“If we march into that village and we start trying to persecute people for using poison, something that's very illegal, nobody's going to talk to us. We're not going to find out where the poison came from. We're not going to be able to shut anything down. We should take the approach that people are using poison because they're desperate, because they see no other alternative.” – Andrew Stein Andrew Stein is a wildlife ecologist who spent the past 25 years studying human carnivore conflict from African wild dogs and lions in Kenya and Botswana to leopards and hyenas in Namibia. His work has long focused on finding ways for people and predators to coexist.

Send us a text In this episode of Teachers in Transition , host Vanessa Jackson explores the concept of branching out rather than narrowing focus in career transitions.

Vanessa emphasizes the importance of rediscovering curiosity, exploring new interests, and allowing career transitions to unfold organically. Joining Vanessa is Elizabeth “Liz” Houston, a former teacher who successfully transitioned into a career as a Virtual Assistant and Website Designer. Liz shares her journey from burnout in the classroom to building her own business, discussing the steps she took to leave teaching, save for her career change, and discover her passion for web design. She provides insights into what Virtual Assistants do, the skills teachers bring to the role, and how aspiring Virtual Assistants can find their first clients. Liz also discusses her business growth, the balance between Virtual Assistant work and web design, and the possibility of mentoring others into this career path.

1 Teachers in Transition – Episode 243: Stop Chasing Jobs: How to Attract Opportunities and Take Control of Your Career Transition 15:57
Send us a text In this episode of Teachers in Transition , host Vanessa Jackson shares a humorous and insightful story about navigating mishaps as a musician—specifically, how a well-intentioned plan to play Handel’s Messiah on the organ went hilariously off the rails due to an unexpected tech glitch. With laughter and grace, Vanessa reminds listeners that when things go wrong in public, sometimes the best approach is to step back, admire the "egg you've laid," and move forward. In the second segment, Vanessa introduces the concept of a Prime Directive for Life —a guiding principle that helps simplify decision-making and bring clarity to priorities. Using a memorable story about teaching her daughter to drive, she explores how having a core rule—like "don’t hit anything"—can make even complex choices easier. She then challenges listeners to develop their own Prime Directive, one that keeps them focused on what truly matters. Finally, Vanessa dives into the fifth step out of the classroom: Attract . After deciding to leave teaching, clarifying strengths, building job search materials, and refining skills, transitioning teachers may still struggle to land a role. The key? Attracting opportunities by positioning yourself as a subject matter expert. Vanessa outlines practical ways to build visibility and credibility in a new field—writing LinkedIn posts, engaging in industry groups, volunteering, and even creating opportunities through consulting or entrepreneurship. By shifting from job seeker to industry contributor, educators can open new doors and confidently step into their next career.

Send us a text In this episode of Teachers in Transition , Vanessa Jackson explores the mindset of optimism and pessimism, how these perspectives shape our decisions, and how they influence career transitions. With a mix of humor, self-reflection, and insightful analysis, she shares personal anecdotes about her own tendencies, from hoarding supplies and skills to embracing lifelong learning. Vanessa begins by discussing the nature of optimism and pessimism, illustrating how they exist on a continuum rather than as absolute states. She introduces a quadrant system that categorizes different approaches to expectation and preparedness, helping listeners assess their own outlook. Through an amusing yet thought-provoking analogy of twin siblings—one an extreme optimist and the other a staunch pessimist—she highlights the importance of balance in mindset. Connecting this discussion to the world of education, Vanessa reflects on how teachers naturally develop hoarding tendencies as a survival strategy, ensuring they have the resources necessary to support students. She examines the broader implications of these behaviors, questioning whether they stem from optimism, pessimism, or a mix of both. Additionally, she considers how personal perspectives evolve over time, using the film St. Elmo’s Fire as an example of how shifting experiences reshape perception. In the career transition segment, Vanessa provides a valuable resource by identifying approximately 40 alternative careers that teachers can pursue without returning to school. She emphasizes that teachers already possess transferable skills that are highly valued in other industries. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of their own outlook on life and work, as well as practical strategies for approaching career change with a balanced perspective.

1 Teachers in Transition – Episode 237: Less Noise, More Impact, & Resume Updates that Get You Noticed 17:54
Send us a text This week, Vanessa focuses on managing stress, understanding the impact of yelling, and keeping up with evolving resume trends. Designed for educators transitioning to new career paths, this episode provides actionable insights and practical tips. In Our Segment on Stress Management: Vanessa talks about how yelling, whether literal or metaphorical, can activate stress responses such as fight, flight, freeze, or fawn, leading to feelings of anxiety, guilt, or withdrawal. Recognizing the emotional toll of yelling is essential for maintaining mental health. Strategies to help build resilience are detailed. Career Transition and Job Search: Vanessa advises replacing the “Competencies” section on resumes with a “Highlights” section to showcase 3-4 impactful skills or achievements. Keywords from job descriptions should be bolded to improve visibility in Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). The rise of short-form video resumes as a new standard for job applications is highlighted, encouraging listeners to prepare for this trend. Today's Teacher Hack Vanessa provides a practical hack for becoming comfortable with short-form videos, emphasizing that discomfort with self-viewing on video often stems from natural facial asymmetry and unfamiliarity with mirrored images. With regular practice, individuals can build confidence in their video presentations. Links!
