SOME OF DARRENS TOPICS
REFRESH
This keynote or a half-day course focuses exclusively on teacher well-being. Practical approaches will be explored that will inspire, equip, and refresh teachers.
Teaching is a highly rewarding journey that also has its significant challenges. Workplace pressure, it seems, is at an all-time high. Teachers often feel overwhelmed, run down and tired.

Teachers will leave with renewed hope and will feel encouraged and refreshed.
ACHIEVING MORE IN LESS TIME
This is a one-hour workshop exploring how doing more in less time creates a greater margin in a teacher’s life.
In the fast-paced world of increasing demands, it may seem that the ‘work-life’ balance is out of reach. Studies show that long hours and heavy workloads are not sustainable and ultimately result in reduced productivity in the long term for both teachers and the School.
Darren’s workshop presents a system for making work-life balance a reality. Revolutionise your day to gain new freedom to live a balanced life.
