Have you ever been around a colleague who is constantly negative? Maybe someone who talked negatively about others around them, was spreading gossip, or just never stopped complaining long enough to look for a solution to a problem? As if teaching isn't hard enough as it is, dealing with constant negativity or workplace drama is a real vibe killer. So how do you want to navigate this negativity?By creating and enforcing authentic teacher boundaries, you can protect yourself from workplace negativity and drama.Here on The Resilient Teacher Podcast, we are all about authenticity. So instead of giving you some generic boundaries that might not be your style or what you need, we're going to talk about how to activate your self-awareness and use it as a tool to building boundaries that will support you long-term.HEAD OVER TO THE SHOW NOTES: teachingmindbodyandsoul.com/episode40?Join the FREE Resilient Teacher Community on Facebook: http://www.teachingmindbodyandsoul.com/supportsquad?
