The work in schools and at home takes up a significant portion of teachers' lives and therefore greatly influences their quality of life. What can be done when professional life becomes unbalanced? Gabriele Warkus presents self-coaching options using examples and topics from everyday school life. Shifting perspectives, solution-oriented questions, and activating resources lead quickly to small changes that often result in larger ones. Some coaching methods are offered as exercises that make the effects immediately tangible. They assist, for instance, in clarifying current stressors, personal goals, or the overall professional situation. Those who apply the systemic, consistently solution-oriented methods in their school routine quickly learn to tap into their potential and regain joy in their profession.
