How to make this day great if you work in education

For those outside the education profession, right now teachers and school leaders are the envy because you are embracing the long 6-week summer holiday.

Yes, this is another example of teachers only working part time, eh?

  • Tell me, how many times have you been into school so far? Once, twice, every day?
  • And how many times have you worked on school related matters at home?
  • Or what about the number of times you have thought about school?

Six weeks holiday is NOT spending your time with your head in the job.

As an education professional, I used to need a week to catch up on work overdue because there was never enough time to do everything expected; 2 weeks to get over sheer exhaustion; 1 week off to attempt to see family and friends; and then back to pre-term preparations again.

SIX WEEKS HOLIDAY? You must be joking!

Ready to make this day great?

Close your laptop, put work away and treat yourself to something you enjoy doing but never have the time for.

This is called having a LIFE.

Enjoy it.

Embrace it.

If you love your career in education, you will go back more refreshed as a result – which is great for everyone.

If you dread the new academic year ahead, you will get a flavour of what it feels like to have your life back and the headspace to make plans for alternative choices of career.

Either way, you win.

Make this day great.

Professional

I first worked with Will whilst I was a junior member of a teaching team. I worked closely with him for around three years and he became a true mentor to me. During this time Will helped encourage me to discover my own leadership style and he mapped out what it takes to be successful. I highly recommend Will for life and career coaching.

Will is a professional, natural leader who manages to make you feel at ease. He manages to be both emphatic and encouraging, whilst also managing to challenge you to find your own answers. Will’s approach is totally non-judgmental and the sessions are really focused on you and on what you want to achieve. Working with Will has allowed me to address challenges I was facing and he brought a wealth of resources and practical tools to help me set goals, clarify my values, and explore avenues right away. Even though I left teaching 5 years ago, I still seek out Will for his help and guidance and I appreciate his versatility as a thought partner, ally, and coach. Our sessions are always productive and efficiently run, which is perfect for someone who is juggling many priorities! Will brings great communication, professionalism and quality to his work and I highly recommend him as a life/business coach.

Will at Mapleleaf vision fitted me in for a last minute decision-making session that I needed to make ASAP re. a job offer / career change. He was friendly, professional, and really knew his stuff! He unpicked things that I could never have done on my own. I’m so grateful to him & will be highly recommending him to everyone! Where there is a ‘Will’, there’s a way! Thank you, Will. You truly have a gift.
