Paul Bellantone, President and CEO of the Promotional Products Association International, is one of the few association professionals I know who has actually taken a sabbatical -- something we often associate with clergy and professors.
After 20 years working for PPAI (over 7 years in his current role) Paul presented his board with the idea of a 3 month unpaid respite from traveling and running the organization. The board offered him 2 months off with pay instead and his adventure began.
We talk about ...
- What he did with his time off (you might be surprised!)
- The elements that had to be in place in order for him to step away
- The relationship of trust that allowed his board to be receptive and him to be comfortable leaving for an extended period of time
- The boundaries he put in place while away
- How knowing he's replaceable relieved the pressure he had imposed on himself
