Weren't we all? What were you noticing that made you feel something needs to change?

Gosh, when you look at the research on teacher stress and teacher burnout, I mean, you only need to turn on the news and you will see another high teacher stress, high teachers leaving.

And what's interesting about those bits of research is that research is not new and it has been around for 30 years.

Teaching is known to be one of the highest stressed professions compared to general populations.

And that's from a World Gallup Institute report.

And that hasn't changed.

You've got teaching, policing and nursing.

Any insights or tips around what leaders could be paying attention to for themselves in the day-to-day grind of the work?

But to come to that emotional intelligence, that requires a little bit of reflection and effort.

And we don't pause, Meg.

We run, and we're forward fo- we're outward-focused.

We don't stop long enough to go inward-focus.

And what that means is with my outward lens, I'm always looking to other people, hence leaders, to say, "What are you going to do for me?" Or we'd say, "Workload, workload.

Time, time.

I need more time." We'll say, "Okay, we'll give you another hour of time." And then you give people an hour of time.

What does it look like in this modern day?

And that's when things start to feel really tough and really hard.

Absolutely.

And also, if we think about, I know here in Australia and in many other places around the world, a term will typically be 10 weeks, whether it's nine weeks, 12 weeks, but generally around a teaching term is 10 weeks.

What teachers tend to do is they look at their family in week one and say, see you in 10 weeks.

And they're there, they're at home, but they're not fully present.

Now, the reason I share that is we treat our cars better than we treat ourselves in terms of our energy.

For example, we might put fuel in our car in week one, but we have to refuel our car within that 10 week period or our car will stop.

Yes.
