TRAILS’ Post

Hire former educators. You won't regret it. Keep reading. I suppose it is convenient that, as a former educator, I am advising employers to hire folks like me…but I come prepared (a teacher thing). Even in adverse circumstances, through economic tumult, and amidst the ever evolving world we live in, teachers DO -- they tinker, they perform, they assess, and they foster excellence in those around them. These are transferrable skills to any role that requires resolve, and skills I have seen yield success at all levels, across departments, and among organizations. ➡ They Do It All. Educators are therapists, social workers, mentors, active listeners, program managers, facilitators, conflict resolvers…people leaders. You'll find former educators as C-suite executives across the globe, maître d's at Michelin starred restaurants, and even as Goofy on Disney cruises (hi, Glen). Adaptable, strategic, creators -- teachers can scratch any (figurative) itch your organization has. ➡ They Do It With Nothing. Educators make magic happen…literally. They build systems with those just learning what systems are. They promote character and influence change in their communities with just their voices. They make ends meet -- teachers find creative ways to fulfill any requirement at any time under any circumstance. They do, and they continue to do to ensure success. ➡ They Are Resilient. Remember that time when the world shut down and the model for education shifted overnight? Teachers met the mission and evolved standards, encouraged inclusivity, and stabilized the lives of hundreds of millions of people. Overstatement? Not even close. Another way that teachers will "wow" you in any role. Bottom Line: don't sleep on former educators because their provenance on paper doesn't match what your ATS is searching for. You will be surprised what we bring to the table when things get real.

Exciting job opportunities

💫 Nurses typically are accountable creatures by nature. We save lives after all. 🏥 ⏰ However, do you have the self discipline enough to hold yourself accountable to develop that business? Once the business it developed, are you doing what’s necessary to grow and evolve as a company? Or are you stuck in business stagnation? #footcarenurse #footandnailinstitute #nursebusiness #nurseentrepreneur #nursethrive

Higher Education folks - if you haven't read this one, I betcha your staff and colleagues have! Burnout has two distinct sides: the burnout of an individual who has been overtaxed, and the burnout culture created in offices & organizations whose dysfunction is so prevalent that even the most well-intentioned employees are hard-pressed to maintain their professional peace and serve students. As you kick off 2024, take a moment and check in with all your people about their burnout status. Consider asking them, "what can I do to prevent you from becoming a statistic like the ones in this article?" Nobody wants to feel burned out in a job they love and everyone welcomes a manager who wants to help keep the burnout at bay!

🚑 Wee-woo, wee-woo - training emergency! 🚑 I worked in learning and development for over 20 years.  Early in my career, I had a great boss who put work emergencies into perspective. She said “don't get swirled into the drama when things are nuts or feel extra intense.  Just do your best and be honest about what is possible.  If you listen closely, you’ll hear silence and not the wee-woo, wee-woo of a training ambulance.  We are not saving lives here!”  It was helpful for me to hear this as a young professional, and I believe it is why I had the ability to remain calm when others around me were spiraling. I am guessing a lot of you are impacted by a false sense of urgency. In the comments -  I’ll share my favorite article on this topic that has lots of practical tips.  Disclaimer: some of you ARE actually saving lives, thank you for your critical work.  This message is for those who are in non-emergency job situations. But I won’t leave you out.  I have been working a lot with nurse leaders lately and I have some perspective to share on this - more to come. #careerstrategist #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipcoaching #coaching ================================= Hi!

Looking to build a dream team at your school? 🌟 Having top-notch support staff is a game-changer for any educational environment. Here are a few tip-top practices for schools aiming to attract and keep the best talent: 🌱 Grow Your Own - Consider developing talent from within. Offer training opportunities to existing staff who show potential. By investing in their growth, you're more likely to retain committed individuals. 🤝 Forge Strong Relationships - Building a sense of community and support goes a long way. When staff feel valued and part of a team, they stick around. Regular check-ins and recognising achievements can foster loyalty and satisfaction. 🔄 Feedback Loops - Create channels for open communication. Staff should feel comfortable sharing their ideas and feedback. It's a win-win; they feel heard, and you get on-the-ground insights to improve processes. 📚 Continuous Professional Development - Provide access or signpost to relevant training. By doing so, you reassure staff of their career pathways within the school, keeping them engaged and motivated. 🔍 Be Transparent - Make your processes are clear and inclusive. This shows your commitment to fairness and attracts a wider range of candidates. Remember, the little things can make the biggest difference. It's about creating an environment where support staff are not just seen as help, but as crucial members of your school's family. Keen to discuss how we can make this happen for your school?
