Taking a sabbatical isn't about disappearing from your business or your personal brand—it's about giving yourself the chance to make both better than ever. I've been taking what I call a summer sabbatical for the past five years, and it's become one of the most important things I do all year to strengthen my brand.I know not everyone can take two months off, which is why I also believe in what I call the "sorta” sabbatical—a more accessible approach that's just as effective when done with intention. Both approaches challenge the misconception that constant busyness signals value—and instead, they create space for the clarity and creativity your brand truly needs.In this episode of Branding Room Only, you'll discover how strategic pauses can enhance your personal brand, why your best ideas often come when you're not overwhelmed, and get a practical challenge to start building rest into your routine this week.1:12 – Why rest is a core branding strategy, not a break from your brand2:53 – What my summer sabbatical looks like every year 3:48 – What a “sorta” sabbatical can look like for you if you can’t take a full one4:43 – The brand consequences of not taking the time to rest6:00 – Why pausing enhances your brand in the eyes of others6:51 – My challenge to you for this week Mentioned In Summer Sabbaticals and “Sorta” Sabbaticals for Personal Brand Growth<a href='https://www.paulaedgar.com/brandingstrategy'>Personal Branding Strategy Sessions</a><a href='https://www.youtube.com/@ThePaulaEdgar/?sub_confirmation=1'>Subscribe to The Branding Room Only on YouTube</a> Call to ActionFollow & Review: If you enjoyed this episode, <a href='https://ratethispodcast.com/branding'>leave a 5-star review on your favorite podcast platform</a>! Want more branding insights?
