If you work in an org with a culture of blame, shame & hierarchical directives, remember it's symptomatic of insecurity. If someone is grounded & centred, they have no need to be aggressive, dictatorial or overtly egoic.

Wisdom whispers. Those who lead from behind don't care who gets the credit.

Teachers - we can’t support our students if we aren’t looking after ourselves first. 🧘‍♀️ Taking a moment to find our breath before Period 1 isn't just "self-care"—it’s a prerequisite for supportive teaching. #psychologyintheclassroom

It’s not just what #teachers say in our lessons, but how we say it. 🗣️ Research shows tone communicates respect & control long before the students process instructions. Let’s make sure our voices match our intentions! Learn how to do this here👇
