In this episode of "Classroom to Business," Kirsty Gibbs welcomes Jess Manton, founder of Jessica Manton Special Education Services. Jess shares her journey from being a secondary school teacher to a business owner, detailing the motivations and challenges that drove her to make this significant career shift. The conversation delves into the unique difficulties faced by educators who are exceptionally good at their jobs and how these challenges can often lead to increased frustration and burnout.
Jess provides insight into the contrasting realities of working within the school system versus running her own business. She explains how the positive feedback from parents and the ability to deeply focus on a smaller number of students have improved both her professional satisfaction and mental health. Kirsty and Jess also discuss essential strategies for teachers who might be struggling with similar challenges, emphasising the importance of self-care, maintaining perspective and finding a supportive community or mentor.
