In this week’s episode of Energetically You, I had the pleasure of interviewing Megan Sweet, an expert in leading community-driven education transformation in high-need schools and districts. With more than 25 years of experience in education, and 15 years directly leading changes in schools, districts, and statewide in California, she knows that education is the most important lever we have for creating a more equitable society. She also knows that the best way to realize true change is by supporting and empowering individuals to lead the changes they envision for their school communities.
The topics we touched on:
- How considering the burnout factor is so key in the education sector.
- A process she has developed to take care of yourself while also being more effective at work.
- How she failed to take her own advice, and burned out (again) and what she has learned from that experience
- The one technique that she uses every day that has served her the most to communicate better.
Quotes
“For me as a change leader, I saw we didn’t have the tools we needed to manage the overload.”
“I started integrating mindfulness practices into my own life, I was already doing it, but I started bringing it into my workday.”
“I noticed that just by doing these practices myself that my interaction with others shifted.”
“I demystify mindfulness for educators...it’s just an invitation, but I also have all the science to back it up.”
“For me as a single Mom, self-care can look like taking a few extra minutes in the bathroom, or it could be not looking at my phone at the stop lights anymore.”
Thank you for listening!
