Teaching can feel relentless — endless lesson plans, meetings, behaviour challenges, and never-ending to-do lists can leave you exhausted and overwhelmed - struggling to get done what you need to do, let alone what you want to do. In this class we dive deep into the causes of overwhelm and dissect practical strategies that you can immediately implement to overcome them.

When work bleeds into your evenings, weekends, and personal life, it’s time to reclaim your space. This class teaches teachers how to set, articulate, and maintain healthy boundaries — so you can contribute fully without sacrificing your peace, energy, or standards.

Personal boundaries are the rules and limits we set for ourselves in relationships. Boundaries help us to contribute meaningfully to the spaces, places and relationships in our lives without compromising our peace or standards. The skill of setting, articulating and holding clear boundaries gives us capacity for sustained contribution.

In order to do something great with your life you have to be willing to resist the temptation to do what is familiar and easy.  Going against the norm is having the courage to do what is right, even when it goes against what is considered the norm. It is essentially a courage walk.

Let us tell you a secret. There will always be critics in your life — but you don’t always have to let them affect you. In this course we dissect different types of criticism and deep dive into why they affect us in the way they do. You will walk through criticisms that have affected you from your past and process them to move on in freedom, and learn a proven methodology to manage critics in every season of your life.

Some days in the classroom and staffroom can be deeply uncomfortable. Discomfort has a powerful purpose, yet our culture promotes fear of and avoidance of discomfort. Although we often cannot see the larger purpose of discomfort immediately, we have to trust that life is happening for us. A life devoid of discomfort is a life without depth or meaning and the paradox is that the discomfort that is initially a roadblock and a source of pain becomes the road to our greater self. A new layer of freedom is experienced when we face discomfort as an opportunity.

Fear - we know it, we can understand it, but to walk though it is a completely different level of courage and skillset. Fear is when you focus on the fall, not on what you want and neglecting to implement the skill of pivoting on what you actually want. So we get stuck in the 'fall' and end up settling.

To live a life of constant fear is to not live at all. Managing our fear is about shifting our fear from, 'this is so scary' to 'this is worth fighting for'.

Do you ever feel like your to-do list is always growing and you are never able to get done what you need to? Do you ever find yourself scrolling on your phone, procrastinating from the laundry, from growing in intimacy with your husband, or even from penning that novel you always promised yourself you’d write? The skill of overcoming inaction is essential if you want to break out of this vicious cycle. In this course, you will learn practical strategies to help you break the cycle of inaction and live your life in freedom and joy.

This is the skill of holding someone responsible for a standard, expectation or commitment. Without it the integrity of relationships and the values of society weaken. This skill assumes that each one of us bear the consequences for our actions and inactions. It is the skill of reminding yourself and others of their responsibility.

It is a counter cultural skill in a world characterised by the mantra 'You do you'. When we have no standards for our own and others behaviour we are all robbed of the opportunity to become our best self.

Comparison – we experience it, we recognize it, but breaking free from its grip requires a completely different level of awareness and skillset.

Comparison happens when we focus on what we lack rather than the unique strengths we bring to the table, neglecting to develop the skill of celebrating our individuality. So we stay stuck in the trap of “not enough” and settle for less than we’re capable of. To live a life bound by comparison is to not live fully at all.

Mastering comparison is about shifting from, “I’ll never measure up” to “I am worthy of my own race.”

Research tells us that we make 32,000 decisions every single day. That’s right — every. Single. Day. If you ever feel like you suffer from decision burnout and fatigue, so focussed on the minutia and practicalities of your life that you aren’t able to process the really important choices — this is the course for you. Join us to learn about the different kinds of decision-making required for Low-Impact, High-Impact, and Pivotal-Impact Decisions and learn practical formulas to help you leverage this skill in your life right away.
