In this episode I am joined by Annabel Jeffcoate, the founder of Balance for Teachers. Balance for Teacher aims to reduce the amount of stress related illness in the education sector and one of their strategies for doing so is empowering their clients to say ‘no’.

In this episode, Annabel shares:

• Why curiosity and asking questions can be a powerful tool in changing perceptions of how other teachers/colleagues work.
• Why breaking down the reasons why you’re feeling a certain way in your job can help you work out the solution.
• Why saying ‘no’ to yourself is just as important as saying it to external influences.
