Set Up a CHAMPION WITHIN team program: Let's Talk

In this episode of Speedy Sunday, host Kate McCauley shares her journey through the chaos of teaching, reflecting on her experiences in a toxic environment and the lessons learned from keeping a record of her struggles. She emphasizes the importance of changing one's perspective and finding hope amidst challenges, ultimately encouraging listeners to let go of burdens and embrace personal growth.

Takeaways :

If you change the way you look at things, the way you look at things change. I filled two notebooks with stories of chaos in my school. I kept my struggles to myself to avoid judgment. The pandemic was a blessing in disguise for me. I wanted to find solutions to the chaos I recorded. I lost my notebook, but it taught me a lesson. Rediscovering my early teaching self brought me hope. Keep trying and never give up is my guiding principle. The toxicity I experienced kept me stuck for too long. It's time to set down the burdens we've been carrying.
