Every teacher loves a "jeans day" or bagels in the staff room. But when was the last time that they left a district-sponsored professional development feeling MORE EMPOWERED and excited to learn how to take more things OFF their over-burdened plate?Â
The reason that in the last ten years the most popular classes in the top Ivy League schools have been about "how to be happier" is no accident. Research has shown that happier, less stressed employees are more productive, more creative and have better mental and physical health.
When I coach teachers, one of the things I hear a lot is that they are fed up with being told to prioritize "self-care" without being given any tools, skills or resources to do so. By investing in this type of training, you are proving that you truly care about teachers.
We know that it's getting harder to retain great teachers. Many are burning out and leaving. But what about those who are burning out and staying? The cost of recruiting, hiring and training new teachers is very high. The perception of constant turnover is also bad to parents and board members. The invisible cost of poor campus morale is harder to measure and potentially potentially much higher.
These modules deliver an easy and cost-effective way to empower teachers to take responsibility for their mental and emotional health and all the tools to get them there.

Meet your Coach
I'm Grace. In 2002 I traded in a cushy corporate career for life as a public school teacher. After years of anxiety, depression, and burnout in the corporate world, teaching was like a breath of fresh air! Teaching was a joy - and easy. Until it wasn't.Â
Pretty soon I was overworked, overwhelmed and back on the road to burnout. I realized I didn't need to change careers again, I needed to change ME.  I needed to take responsibility and learn how to set healthy boundaries, prioritize, protect myself from negativity and control the things I could control. None of these were skills I had learned in teacher training.
I became obsessed with studying NLP, positive psychology, cognitive-behavioral therapy and emotional intelligence. I learned how to hack my mindset with simple habits to put the joy back in my classroom and in my life. Other teachers noticed, and urged me to share my "secrets."
In 2018, I turned those habits into a best-selling book, "Positive Mindset Habits for Teachers".Â
Multiple books and over a hundred podcast episodes later, I'm thrilled to offer done-for-you personal development modules to your teaching staff.
It's simple: happier teachers = happier classrooms and campus culture. All of which, of course, leads to better student outcomes. And less headaches for you!

 Whether you’re a new teacher trying to find balance or a seasoned educator looking to rediscover your spark, this course is a powerful reminder that your well-being is just as important as your students’ success."
