Love being a teacher . . . but hate living paycheck to paycheck?
IN-PERSON CERTIFICATION
DECEMBER 9-10, 2023
You’re not alone!
Teachers all over the country are faced with a harsh reality:
They want to keep making a difference in kids’ lives, but they also need to be able to provide for their families.
To make ends meet, many teachers have to:
Sometimes doing both of those things WELL is harder than we realized it would be when we got into this industry.
Because, let’s be honest . . . teachers aren’t exactly bringing in the big bucks!
In fact, even though it’s definitely possible to live comfortably as a teacher, that comfort often only comes when other factors are present.
- Supplement their income with second jobs or forays into the gig economy (Hello DoorDash, UberEats, TeachersPayTeachers, and Etsy!).
- Live in a two-income household so expenses are shouldered by more than one person
- Live modestly and make their dollars stretch in every way possible
- Stay in the field for decades to move up the pay ladder
- Take on extra duties, like coaching or sponsoring extracurricular activities
- Be willing to move to places with a lower cost of living
Some even go the extra route of taking on teaching jobs at international schools . . . especially in countries with a lower cost of living.
Either way, there’s no getting around the fact that teaching (especially if you work in schools that are in low-income areas) comes with an income ceiling that you’d be hard-pressed to break through.
In addition to feeling underpaid, many teachers also feel overworked and underappreciated.
We take our work home — physically, mentally, and emotionally — yet we don’t have the benefit of feeling like society truly values what we do.
What’s so frustrating about that is that we CARE
SO MUCH.
After all, we didn’t become teachers with the goal of being rich. For the vast majority of us, we became teachers for one reason:
We want to make a difference in kids’ lives and believe that being a teacher is a great way to do that.
Can you relate?
Perhaps you have memories of teachers throughout your life who guided and supported you when you needed it the most.
Or a teacher who sparked and nurtured your love of learning.
Or maybe you had an experience that drove home exactly how empowering it is to have someone speak life and love over you.
Knowing that you have the privilege and the power to not only mold young minds, but to be someone who can inspire them to be better, push harder, and go further in life is a beautiful feeling.
And for that, you deserve all the flowers!
But . . .
Sometimes it can feel like no matter how hard you serve and go to bat for your kids, you can’t help but wish you could do more. That you could serve them on a deeper level.
Especially if you work in a school or district that doesn't exactly shower you with support and resources.
So, here you are . . .
overworked, underpaid, underappreciated . . .
and feeling like you’re meant for more.
It’s the perfect storm for burnout . . .
and it impacts teachers all across the industry.
In fact, in more recent years (especially after the Pandemic-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named), the harsh realities of being a teacher has led to what some may see as a mass exodus, with more and more teachers opting to walk away . . . despite having a genuine love for reaching and teaching the younger generations.
What if I told you there’s a way for you to not only make a bigger impact on the lives of kids in your school (and your community) while also making a good living?
Here's your chance to take professional development training that will actually make a difference in your life — and the lives of the kids you serve!
When you go through our comprehensive Life Coach Certification for Leaders, you don't just walk away with something new to add to your CV; you walk away armed with knowledge, skills, and tools you can use to guide clients of all ages through the ups and downs of life . . . so they have the best chance possible of living up to their full potential.
Imagine how much deeper you can go with guiding, nurturing, and healing your students when you've been professionally trained in not just the academic side, but the behavioral and emotional sides.
This type of holistic support is something that (let's be honest) is missing from so many schools . . . and none more so than schools in low income areas.
If you're anything like me, this hurts your heart and you've been looking for a way to change things. Not just for the kids in your classroom, but for kids in your community (and beyond).
As a Certified Life Coach, you would be empowered to:
- Show up for your students on a deeper level and make the kind of positive impact they carry with them even once they’ve moved on from your classroom.
- Help students learn how to cope with their emotions and the many things life throws their way . . . so they have a better chance of not only excelling in school, but in life.
- Generate significant additional income throughout the year by offering your life coaching services to ideal clients in your community and across the globe.
- Negotiate with the leaders in your school district to offer the kind of behavioral services that are sorely needed . . . thus making an even bigger impact (and more income).
Plus, we actively hire Certified Life Coaches from within our ranks to serve our clients . . . many of whom come from underserved communities where this type of service isn’t often provided.
The Life Coach Certification for Leaders is for you if you:
- Have a passion for kids and want to be able to serve them on a deeper level that can actually help change their lives . . . not just while they’re in your classroom, but for the rest of their lives.
- Are tired of being trapped under a low income ceiling and want to be able to earn the kind of money that supports the lifestyle you and your family deserve . . . however that may look.
- Live in an area and/or work in a school district that could really benefit from having better access to behavioral, social, and emotional health services, but there’s a shortage of professionals who offer those services.
- Feel like you’re meant for something more than what you currently have or are doing . . . and are ready to do something about it.
No more feeling like what you do isn’t making a difference.
No more stressing about whether “the kids are okay”.
No more having to depend on second jobs or side gigs to live the way you want to.
This is the kind of continuing education that can actually make a difference . . . and grow your bottom line!
