speaker 3: to take into consideration mindset. How can you be creative?
Speaker 3: What societal, generational or cultural norms might you need to
Speaker 3: separate from to help you make those decisions? And who
Speaker 3: needs to support you. Deth One is to do your research.
Speaker 3: When you're thinking about taking a career break for whatever reason,
Speaker 3: do your research. Google is free or safari thing right,
Speaker 3: We don't, We're we're equal opportunity search engine folks here, right,
Speaker 3: whatever your search engine, the choices, use it. Start connecting
Speaker 3: with your network. Who are the folks in your what
Speaker 3: we call them at my company, what we call them?
Speaker 3: Your top five or your trusted ten or your board
Speaker 3: of directors, who are the sponsors, who are the mentors,
Speaker 3: who are the folks that typically pour into you that
Speaker 3: you can use as a sounding board that you can
Speaker 3: start having these conversations with, And the conversation starts real simply, Hey,
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about stepping away from work for six weeks,
Speaker 3: and let those words hang out in the air. Get
Speaker 3: used to saying, Hey, I think I need to step
Speaker 3: away for a month. You know what my company offers,
Speaker 3: a sabbatical. I think I'm going to take advantage of
Speaker 3: that and let those words hang out. See what comes
Speaker 3: back from your research, See what comes back with your network,
Speaker 3: and while you're doing your research, especially if you're in
Speaker 3: a more nine to five type situation, get mega familiar
Speaker 3: with your HR folks, Get mega familiar with your employe handbook.
Speaker 3: Now prior to executive coaching, running my own business, just
Speaker 3: setting across the world, scared with my Dramamine in one
Speaker 3: hand and my Metallica playlist in the other, so I
Speaker 3: can have something super distracting on the plane. I also
Speaker 3: came from a very strict and stringent corporate environment. Again,
Speaker 3: I go back to I've been drinking stale breakroom coffee
Speaker 3: with an asset managed laptop and a badge since I
Speaker 3: was nineteen, so I know how the rules of that
Speaker 3: road goes. Also in that corporate space, I was a
Speaker 3: humble HR practitioner, so multiple sides of the house, from
Speaker 3: training and documentation to employee relations, recruiting, onboarding, talent acquisition, benefits, administration,
Speaker 3: and wealth management. If there was a policy in our company,
Speaker 3: I knew about it. If there was a handbook to
Speaker 3: be written, I absolutely knew about it. I would like
Speaker 3: you to take that same level of inquiry, that same
Speaker 3: level of research into your prep work. Find out does
Speaker 3: your company have a sabbatical program. I have a partner
Speaker 3: coach who did her first in person event and she
Speaker 3: brought up the topic of sabbaticals. She knew that the
Speaker 3: company that she was working with offered a sabbatical program.
Speaker 3: And in the conference room, Razi said, hey, hey, raise
Speaker 3: your hand if you know about such and such a
Speaker 3: sabbatical program, and like two people raise their hands. But
Speaker 3: it was a company thing, like the company offered it,
Speaker 3: and the rest of the one hundred and fifty people
Speaker 3: in that room didn't know that their company offered a
Speaker 3: sabbatical program. So that's what I'm talking about when we
Speaker 3: say do your research. Step two is to really consider
Speaker 3: all of the impacts you're considering. You're letting those words
Speaker 3: hang out there. You may be doing some math on
Speaker 3: the back of a napkin. You're not limiting yourself here,
Speaker 3: but you're thinking about all the spaces you being away
Speaker 3: from work will impact. And typically the biggest impact is
Speaker 3: the pockets. Our money is going to be the biggest
Speaker 3: driver of a career break, a sabbatical, or if it's
Speaker 3: time to step away from work. So what might that
Speaker 3: mean for you? You may be considering your budget here
Speaker 3: as a household, you may be considering things that you
Speaker 3: may cut out of the budget for a certain period
Speaker 3: of time so you can facilitate not being at work
Speaker 3: for four weeks, six weeks.
Speaker 2: Erness what's up. You ever walk into a small business
Speaker 2: and everything just works like the checkout is fast, the
Speaker 2: seats are digital, tipping is a breeze, and you're out
Speaker 2: the door before the line even builds. Odds are they're

Speaker 3: Six months on an unpaid sabbatical right a year on
Speaker 3: an unpaid sabbatical. But I don't just want you to
Speaker 3: think about your take home money or your salary. I
Speaker 3: also want you to take into consideration, especially if you
Speaker 3: work in a traditional nine to five space, what amenities
Speaker 3: and benefits are you not paying into by not earning
Speaker 3: a paycheck? Your Social Security? Is it your retirement? Is
Speaker 3: it your match? Is it your four oh one K?
Speaker 3: Is it your HSA?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: What are the things that are also not getting your
Speaker 3: money if you step away, And I understand and recognize
Speaker 3: that some of those items can be a little daunting
Speaker 3: to think about. We work so hard to take care
Speaker 3: of ourselves, to take care of our family. Make sure
Speaker 3: the car note is paid, make sure the mortgage is paid,
Speaker 3: make sure we got a little bit of money to
Speaker 3: you know, maybe take ourselves out, get hair done, get
Speaker 3: nails done, hang with the friends. All that goes into
Speaker 3: the impact when you're thinking about your career break and
Speaker 3: your sabbatical. Health is another one. If you decide to
Speaker 3: make a clean break, maybe post layoff, and you say,
Speaker 3: I'm actually not going to go back into the workforce. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so what does healthcare look like for you? Going back
Speaker 3: to bullet point Number one, do your research. Once you've
Speaker 3: asked all the universe the bigger questions, start to develop
Speaker 3: your plan or strategy. It doesn't have to be perfect.
Speaker 3: It just has to work for you, right. It doesn't
Speaker 3: have to be at the income level or the income
Speaker 3: bracket of your peer, or your mom, or your sore
Speaker 3: role or your flat brother from college. It needs to
Speaker 3: work for you. And so as you're developing that plan
Speaker 3: and strategy draft, have that as a workable document. Maybe
Speaker 3: you start having those conversations what are the bullet points,
Speaker 3: what are their stops and starts in your plan? With
Speaker 3: your network. If you're asking for a career breaker, you're
Speaker 3: going to tap into that sabbatical program that your company offers. Awesome.
Speaker 3: Maybe the ask now that you have your data, Now
Speaker 3: that you know kind of what the financial impacts are,
Speaker 3: what are the family impacts, what are those health impacts?
Speaker 3: You can start to have the conversation with your boss,
Speaker 3: your leader, your skip level, whoever that may be. Start
Speaker 3: to engage your stakeholders. You're thinking about taking a break,
Speaker 3: quitting your job, or going on a sabbatical, who does
Speaker 3: that impact within your place of employment? I want to
Speaker 3: pause here for the entrepreneurs in the room, especially the
Speaker 3: individuals who are true and tried solopreneurs. You are the CFO,
Speaker 3: the CEO, you are the sous chef. You are the
Speaker 3: janitorial waste compliance person of your company, as well as
Speaker 3: the administrative assistant. All these steps still apply to you.
Speaker 3: You get to divide your research considering the impacts developing
Speaker 3: your planner strategy with the multiple facets of your personality.
Speaker 3: Right when you think about your business, are you out
Speaker 3: of space to leave the startup role move into plan
Speaker 3: B or move into a session B strategy where you're
Speaker 3: ready to scale your business? Do you have to do
Speaker 3: that before the end of the year. Are there projects
Speaker 3: within your business or are there product launches that you're
Speaker 3: thinking about that you may want a slow role, Maybe
Speaker 3: take some time off with that long money, and then
Speaker 3: come back six months, eight months, and maybe be even
Speaker 3: a more refreshed, a more gooder entrepreneur when you come back. Right,
Speaker 3: same still applies here if you're running your own business.
Speaker 3: Either way, when you're having those communications, make sure you
Speaker 3: give enough notice. You decide to step away for a
Speaker 3: career break and you're going to be gone a month,
Speaker 3: who's doing your work? While you're gone. Who needs to
Speaker 3: take into consideration some of the productivity impacts in your
Speaker 3: place of employment? Do you run a team, do you
Speaker 3: have direct reports that typically come to you. What's going
Speaker 3: to be their what's going to be their level of authority?
Speaker 3: What permissions might they need while you're out? What privilege
Speaker 3: and access do you need to grant them before you
Speaker 3: step aside? And lastly, keep the receipts. And what I'm
Speaker 3: saying here is get it all in writing. If you
Speaker 3: are going to your employer and you're saying, hey, can
Speaker 3: I take a career break? This is the reason why
Speaker 3: I want to take a career break, and here's the
Speaker 3: data behind it, and they say yes, absolutely. The toy
Speaker 3: you can take a career break for four weeks and
Speaker 3: we'll see you back in a month. Get it in writing,
Speaker 3: even if the conversation is verbal. Summarize that conversation via email,
Speaker 3: and keep all of the receipts from the time that
Speaker 3: you plan and prep to the time you make the ask,
Speaker 3: moving on to the time that you take the break,
Speaker 3: and what's going to happen when you come back. If
Speaker 3: you come back, we'll get.
Speaker 2: To that coach.
Speaker 4: The energy out there felt different. What changed for the
Speaker 4: team today?
Speaker 2: It was the new game day scratches from the California Lottery.
Speaker 2: Play is everything. Those games sent the team's energy through
Speaker 2: the roof.
Speaker 3: Are you saying it was the off field play that
Speaker 3: made the difference on the field.
Speaker 2: Hey, little play makes your day, and today it made
Speaker 2: the game. That's all for now, Coach, one more question.
Speaker 3: Play the new Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco forty nine
Speaker 3: Ers and Los Angeles Ram scratchers from the California Lottery.
Speaker 3: A little play can make your day.
Speaker 2: Peace made responsibily.
