Ep. 2: Find Your Why
In this episode, we dive deep into understanding your "why"—the essential motivation behind what you do as an educator. Starting with "why" provides clarity and purpose, guiding you toward making decisions that are fulfilling and impactful.
Drawing inspiration from Simon Sinek's concept of starting with "why," we reflect on how knowing your purpose can lead to greater satisfaction and prevent burnout, a common challenge in the teaching profession. Through personal anecdotes and insights, we encourage you to explore your reasons for teaching, singing, and specifically teaching kids to sing. By understanding and revisiting your "why," you create a strong foundation for inspiring your students and keeping the love for singing alive.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to rekindle your passion, this episode offers a thoughtful journey into what drives us as educators and how we can use that knowledge to better serve our students. So take a moment, dig deep, and let your "why" guide you to a more joyful and purposeful teaching experience. Happy singing!
