What if you excelled at ladder climbing, and were one of a handful of women at your level to garner accolade after accolade and to get promotion after promotion?
Shelley Paxton, author, speaker, transformational coach and podcaster found herself breathing rare air when she was made the CMO of Harley Davidson, becoming one of six women in the executive ranks at a Fortune 500 company. 
But what would you do if you’d made it to the top and found that you felt dead inside? Would you continue on, hoping the next promotion would give you the soul-satisfaction that you were craving? Or would you give notice and take a "Soulbattical", going on a quest to find your best life?
