Educating our kids is important. We want Teachers that truly dig their job, that like the people they work with and recognise the impact they have on the young ones in their care and the people they work alongside of. This is a little of AC’s Story…

The Context

AC had been working for Education Queensland for many years. A Gen X, working in an environment with high schoolers living with various types of disabilities, AC was deeply committed to maximising everyone’s abilities. There were some entrenched attitudes within the workplace, leadership was relatively supportive, but the culture was deeply resistant to change. AC was beginning to wonder is it me? Why are people like this? How can I be better?

How We Worked Together

AC and I met at a Brisbane Teachers Professional Development Night. The Principal had received my details from a professional speaker colleague of mine and brought the two of us together. Receiving the brief and attending on site, the Principal introduced me to the audience in a way that perfectly opened up to a discussion on values and do we know what each other stands for?

AC approached me that night and asked if I did coaching. We began working together over the space of a year and did so using various formats: phone, Skype and face to face.

with engagement on our LinkedIn and Facebook posts to achieve results, during and beyond the sessions.
