Teaching can be a rewarding and satisfying career, it can also be exhausting and overwhelming.
Implementing smart strategies and tools can make your teaching day more satisfying, significant and successful for both you and your students.
You probably already know what you could be doing for your own wellbeing, but maybe you find it challenging to actually do it. You may start each day with good intentions, but things can get in the way and your priorities can get mixed up. You know that looking after yourself is beneficial for all those around you, but you are so busy looking after others that it can be hard to find that time for yourself.

Confidence and a sense of calm...
Fresh out of university and experiencing first hand, the expectation of a teacher, compared to the realities of a teacher, was overwhelming at one stage. I was extremely thankful for Carolyn’s coaching sessions, as they were invaluable for me as Beginning Teacher. Anyone who knows Carolyn is drawn to her kind-hearted nature, genuine concern for others and ability to make you feel valued as a teacher. Her holistic approach to teaching allowed me to leave each session with a greater sense of clarity, confidence and a sense of calm. To this day, I continue to apply her philosophies to my everyday teaching practice.

A happy and successful career in teaching...
Before my coaching sessions I had recently returned from overseas travel and had just started teaching again. I found myself feeling lost and confused as to where I was heading or what I wanted to do with my life. I felt silly at the start of the coaching process, because I don't like talking about myself or my feelings, but as the sessions went on I found this confidence building up inside. I was able to see in front of me again. It really helped to hear back what I was saying too. The coaching sessions helped me to reflect and set realistic goals that I could achieve. The sessions made me feel good about myself. I now know the pathway I want my career heading in. Carolyn is an amazing person, who always makes you feel valued and comfortable.

The sessions made me feel good about myself...
Carolyn's coaching has enabled me to grow from a young beginning teacher to an experienced team leader. Her holistic approach was exactly what I needed to develop into the confident teacher I am today. She suggested useful techniques and used self awareness strategies that allowed me to develop management skills. I learnt to prioritise my own well being in order to be at my best. Teaching can be an extremely hard job it can consume you and suck out all your energy but coaching with Carolyn got me back on top of things. It is possible to have a happy and successful career in teaching.
