The Mentally Fit Leader

Are you struggling with stress and exhaustion? You are not alone. Did you know teachers are more stress than the general population with 75% of teachers reporting they suffer from stress? In Australia almost 4 in 5 school staff may experience a mental health difficulty in their life.

Move beyond stress and burnout to create a sustainable, productive and fulfilling work life.

Mental health is not a destination; it is a set of skills leaders acquire and implement into their life to be able to ride the ups and downs. This workshop will highlight practical and effective strategies to apply to your daily life to be mentally fit and thrive. You are your most important asset – it’s time to invest in you!

This workshop is ideal for you if:

  • You are ready to prioritise your own mental health and wellbeing.
  • You would like to understand how your ‘stress bucket’ fills up and how to drain it.
  • You would like to learn 12 practical strategies that can easily be embedded into your daily life to help you be mentally fit.
  • You need a plan to help you to stay mentally fit.
  • You are keen to be a positive influence in your school to develop a mentally fit and thriving school community.

Loved the honesty in the sharing of information and strategies

Karon Grimmer – Administration Workshop

This session was one of the most empowering workshops that I have ever done and I leave the session with extremely useful and relevant tools to use going forward. Thanks so much to Sally for leading us in the session so positively.

Absolutely brilliant information, empowering us with many tools and skills to takeaway and work on. My colleague and I leave full of positive energy about how to approach the challenges of our admin roles.

“Strategies to Thrive as a Year Level Co-ordinator by Sally Learey”

Sally was insightful and helped me to make clear connections to every day behaviours / emotions that I will need to recognise in my position. It really reiterated why I applied for this position in the first place as I think that often the purpose or the why is forgotten in an attempt to do everything for everyone.

Susan Snooks

The best P.D. I have attended in living memory!” I loved every minute of this engaging, interesting and informative PD. And I have been teaching for 40+ years!

Tina Hobbs – Administration Workshops

I have come away from this session feeling very inspired and so much more positive. I now have many new ideas/techniques/strategies regarding how I can better manage a workload that often feels overwhelming. Some of these can be implemented immediately while others are more long-term plans. Thank you for making this workshop so practical. I just wish that all school admin staff had the opportunity to undertake this course.

Just a big Thank you for giving us the opportunity to attend the Critical Agenda Workshop yesterday.  David presented a great program, lots of handy strategies and he was very engaging and supportive. Highly recommended.  I was very happy we did not have to do any Role play’s.
