They discuss Laura's transition from teaching to entrepreneurship, the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the importance of creativity in education. Laura shares insights on franchising her business, the role of 'inventioneers', and how teachers can leverage their skills in new ventures. The conversation emphasises the need for teachers to explore alternative career paths while maintaining their passion for education. If you would like to enquire about trauma-informed training, please contact Tem at tem@helpingteachersthrive.com or book a call: https://calendly.com/tem-helpingteachersthrive/60 KEY TAKEAWAYS: Teachers possess valuable transferable skills that can be applied in business. The importance of creativity in education is often overlooked in traditional teaching environments. Leaving teaching doesn't mean abandoning it forever; teachers can return if needed. The role of 'inventioneers' allows teachers to maintain their passion while running their own businesses. Teachers should assess their priorities and find opportunities that align with their values. BEST MOMENTS: \"You don't start at the salary that you're leaving teaching at. It's a business, you have to build it up.\" \"We discovered that schools didn't really want online for the most part. They wanted us to come in in person.\" \"Sitting down and looking at my year ahead and thinking about what's important to me. And that's family and health and lots of other things as well as business.\" VALUABLE RESOURCES: https://www.inventorsandmakers.com/franchising https://www.facebook.com/laura.carr2 https://patreon.com/thehelpingteachersthrivehub?utm_medium=unknown&utm_sourc…","meta_description":"DESCRIPTION: In this episode, Tem interviews Laura Cross, a former primary school teacher and founder of Inventors and Makers.
