This year I have taken a massive step in my career by accepting a position at a new school. This position is the role of a Team Leader in a Year 2 Syndicate, so yes a wonderful opportunity to give myself more room to grow professionally and personally.
I will admit that this decision was extremely difficult to make, particularly considering it was one where I had to come right out of my comfort zone and leave a place that had a culture that I felt was completely embedded in me and my family.
I will admit there is a lot more pressure in this role and there have been days where I have felt overwhelmed with the workload. But I am reassured that in any new position, it will come with it's challenges. I am very lucky in that my team are very supportive, the staff have been very inviting and as I become more and more familiar with the school, the more I am convinced that this has definitely been the change that I have been longing. I have discovered recently that in my previous school I came across as shy and as someone who often did not voice ideas or concerns. Coming into this role I feel I can really grow into this position and my confidence has been given quite boost as I lead my team over the term. I have definitely found the voice that has been desperate to come out and I am liking this new person that I am becoming. Do watch this space as I set out on a quest on bettering myself as a learner and as a leader.
