“I think I want to do something other than teach, but where do I start?
Is there a book I can read?”

These are two common questions I hear from teachers wanting consider a career change. Teachers want to know where to start and having been an educator for years and years AND years, another common question is, what can I read. In this 5 week group coaching course both of these questions will be addressed.

🦋 Who this is for: Teachers at any level (K12, post secondary, trainers, community educators) that want to work on their career path, which might mean doing something other than teaching. This experience is for those who are asking, “What else can I do? What would I like to try? When will I have time to think about a career change?!” This experience will provide time to work on these questions. Throughout the program, you will be provided time to focus on the who (and what) that you want to be (and do) if you stay in teaching or if you want to transition out. Educators are the primary audience for this cohort. A general cohort is planned for later in 2025.

🎨 Holistic & Interdisciplinary: This experience is designed and facilitated by me, Veronica, a ICF ACC certified holistic coach and interdisciplinary educator; to find out more about me and my approach, go to Coaching with Veronica. This experience will weave in a holistic experience of body, emotion, mind and soul. From an interdisciplinary approach, a variety of activities, exercises and reflection questions will be provided to help participants interact with their working identity.

🧭 WORKING IDENTITY: is a metaphor and container of this experience. We will use the new 2023 edition of to book Working Identity: Unconventional Strategies for Reinventing Your Career by Herminia Ibarra. I read the first edition when I was a teacher in transition and found it supported me in my journey. We’ll read about 50 pages per week.
