TEACHERS OFTEN BECOME BURNED OUT AND DESPERATE TO MAKE A CAREER CHANGE
BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START.

 

Does this sound familiar?

  • You love teaching, but you’re emotionally drained, underappreciated, undervalued, underpaid 

  • You take your work home with you - physically and emotionally
          
  • Your job lacks freedom and flexibility. You can’t go to appointments, lunch, or even the bathroom during your work day

  • Your job is harder when you get sick. Sometimes you have to take unpaid days when you’re sick, not to mention all the prep work you have to do to be gone for a day

  • Your job lacks upward mobility, resources, and a general sense of safety

  • You feel "teacher guilt" for wanting to leave the professional because you care about your students and want them to succeed. 

 

You've decided you're ready to leave teaching, but you're thinking:

 

  • I don’t even know where to start!

  • What jobs can I even do after a teaching career? And where do I find them?

  • Even if I can find them, I don’t have the qualifications and experience listed on the jobs I see. I don’t understand the corporate jargon!

 You deserve better and it's possible.

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Holly Garlow

I help teachers leave their burned-out lives behind and find new careers using their extensive skills and experience. I know how many jobs you do in just one role and how much work it is because I was there myself.

As a former high school teacher, I am familiar with the resentment loop you might be experiencing. You've reached your limit, yet your love for your students keeps you going. This passion for teaching compels you to stay, but you struggle to maintain a work-life balance. Rinse and repeat.

I left teaching in 2014 without knowing what I’d be doing next. Through courage, risk, and uncertainty, my journey eventually led me to Instructional Design. Since leaving the teaching profession, I’ve been an Instructional Designer for four companies, each with some form of advancement, and I’ve never looked back.

"Holly's guidance and feedback made all the difference in my shift from classroom teacher to instructional designer.  Her industry knowledge and experience gave me the confidence I needed in my job search.  She saved me so much time and energy by narrowing my focus and "clearing the roadblocks" when I ran into trouble.  She is kind, clear, and encouraging with her suggestions.  She genuinely wants to help you be successful!"
