Season 6 Episode 8 Teach, Lead or Leave with Jenny Cole

In this episode, we’re joined by Jenny, a self-described “recovering Principal” and founder of Positively Beaming, who brings over 30 years of experience in education and a refreshingly honest perspective on leadership, burnout, and career choice. Drawing on her own journey and her book Teach, Lead or Leave , Jenny unpacks why so many educators feel stuck, the guilt that surrounds leaving, and how to tell the difference between a tough season and a role that no longer fits. We explore her Energy–Impact Matrix and the six possible pathways beyond “stay or go,” offering practical, values-led guidance for educators who want sustainable careers they can truly enjoy.
