Episode 9
"There is another side, and it's life-changing."
Former Head of School, Sarah spent 13 years in teaching before deciding to listen to her inner voice and pivot towards a completely different path.
Now an Employer Engagement Manager working in the not-for-profit sector, Sarah has found a role that utilises her communication and engagement skills across different audiences whilst offering the work-life balance and well-being she was missing in education. She's no longer in constant "crisis mode" and finally has quality time back for the things that matter.
In this episode, we also talk about:
- Comfortable timelines for career transitions
- Treating your job search like a strategic project
- Recognising stress addiction and living in crisis mode
- Why engagement roles are perfect for teachers
- Hybrid working and reclaiming your evenings
- The difference between being tired and being mentally drained
- Sarah's only regret: not leaving sooner
- Hugely transferable teacher skills
