06 - Holistic Teacher Wellbeing with Amy Green (The Wellness Strategy)

This is a really exciting episode! The very first guest interview on The Flourishing Teacher podcast is finally here! This is only the first of many amazing guest interviews planned for the podcast, where these amazing human beings share their stories and the amazing work that they are doing both in the teaching space, and in their own personal lives too.

It is my absolute pleasure to introduce our first guest, Amy Green, to you.

Amy is founder of The Wellness Strategy, a published author, speaker, facilitator, and coach, and a leader in improving workplace culture and wellbeing in schools and organisations. As a past teacher and school leader, Amy is determined to change the way we view wellbeing to support our everyday and workplace needs. With a background in teaching and leadership and having studied human behaviour and positive psychology, Amy brings to the wellbeing space a fresh approach to what can be a sensitive topic. 

Amy guides workplaces to understand the difference between individual and collective wellbeing to ensure all employees feel safe, valued, and fulfilled, and to bring about a workplace culture in which all staff thrive and flourish.

Amy's book, "Teacher Wellbeing: A Real Conversation for Teachers and Leaders" is a must-read for all school teachers and school leaders! There are so many different facets of teacher wellbeing, and Amy provides an easy-to-understand framework for us as teachers to support and prioritise our wellbeing.

In this episode, Amy shares about her teaching journey, the work that she does today with schools and workplaces to prioritise staff wellbeing, and also her insights into the importance of viewing wellbeing as a holistic concept.
