The Mentally Fit Leader

Are you struggling with stress and exhaustion? You are not alone. Did you know teachers are more stress than the general population with 75% of teachers reporting they suffer from stress? In Australia almost 4 in 5 school staff may experience a mental health difficulty in their life.

Move beyond stress and burnout to create a sustainable, productive and fulfilling work life.

Mental health is not a destination; it is a set of skills leaders acquire and implement into their life to be able to ride the ups and downs. This workshop will highlight practical and effective strategies to apply to your daily life to be mentally fit and thrive. You are your most important asset – it’s time to invest in you!

Dr Julie Rowse is a speaker, author, coach and trainer. As a mental health occupational therapist for the past 27 years and author of the book ‘The Mentally Fit Leader’ she is an engaging speaker who uses her wealth of knowledge and experience to inspire audiences to be intentional. Julie grew up surrounded by teachers in her family and has extensive experience working alongside the education sector to support schools to create mentally fit environments that promote regulated students who are ready to learn.
