Workshop Summary:

You've poured your heart out to serve your students and schools, but it has come at a cost.

Because on top of trying to serve the endless learning needs of your students and meet a long list of expectations, you’re also trying to navigate:

• Negativity from your colleagues (yep, I said it)
• Frustration about decisions beyond your control
• Uncertainty about whether or not you’ll get the support you desperately need
• Bitterness over the challenging work conditions
• And at the end of those long days, laying in your bed at night trying to fall asleep - feeling exhausted, depleted, and stressed, you start to wonder…
• Am I doing enough?
• Does what I’m doing even matter?
• Am I really qualified for this job?

Get a step-by-step framework to help you manage stress, develop resiliency, and create more joy in your life.

Happiness Habits to Fuel Success

It's time to introduce simple habits in your life that will help you feel confident to face the challenges that come your way. Instead of drowning in overwhelm, you'll find the tools to overcome stress and create new solutions.

Find out what you're capable of

Let go of the fear and discouragement that's holding you back and rediscover your joy.

Let's focus on what matters - YOU!

Unlock the formula for taking back you life as a teacher!

Let's redirect your attention toward being the best version of yourself by prioritizing your own needs and devoting time and energy to what brings you joy and satisfaction in your life.

You don't have to settle for the endless cycles of stress and exhaustion.

Learn how to bring happiness and wellness to the forefront so you can reclaim your life within and outside of teaching.

In this full-day virtual live workshop you and your staff will learn:
