Episode 7: Love It or Leave It?
Do you love a good metaphor? Good, we do too. In this episode, we encourage you to think about your teaching job much like you would your house. So you're growing a little tired of it.... can it be improved with a new coat of paint and some redecorating? Do you need a remodel? Or do you need to list it and move on? We have helpful frameworks to guide you through what's called "job crafting" and "life design."
Here's your homework:
Figure out if you’re gonna love it or leave it! Can you redecorate a little and be happy with that? Make an action plan for what and how you might make small tweaks to your current role - if you need help, try the Job Crafting tool on the jobcrafting.com website.
If you’re gonna leave it, figure out what your must-have, nice-to-have, and deal breakers are for the next house job. Make a list the same way you would if you were house hunting. Or, if you want a little more help with the process, try the framework exercises on this Life Design website.
