Having the courage to say No | Katherine Mulski | TEDxLangleyED

In her talk, Katherine expresses the beautiful struggle she finds herself in on a daily basis; balancing the worlds of the professional and the personal and all that fits in-between.
How do we then, negotiate the personal parts of our lives and leave time for it when it is incredibly hard to say 'no' to the obligations and myriad of commitments that certainly can impact health and overall passion for other interests outside of our professional ones?
This talk will hopefully help shed light through Katherine's sharing of her own personal narrative for fellow educators and stakeholders.
Ultimately having the courage to say no; to allow more space for personal time, is what may possibly necessitate change in order to attend to what can be identified to us as the most important: our well-being, managing our stress as professionals but most of all, the journey we take learning to know ourselves.
Katherine Mulski is currently working as a bilingual Instructional Coach for the Langley School District. Her passion for working with teachers includes work with SFU as an Inservice Faculty Associate teaching Graduate Diploma in Education programs. She has taught in Trinidad/ Tobago and South Korea and advocates for purposeful leveraging of technology and fun in the classroom. Katherine is studying as an EdD candidate and hopes to focus her research around self-study and the impact of multi-teaching roles in Education. You can find her fly-fishing or enjoying walks with her husband and English Bulldog, Nora. Her ability to 'Mulski'task is always a work in progress.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Somehow stumbled across this as I was in a rabbit hole of watching Tedtalks. She was my grade 6 teacher - I couldn’t believe it when I saw it pop up on my phone screen. I am now 22 and she taught me 10 years ago (which in itself is a crazy thought). Madame Mulski was the most influential teacher I had in elementary school, making so much time for us to create and do things outside the box rather than learn in a conventional way. Specifically remember her taking us outside when we were crazy to throw around a rubber chicken and then leaving every day after school on her neon green Kawasaki motorcycle that matched her nails.
Madame Mulski if you ever read this, you are awesome and made a true impact on me and my classmates - especially during a time of our lives where we were TERRIBLE 😂. Not only did you influence me then but 10 years later you have showed up to do it again.
All the best,
Lauren
