Like many people in our profession, I didn’t exactly grow up dreaming of working
in ELT, but what made me fall in love with it was two main things: ❤ The
opportunity to work directly with people and help them to help themselves change
their lives for the better. ❤ The great colleagues I got to work with, as a
teacher, teacher trainer, manager and materials writer. Working as a business
and mindset coach with ELT freelance professionals enables me to combine both
those things, and to use the skills and experience I have to have a real impact.
One of the things I don’t like about ELT is the way that so many excellent
professionals are underpaid, undervalued and scraping by. I also far too often
see people working themselves into the ground. This might be OK when we’re in
our early twenties with no responsibilities, but it’s no way to run a
sustainable and enjoyable professional career.
