Are you a perfectionist? If you have ever related to feeling like you can NEVER live up to your own high standards, then maybe this episode is for you! Do you struggle with comparison-itis and constantly compare yourself to the “perfect teacher” next door (or even worse, on Instagram!) This episode deep dives into how to overcome perfectionism, why we feel the need to be perfect and how to recognise your own strengths and embrace our flaws!
Understanding who we are as teachers inside, and crucially, outside of the classroom is key to our success in life and in our career. Have you ever struggled to answer the question: “who are you?” Or “what brought you to teaching?” without having a generic answer or just generally not really knowing what to say? Then… you need to listen to this episode where I deep dive into what it means to truly know yourself, as a person and as a teacher and how this can help you to be a better role model, teacher, friend and person.
It’s only through being real and vulnerable that you can truly begin to tap into your true self. That you can develop real relationships and be truly happy. Learn about the benefits of being vulnerable and what it brings to your life. So sit back, relax and enjoy this episode!
