How to Truly Thrive in a Demanding School Culture
DESCRIPTION:
In this powerful conversation, Tem is joined by Jayne Williams, a transformational coach and seasoned educator with 30+ years in the classroom and in leadership. Jayne shares her raw, real journey through burnout, toxic work cultures, and the hidden expectations placed on teachers, and how she came out the other side with her passion and well-being intact. We unpack how to protect your energy, set boundaries (without guilt), manage your workload when everything feels urgent, and finally start thriving, not just surviving.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Teaching in toxic environments requires boundaries, mindset shifts, and a strong support network. Jayne shares exactly how to build yours.
- Burnout is often mistaken for personal failure, but it’s really a systemic issue, and there are ways to push back and protect your energy.
- Learn how to use simple strategies to regain control of your time and mental space.
- Why self-worth isn’t defined by your manager’s opinion and how to stop people-pleasing and start thriving in your own career.
BEST MOMENTS:
"There's almost like a conspiracy of silence"
"It becomes weaponised into a where's your professionalism?"
"The anxiety levels that kids have to deal with these days is off the scale"
"Stay away from the mood hoovers, stay away from the negativity"
"If you feel yourself getting worked up, this is not the time to have a conversation about it, give yourself time to recover"
