Are you hemorrhaging instructional staff?
Your brow furrows as you stare at a stack of resignation letters from teachers, each departure a painful reminder of the challenges faced in retaining instructional staff.
The weight of the situation presses heavily on your shoulders, as you grapple with the relentless demands of leading a school in a difficult environment.
The once vibrant and passionate educators are now worn down by the emotional strain of teaching, facing burnout and compassion fatigue on a daily basis. Your heart aches as you witness the toll it takes on your team, knowing that without intervention, your school’s foundation is at risk of crumbling under the weight of staff turnover.

Do you often feel isolated with the weight of leadership?
The emotional toll of leadership is palpable…
You find yourself navigating a sea of responsibilities, challenges, and decisions, often feeling isolated in bearing the weight of your school’s success.
The constant pressure to meet expectations, make tough decisions, and maintain a positive school culture takes a toll on your emotional well-being. Moments of solitude in your leadership role can feel overwhelming, leaving you yearning for connection, empathy, and support to navigate the complex landscape of educational leadership.
The need for emotional resilience and a sense of community becomes paramount as you strive to maintain your own well-being while leading with strength and compassion.

What Educators Are Saying
Through this pandemic I have heard multiple times on what we should do for students– and throughout this entire period my thought has been what can we do for teachers so that they do this for the students. This was the PD for that and this was the feedback that I received from teachers already… that this was for them and they appreciated it.
Dr. MeLissia Bond
Principal, River Road Middle School
From the start, this professional development really captured the essence of why it’s so important that
we engage in this work and then what we can do to protect ourselves as we go through the year
engaging in this work on a daily basis. My teachers were completely inspired and are eagerly
looking forward to the next session!
Dr. Gorman Brown
Principal, Charles Herbert Flowers High School
Today's professional development was outstanding! My entire team was fully engaged…They seem to be more connected with this particular presentation and with the speaker (Ayesis). So much valuable information was shared with the team that I know that will be beneficial not only to their own mental health but also be beneficial when they're working with our scholars. Thoroughly impressed!
