This workshop is for teachers and school leaders.
As educators our own health and wellbeing is vital to the success of our pupils and schools. However our own self-care often falls to the bottom of our increasingly long to-do lists. This workshop takes a practical look at how we can re-address our work-life balance. It will use a coaching approach to evaluate our current reality and use tools to create goals and actions to focus on in the weeks after the workshop. You will leave the workshop feeling a sense of clarity and focus around your own health and wellbeing.
The workshop will be delivered by Sarah Phelps who has been an Educational Psycologist for 15 years and Hannah Buchan, Principal Teacher at Wallyford Primary School. Both Sarah and Hannah are trained as Life Coaches.
