Welcome to Plain Sailing in Schools – an inspiring place outside of your school environment where you can find solutions to the challenges and issues you are currently facing. Whatever your school setting, Plain Sailing in Schools mission is to reach out to as many people who work in schools as possible all over the world, with support, guidance, practical ideas and encouragement.
So whatever your role in school, whether you are a class teacher, a head teacher, a co-ordinator or manager, a teaching assistant, a learning mentor, a nursery nurse or officer, a learning support assistant, a welfare officer, an administrative officer, a lunchtime supervisor, a school governor……I hope I haven’t left any out….then Plain Sailing in Schools will have something to offer you.
There is little doubt that schools can be very demanding and stressful places to work in, and too often school employees do not have anyone to turn to, as their colleagues are all too busy and overworked. Now, I want you to use your imagination. Try to visualise how your life would be if any of the following could be a reality:
- Imagine what it would feel like if you could always cope easily with the demands and pressures of working in a school.
- Imagine if your physical and mental well-being were always in the best of shape.
- Imagine how different you would feel if you could find that extra motivation and inspiration to fulfil your roles and responsibilities in school with more flair, skill and enjoyment.
- Imagine how smoothly your life would run if you had all the answers to prioritising your time with maximum effectiveness.
- Imagine how much more confident you would be if you knew how to nurture first class relationships with either children, or parents, or staff.
- Imagine how energised and vibrant you would feel if you had the perfect work/life balance.
- Imagine how your self-confidence and self-esteem would skyrocket if you could easily identify and eradicate your self-limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns.
- Imagine what it would be like to wake up one morning and feel that your passion for working in a school had suddenly been reignited.
