We don’t meet together as a team very often, due to other commitments and geographical distances. But it’s always such a joy when we do. Last week we came together to share time, reflection and inspiration. Leadership Edge Coaching in Schools 💝 What do you enjoy about spending time with your team?

What are you grateful for this morning? This walk is just 5mins from my house. In summer, we were moving closer to town. But then we starting appreciating what we already have, and withdrew. Sometimes we are so focused on the negatives, we forget to notice the positives. #wellbeing #edusky

Woo-hoo! My 12yr old slept through the night for the first time in about 5 weeks! Over summer, one of his friends shared a scary video on YouTube which he couldn’t get out of his head. 😫🥺 Whilst we focus on our professional duties at work, always remember there’s another life going on at home.
