How to Transform Your Teaching Career Into Something New

This week I'm chatting with Lisa Harding, CEO of Teacher Career Transitions Academy, about how educators can successfully transition to careers outside the classroom. 

Born into a family of teachers but taking a different path herself, Lisa shares her journey from educational technology executive to certified career coach dedicated to helping teachers recognize their transferable skills and overcome imposter syndrome. 

Whether you're considering leaving teaching, looking for a side hustle, or planning for post-retirement opportunities, this dynamic conversation provides valuable insights and practical steps for your career journey.

Key Points Discussed:

• Common misconceptions teachers have about changing careers and overcoming imposter syndrome
• Current career paths that are excellent matches for teachers' skill sets
• How to rebrand classroom skills into corporate-friendly resume language
• A step-by-step process for transitioning out of teaching
• Practical exercises to identify your transferable skills and career options
• The importance of networking when considering a career change
• and so much more!

Even if you're not looking to leave teaching right now, this information is incredibly valuable. Many of us will eventually move beyond the classroom, and understanding your options can actually reduce stress and provide peace of mind.
