With 84% of head teachers stressed and chronic stress linked to coronary heart disease, it's a critical issue to address. Maria encourages participants to check in with themselves regularly and offers practical advice on how to measure heart rate variability, a key indicator of heart health.
With a range of stressors affecting head teachers, including high stakes inspections, crushing workloads, and more, it's no surprise that 59% are looking to leave the profession. But there are ways to reduce stress, such as James Newman's training.
Maria Brosnan, managing director of Pursuit, has worked with Dr. Carla Stanton, a GP functional medicine doctor, to develop a robust three-pillar approach to heart and heart rate variability research, using biofeedback technology.
