Traditionally, working in education has been to nurture and develop student’s potential. However today, as you know, the 
role encompasses many factors including (but not limited to) -
- teaching and developing student potential,
- being aware and up to-to-date with the National Curriculum,
- keeping abreast of the latest information and communication technologies,
- effectively communicating with fellow educators, students, parents and the community,
- staying aware of the changes in education policies, systems and processes, and
- being involved in extra-curricular activities.
All of these factors can have an impact on the health and wellbeing of educators, so it comes as little surprise that the devoted educator is finding it increasingly difficult to find time to nurture their own wellbeing and take time out for themselves.
You may already be feeling tired, stressed and overwhelmed with the amount of work you have to do, however research indicates if you don’t take time out for yourself, you could find yourself burnt out and/or having other serious health consequences. It’s just like on a plane, “put the face mask on yourself and then you can assist others.”
That is why we have developed this one-day course, so you can take the time out to invest in YOU and create purposeful self-care strategies. We will support you to identify strategies to look after yourself, identify your stress signals, ways to set aside time out as well as balancing your work and life. The strategies you will develop can support you at school as well as in your personal life.
During the course, we will focus on the following key areas:
- 360 Degree Holistic Wellness Approach
- Stress Reactions versus Responses
- The Triangle of Awareness
- Emotional Intelligence and Mastery
- Accountability and Personal Effectiveness
- Developing your Habits for Wellbeing
- Maximising Your Time and Energy
When you finish our one-day Investing in YOU course, you will feel equipped with the skills and knowledge to make a difference in your life as well as pass on this information to your colleagues back at work.
