During the long summer holidays, I was interviewed by the lovely Laura Summers for her parenting blog, Laura’s Lovely Blog. Read more about it here.

If you’re feeling exhausted with all the Zoom meetings you’re logging into but frustrated that you don’t seem to be doing much, you’re not alone. Talking to a screen is so much harder than talking to a room full of people face to face. Sadly the age of the endless Zoom calls seems to be here so it’s important that we find ways to deal with the tiredness before it overwhelms us completely.

Our current working environment not only requires us to have great computer skills, we’re also expected to be adept at being heard clearly via online conferencing calls which are now the norm.

But presenting well, with clear audible tones, whilst appearing confident in this fast moving, social-distanced online world isn’t as easy as it seems. At least, not for everyone.

It’s vital to remember that you are still the same person and actually you’re a person with more insight, having raised your children and dealt with the juggle of childcare and life.

So here are 5 habits to develop to help get you back to your future.

As reported in The Times, online lessons and virtual schooling seem to be turning our children into ‘Zoom Zoombies’ and it’s seriously tiring them out. As a coach, specialising in boosting confidence in children, I can totally see why children are becoming so exhausted. The blog explores what teachers, parents and children can do about it.

Private schools will often interview children after entrance exams to assess whether they are suitable for the school. The interview is just as important as the entrance exam so it’s important that you’re children are confident and ready to answer some questions. How to succeed in a school interview? Check out my top tips below.

I couldn’t be more happy for each and every child and their parents who took my advice and sat back, didn’t stress, didn’t push their child (which was hard at times but persevered) and the results proved that my style of teaching in a relaxed environment does work :) Well done everyone.
