To see the change we have to be the change.
In this session we explore the significant, lifelong impact we as educators have on our pupils. We promote staff well-being, self-care and self-awareness as well as examining the attitudes and values that shape our work. We consider unhelpful thought patterns, response-ability and resilience and challenge our perceptions - putting safe, supportive and respectful relationships at the centre of all that we do. We identify how our pupils need us ‘to be’ so that we can be the difference that makes the difference in our pupils’experience of school and learning.
What you feed grows.
In this session we focus on our pupils. We explore what it is that children need to enable them to be ready to learn, how their brains and nervous systems work and how trauma and adverse experiences impact on our pupils. We examine the 4Rs framework to support our pupils learning and reflect on the impact of nurture at a whole school level. We think about practical strategies to both promote positive behaviour and interactions and to navigate choppy waters when things get tricky.
Pick and mix from the following elements and add your own;

Recent surveys of education staff indicate that they are more stressed than ever before....
- 78% of education staff have experienced symptoms of poor mental health due to work.
- 84% of senior leaders said they were stressed.
- 48% of education staff felt not very well supported by their organisation when experiencing mental health and wellbeing problems.
Having worked in the education sector for more than 20 years with over 1/2 of my career spent as a senior manager, I know all too well the pressures faced by education staff and leadership teams and the impact this can have on our overall wellbeing and quality of life.
I offer a range of coaching, speaking, training, workshops, programmes and events to support and promote the emotional health and wellbeing of school staff. Whether its 1:1 or group coaching, support with policy, procedure and practice, staff wellbeing days or workshops - I've got it covered.
Staff Wellbeing Days
Wellbeing days are an opportunity for schools and settings to provide valuable information, practical activities, tools and skills to their staff teams with the ultimate aim of supporting staff mental health both in and out of work.
Wellbeing days are also an opportunity for school leaders to show their teams that their wellbeing matters, to boost staff morale, promote connection and provide time and space for staff to feel nurtured, valued and supported.
Destined for Greatness staff wellbeing sessions aren’t your average ‘box ticking’ corporate wellness events. I balance the research with practical tips, activities, strategies and supports and share my own experiences along the way!

Support for Senior Leaders
Senior Leaders have a legal obligation to ensure the health (including mental health) and safety of staff at work and to provide them with a safe working environment.
As well as having a positive impact on colleagues and pupils, staff wellbeing can improve performance and job satisfaction, which can lead to reduced staff turnover When staff feel their work is meaningful and they are valued and supported, they tend to have higher wellbeing levels and are more committed to your schools goals.
I offer online training for school leaders, management teams and BOGs to support them in meeting the wellbeing needs of their staff teams.
