95 {Aimee Parkinson} When a child goes missing on a school camp

To book an exclusive spot in our High Performance Leadership summit head here: https://www.trialtitudeperformance.com.au/registration1660014924140We often end up discussing big medical challenges on this podcast but there are so many other challenges that can have lingering effects.We can all agree that teachers have an enormous responsibility on their shoulders, but what happens when one of the children in their care goes missing?That’s what happened for Aimee Parkinson the first time she was in charge of a big sleep over at the school she worked at.After seeing first-hand how the wellbeing of staff easily becomes a low-level priority when other pressing matters demand attention, Aimee has started her own mission to support teachers. Along with her experiences, she combined her Masters of Educational Leadership, Health and Wellness Coaching Professional Certificate, Accredited Practitioner Credentials with Work of Wellbeing and research gained from hosting The Wonders of Wellbeing Podcast, to create Well-Nest. In this episode Aimee shares:The responsibility and challenges of teaching, and the pressures of looking after kidsThe moment she first had responsibility for a large group of kids at an overnight sleepHow things nearly went terribly wrongHer reaction to a child going missing and how it made her question herselfHow she was to hard on herself and needs to stick to facts to copeWhy you need to have the toolkit for different situations, as all situations are differentThe importance of debriefing a situationWhy we should be creating space for teachers to reflect and look after themselvesKey Quotes“The last thing teachers do is look after themselves. And when teachers are not well, they can’t teach and lead well.”“I try to just stick to facts, I can be very hard on myself”“It was less about can I do it, it was more do I want to? Do I want this level of responsibility?”More about AimeeYou can hear Aimee on her podcast, The Wonder’s Of Welling: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-wonders-of-wellbeing-podcast/id1616618044Head to her coaching and support website: https://www.well-nest.com.au/She can be found on LinkedIn https://au.linkedin.com/in/aimee-parkinson or Instagram: well_nest_collective_coYou can get involved with the podcast onlineOn facebook in our community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/challengesthatchangeusOr on Instagram: @challengesthatchangeusTo contact the podcast, email us here: [email protected] Or check out our website: www.Challengesthatchangeus.comTo find out more about what Ali does, check out her business via the website: http://www.trialtitudeperformance.com.auFor her other business go here: www.altitudefitnessarmidale.com.au Hosted on Acast.
