We empower educators to build InnerFit kids, and become winners in the game of life.
A person’s life course is set at an early age, but interventions before the age of 10 provide an 80% chance of making a positive impact.
InnerFit helps teachers make that impact with an easy-to-implement, integrated curriculum-linked approach, that teaches and builds the fundamental life skills, resilience, attitude and employability skills that our kids need to succeed in life.
But let’s not forget the teachers
An educators life is full and varied but it can easily be overwhelming.
Our Energise seminars & workshop highlights that time is only effective when it intersects with available energy.
Identifying our sources of energy, energy losses, leakages and potential gains enables teachers to develop a plan to utilise time more effectively and avoid overwhelm.
Becoming guardians of personal energy and staff culture are keys to well-being and positively impact classroom performance.
Our Energise keynotes empower teachers to evaluate their energy levels, assess and plan forward, preparing them for their best life outcomes as adults.
InnerFit helps primary school teachers drive positive change. Our values-based approach is centred around student well-being, and uses the language and experience of cross curricula activities, including game play.
