Mental Fitness for Educators

What is Mental Fitness?

Classroom teachers and other educators are no strangers to stress. Overwork, underpay, budget constraints, ever-changing curriculum, and ever-evolving student needs and challenges overwhelm even the most dedicated of teachers.

Throw in a global pandemic and you have a recipe for bonfire-sized burnout and an educational system hemorrhaging teachers at a rate greater than ever before.

Testimonials

“Every week I looked forward to our pod meetings. It was always a safe space and I really feel like we grew and bonded as a staff. Liz was great. She always listened, showed deep compassion and empathy and was very knowledgeable about the subject matter. The PQ videos were very engaging and helpful. Especially the visualizations .” – Lydia Murphy; Elementary Teacher - Mental Fitness for Educators

“Liz is an amazing listener and soundboard when you are feeling lost and confused about your career. She has a way of helping you cut through the BS, and focus on what truly matters in order for you to succeed.” — Shannon S.

“I think that Liz is amazing! She is not afraid to be herself and she really pushes you out of your comfort zone in a really good and deep way. She is so open and very willing to help others truly understand and know what she is teaching.” Jesie Romero; Student Teacher - Bringing Growth Mindset into the Classroom

“This course was very enlightening and allowed me to think of things I can change to help live a more positive life. Liz is great! She is so engaging and asks great questions that almost always leads to a lengthy, but POWERFUL discussion!” – Jaymie Shea; Student Teacher - Bringing Growth Mindset into the Classroom

Losing passionate, highly-skilled, and deeply caring teachers is not only a tragedy for America’s youth, but for the teachers as well. It means saying goodbye to a career you have given your heart, soul, and time to.

How do we retain teachers in a climate that is so relentlessly demanding, where everyone is overworked and overtaxed, even on the best of days?

Mental Fitness or Positive Intelligence (PQ) training provides support for teachers both in and out of the classroom. It offers the tools and techniques necessary to foster resilience, endurance, and greater ease in a stressful career and challenging time.
