Beyond Work: Why take a sabbatical (Ep. 1 out of 4)

1 Foot In - An Asian Career Podcast

Beyond work is a series which talks about everything that lies beyond work; gap years, balancing family, pursuing side hustles, and everything else!
If you're a mid stage career employee who's questioning what's the next stage of career, how to find your passion or even how to impact the world. Or you could be just planning your future, maybe even looking for alternatives in the market - then this series is for you.
Sameer was working in P&G for 17 years, and left as a Vice President in Procter & Gamble (P&G). At that time he handled half a billion dollars, across 9 categories and over 20 brands, with reporting lines of a 100 people, across Hong Kong & Taiwan, and as a father to 2 kids and a beautiful wife.
You would think he left for a new job, but instead he left for life - to take a gap year at age 40 years old at the height of his career. Surprisingly this wasn't the first time that he step away from work to think about life, he did so at age 30 as well.
For 4 episodes, 1 per month, we'll dive into:
- Why he took a sabbatical.
- What he learnt in his first sabbatical at age 30.
- Why & how he prepared to take his 2nd sabbatical/ gap year.
- What he learnt from his gap year.
Be ready to learn with Sameer, without taking all the sabbaticals & gap years, and together we'll discover what lies beyond work.
