This is my last day of work. Not forever, just for six weeks. I'm off on my sabbatical after today and won't be back until August 11. However, everything should run smoothly with Grant and Kellyn holding things down until I return. Have a little patience with them as this site can be a bit of a hectic whirlwind at times, and they still have other jobs to do. It's been a wild first half of the year. After very little travel in Jan/Feb, the rest of the year has been a bunch of travel, including most of May and June being on the road. With coaching responsibilities for two teams from Jan-Apr, I am ready for a break. No big plans, but I am looking forward to being at home, playing some guitar, working on a few projects while trying to be very unwired for six weeks. Read the rest of A Well Deserved Break

QFF: Quick Fire Friday – Your 20-Minute Growth Powerhouse! Welcome to Quick Fire Friday, the Grow A Small Business podcast series that is designed to deliver simple, focused and actionable insights and key takeaways in less than 20 minutes a week. Every Friday, we bring you business owners and experts who share their top strategies for growing yourself, your team and your small business. Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends! In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Michael Denehey interviews Joey Coleman, Chief Experience Composer at Design Symphony, shares insights on how business owners can design their first 100 days to foster momentum, clarity, and joy. He highlights the value of taking extended breaks, recommending at least two weeks to recharge and prevent burnout. Advocating for personal growth, Coleman encourages reading fiction and scheduling time for self-care to prioritize well-being. Additionally, he emphasizes celebrating achievements and maintaining a balance between work and personal life as key strategies for sustaining long-term success. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Design Your Own First 100 Days: Apply the same strategic thinking you use for customers and employees to yourself—plan your first 100 days of any new business phase with intention and clarity. Take True Time Off to Reset: Even a 10+ day break (ideally more) away from work and tech can dramatically reset your energy, creativity, and focus. You're not just resting—you're recharging your leadership capacity. Celebrate Small Wins Regularly: Don't wait for big milestones to celebrate—acknowledge small victories to boost motivation and prevent burnout. Even a solo movie or walk can be a powerful reward. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Grow Yourself, Not Just the Business: Set personal growth goals with the same focus you give business metrics. A stronger, wiser version of you is needed to lead the next stage of your company. Protect Appointments with Yourself: Treat time with yourself as sacred. If you wouldn't cancel a client meeting, don't cancel on yourself. Your well-being directly impacts your business health. Rediscover Joy Through Non-Business Activities: Read fiction, take a dance class, explore hobbies—doing things that have no direct business ROI can reignite creativity and emotional resilience. One action small business owners can take:  According to Joey Coleman, one action a small business owner should take is a 10-day (or longer) true break from work—completely unplugged from emails, calls, and business tasks—to reset, gain clarity, and return with renewed energy.

Moana Pasifika are downplaying their dependence on outgoing skipper Ardie Savea. He will miss Super Rugby next year to take up a sabbatical in Japan, before making a 2027 return. Savea is signed with NZR through to the end of the 2027 World Cup in Australia and will end up spending half of that cycle playing in Japan. Franchise boss Debbie Sorensen told Mike Hosking that Savea's contribution might look inordinate, but there's a lot of things that go together to make the team work really well. She says that he's worked quite hard to ensure he's not the single outlier, working hard to bring the squad together and mentor other players.

Send us a textIn 2024, I took a personal journey to seek refuge in the Lord. I meditated on Psalm 139, Proverbs 3, Luke 22, Isaiah 40, and everything in between byt following The Bible Recap. I did not record, publish or interview as I retreated to hear God's voice and will for my life and mininstry. How did he want to use this testimony I have been trusted with? I pray if my story offends or hurts anyone that you would forgive me and offer grace I don't deserve. I only want to serve the Lord. This is the story of why resting was needed and how my joy and hope have been restored.Want to support the show? Like, share, subscribe, follow, or leave a review!

A New Way to Summer: 10 Ways to Slow Down This Year Episode Description What if this summer doesn't have to be another season of cramming in as much activity and productivity as possible? In this vulnerable and transformative episode, host Cherisse shares her heart about choosing a different way to summer - one that prioritizes rest, restoration, and the health of our souls. With shaky hands and an open heart, Cherisse announces she's taking her first sabbatical in 26 years of business, and invites you to join her in discovering what it looks like to summer slowly, restfully, and with intention.

In returning and rest you shall be saved." Ruth Haley Barton: "We cannot give what we do not have." Abraham Joshua Heschel: "Sabbath is not for the sake of weekdays, but weekdays are for the sake of the Sabbath." John Ortberg: "Hurry is not of the devil. Hurry IS the devil."

This prayer reminds us that our worth isn't measured by productivity, but by whose we are. Connect with Cherisse & Join the Journey

Sabbaticals, break weeks, and paid vacation, oh my! For many, the idea of taking a break from work is daunting. With the disruption in the work environment, how will anything get done? As he prepares his own upcoming sabbatical, David Bryfman discusses the role that rest plays in the workplace with Josh Feldman, CEO and founder of R&R: The Rest of our Lives.In a time marked by burnout and uncertainty, especially in the nonprofit world, stepping back is more necessary than ever. Josh suggests that it isn't productive to be productive all of the time; a runner doesn't sprint for a whole race, they have disciplined places of sprint, of walk, and of stillness. How can we incorporate stillness into our work? Furthermore, Josh reminds the audience of the Jewishness of rest, and how we can be inspired by the Sabbath and the shmita year. David and Josh challenge the audience to think about when work gets done, and when it doesn't.  This episode was produced by Dina Nusnbaum and Miranda Lapides.

I'm incredibly excited to introduce the first guest of our newly rebranded Nourished CEO Podcast, my friend and powerhouse entrepreneur, Kelly Ruta. This episode is a raw, honest, and inspiring look at what happens when life and health force even the most driven business owners to hit pause. Kelly shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with long Covid, navigating relentless health challenges, and ultimately making the brave decision to take a sabbatical from her business—a decision she describes as both “kicking and screaming” and profoundly necessary. We unpack the internal struggle between ambition and wellbeing, how to set radical boundaries, and why “slowing down is not giving up.” Whether you've ever wondered "how do I step back without losing everything?" or you're seeking a grounded conversation about redefining success as a female CEO, this is a must-listen.

Rebecca Sutherns didn't follow a straight path—and she's the first to say that's the point. As a strategy coach and solo entrepreneur for 27 years, she's helped leaders rethink what's next while doing the same for herself. In this two-part series, we talk about work-life trade-offs, momentum, and why imagining your future might be the most strategic thing you'll do. If you've ever hit pause or felt stuck in place, this one's worth a listen.Key Highlights of Our Interview:Midlife Isn't a Crisis—It's a Cue“I wasn't burning out, but I could tell I was flatlining.”How Rebecca used a sabbatical to catch up with herself—not because she broke, but because she was ready for something deeper.What Comes After ‘I've Got This'“I kept getting hired for things I could do in my sleep. That's when I knew it was time to stretch again.”The danger of being competent—and the invitation to do more than just deliver.Stop Filling Gaps You Don't Want to Own“I could solve the problem, but that didn't mean I should.”Why she stepped back from team leadership roles—even when others saw it as a step up.Sabbatical as Prototype“It was a test. Could I shift the pace and still be useful?”Why her sabbatical wasn't a break from work—it was a strategic experiment in working differently.A Career Built Like a Hammock“The structure holds me, but it flexes.”Her metaphor for a work life that stretches without snapping—anchored but adjustable._________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Rebecca Sutherns, PhD, CPF  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.
