Ways to Work Together

Sabbaticalize offers two primary ways to engage the leadership framework.

Both are grounded in the same principles and phases - the difference is

how the pause is created.

Option 1: Pause Away
(Mini or Full Sabbatical Coaching)

Best for leaders who:

Are preparing for or returning from a sabbatical
Need distance to reflect, reset, or make significant decisions.
Are navigating major transitions

What This Includes:

Intention-setting and goal clarification
Coaching during or adjacent to time away
Meaning-making and reflection
30-60-90 day re-entry planning

Focus:

Interior clarity, identity, and intentional reintegration

Option 2: Pause Within
(In-Role Leadership Coaching)

Best for Leaders Who:

Want to grow while staying fully in role
Feel effective but unsustainable
Want feedback grounded in lived leadership, not hypotheticals

What This Includes:

Ongoing leadership coaching
Observation and site visit (optional)
Reflection connected to real-time leadership behavior
Systems and boundary redesign

Focus:

Leadership presence, workable actions, systems, and culture

About the Coach

Dr. Adriana Chavarín-López

Adriana is an education leadership coach and consultant who works with leaders navigating complexity, constraint, and change within real systems. She understands the institutional pressures leaders face—and the cost of trying to lead well without space to think, reflect, and realign.

Her work integrates reflection, action, and systems thinking to support leaders not just to endure their roles, but to lead with clarity, integrity, and sustainability over time.

Leaders work with Sabbaticalize through one of two tracks:
Individual leadership coaching—either in role or during a mini-sabbatical—and Leadership Team Alignment, which supports teams to define the right problems, align strategy and culture, and strengthen implementation within complex systems.

Across both tracks, Adriana helps leaders slow down urgency, think more clearly together, and build practices that last.
