Hey Team,

Today I’ve got another mindset episode for you that I think you’re going to find really interesting...

It’s Not All About You: The Spotlight Effect

Have you ever walked into a quiet room and instantly thought that people were talking about you?

How about feeling those nerves that take over before leading an assembly or presenting to your colleagues for the first time because of all those eyes being on you?

Or even worrying about what to wear, rehearsing a conversation in your head so it goes well or feeling anxious to go to the gym or run in public?

All of these thoughts and emotions are, of course, completely valid but there’s a reason they crop up…

Sometimes, just by understanding why something happens we can feel empowered to do something about it, or at least begin to work on it.

As you might have guessed, the reason we feel like all eyes are on us is because is because of a cognitive bias called The Spotlight Effect...

I hope you find this useful Team and if you do, please do share it with a colleague, a friend or a loved one and help them to rewrite their wellbeing!

“I just don't have time.”

If as a teacher, you've ever uttered this phrase, I get it...

Not having enough time is almost part and parcel of being a teacher.

But what's worse is that, for so many of us, what time we do have, we spend on things that don't truly make us happy or contribute towards our longer term happiness. 

Now, this isn't an attack on anyone.

I did the same for the majority of my teaching career.

And I'll be honest, it's something I'm still working on now.

So please don't think this is a criticism whatsoever but today I wanted to help you to reframe the way you look at time and hopefully give you a shift in perspective that I’ve had recently…

Hey Team,

Things are really overwhelming in school at the moment…

No matter your role, we're all feeling the pinch point!

Deadlines, events, squeezing in things before the end of the year..

This piles the pressure on us and there's only so much that we can take.

Today I've got a simple system for you to help tackle the craziness that is the end of the academic year. I really hope this helps!

If you enjoy this episode, please share it with a colleague and help them to live a healthier, happier life.

Thanks,

Charlie

Hey Team,

Welcome back to this podcast!

Today I’ve got a really special episode for you...

A few weeks ago we recorded a live podcast, with a small group, to discuss the immense journey that our two guests recently embarked on…

Johnny Lawrence & David Wilson recently took on the challenge to climb a peak in the Atlas Mountains in North Africa.

It was a trek that tested them mentally, physically and emotionally and one that, in Johnny’s words, “stripped them right back”.

This was a fascinating conversation to be a part of and I want to say a huge thank you to both of them for giving us their time and reflecting on this challenge with us.

It was an absolute pleasure to a part of this conversation and I’m so excited to share this incredibly insightful episode with you.

I hope you enjoy it.

You can find more of Johnny ⁠here⁠ and on ⁠The Self-Development podcast⁠.

For more of Dave, find him ⁠here⁠ and on the ⁠One For The Road podcast⁠.

Hey Team,

Welcome back to the podcast - it's been a minute!

If you’ve listened to this podcast, worked with me in anyway or have even spoken to me, you'll know that I love an analogy...

This is one I heard from author and speaker, Sahil Bloom and after a lot of conversations with teachers, both clients and teachers I’ve met through social media, I feel is really relevant!

I think you’re really going to resonate with this one.

When thinking about life, think about it as a surfer does a wave…

Hi Team,

I'm back with a bit of a longer SNACK episode all about balancing it all when you're starting to feel exhausted, the week is running away from you and you're heading towards overwhelm.

I talk you through our 3-step process: finding the pinch points, deciding whether to push or pull and finally designing your minimum and maximum range of actions for your health & wellbeing.

I really hope this is helpful!

I'll catch you in the next one,

Charlie

Hey Team,

We're back today with a slightly different style episode...

In this week's Coffee With Coach, I sit down with you to discuss the idea that others will change the way they behave around us based on the model we give them.

It's the idea that if you're always saying yes, always sending emails at 9pm or always gossiping with others, the actions of those around you will likely mirror those behaviours straight back to you!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this style of episode and the episode itself...

You can drop me a message anywhere at @the.teachers.health.coach

Have a great day!

Hey Team,

Welcome back to the podcast!

Today we are diving deeper into a topic I get a lot of questions about... Sleep!

We can break a great night's sleep down into 4 key areas:

- Designing Your Day

- Evolving Your Evenings

- Your Restful Sleep Space

- Solving Sleep Issues / Supplementation

I'm really excited to share this longer episode with you and I hope it's really helpful for you!

Hey Team,

Welcome back to the podcast for this week's SNACK episode!

Today I want to talk to you about a topic that’s really close to my heart and that’s nurturing you as you.

In the health & wellbeing in education space and on this podcast we often talk about workload, workplace wellbeing, culture, relationships, leadership, productivity, whatever else connected to wellbeing as a teacher.

But today I want to talk about the side we often forget to talk about, nurturing you outside the profession!

I hope you enjoy today's episode.

If you like the podcast, please give us a review or share this episode on social media!

Your support will help us grow and reach other teachers, helping us on our mission to support every teacher in thriving, and not just surviving, both in and out the classroom!

Thanks, Team!
