Jason Leonardelli was doing what appeared to be "all the right things" in his career. He was rated as a top performer and leaders requested him by name for assignments. But he was working non-stop at the detriment of his health and happiness and knew he needed to take that step many people only wish they could do -- take a year off work to pursue other interests.

In this podcast, Angee and Jason talk about what it looks like to plan a career break and be open to the adventures that are often unplanned. Jason shares what he did to prepare, how he spent time on both "bucket list" adventures and how he knocked out some home projects that always fell to the bottom of the list. As the months passed during his sabbatical, he got real with his values, preferences, motivators and strengths and discovered that the thing he thought he would walk away from forever, was actually the thing he loved to do.

She knew that in order for her to find the right type of role, she needed to get to know influential communications leaders in town.

During our conversation, Andrea shares how she intentionally set a plan to expand her network, and very effectively started having some fantastic conversations with people who kept introducing her to more and more people. It's all about coming in with curiosity rather than "an ask." We talk about how it can be done -- and can even be fun.
