Early Years Career Paths & Book Launches for Nursery World EYE

I’m delighted to announce that I’m taking on a new position. I’m stepping into the role of editor of Early Years Educator (EYE) supplement, holding the reins while Elly Roberts takes time away to welcome her baby into the world and undertake one of the most important roles of all.

Over the coming months, I’ll be looking to feature: * the latest research impacting the sector (please do drop me a private message if you have something in the pipeline) * newly launched professional books (these will be reviewed by our expert) * early years careers: tell us about your route to qualification for our Student Spotlight Q&A. From early years educator to teacher and into leadership roles - not forgetting #childminders - we want to hear how you’ve progressed and developed your career in the sector. * picture books (new launches will be considered for monthly themed reviews)
 EYE Supplement is published monthly in Nursery World magazine and online. The magazine also has a vibrant online platform, MAG Intered, which my colleague Hannah Crown will be editing.
 I’m really looking forward to getting started and working with contributors old and new. PS I’ll still be freelancing, bringing you insights into #everythingearlyyears #earlyyears #childrenssocialpolicy #send #sendreform #shapingus #caseforearlychilhood #first1001days #earlyyearsinschools #nurserybusiness #beststartinlife #nurseryequipment #earlyyearsoutdoors #PlayisLearning #continousprovision #outdoorlearning #reimaginingeducation #thedisadvantagegap #belongingineducation #readyforlife #childrensrights #startingreception #playistheway #familyhubs #theyouthsector

Senior Women Needed for Career Journey Interviews

Moving from the US to the UK has definitely been a learning experience...the two countries share a lot culturally, but one key difference I really appreciate is the British don't have the same tendency to equate career with identity. When I first arrived in London from the US, I didn’t even realise I was so stressed. I thought that was just adulthood. ⏰ Urgency = importance. ⏰ Calm felt suspicious. ⏰ Being available at all hours was just how things were. ⏰ Obviously you still work on vacation. ⏰ The ping of an email notification causes the blood pressure to spike. But the people I was meeting in London were different... People talked about how much they enjoyed their weekends. Meetings started without apologies for not having worked late. When I met new people, the conversation didn’t immediately turn into an inventory of former employers. I started noticing that people genuinely left work at work. Not in a lazy way. They just had…boundaries. Whoa. I know this can be easier said than done, but for myself, I’ve slowly realised that easing back on my Go-go-go approach has actually made my work better. Turning off the work brain makes sleep come easier and when I come back to work, my thinking is better. When I meet new people, I now ask them about their LIVES, not just their careers. Because we are all so much more than just our job titles. And when emails come in on the weekend? I usually read them and then mark them Unread until Monday. Gone are the days of Email Ping = Tightening Chest of Urgency. Honestly, I know I’ll send a more thoughtful email on Monday morning and the delay is not going to hurt anyone. I’ve still got plenty of American shortcomings, I won’t deny that! And I’m still driven; I still care deeply about my work. But I am grateful to be getting better at letting go of the tendency to equate identity and work, urgency and importance. Moral of the story: regardless of where you live, be less American. Give yourself space to breathe. Give yourself permission to be more than your career. -- P.S. I’m Rachel — leadership coach for people carrying a little too much. I help you get clear, make decisions, and build momentum without doing everything yourself. 🔎 in January, I am looking to interview women in senior roles about their careers: what got them here, where they want to go, what they’d do differently if they could do it all again.

Interview Women in Senior Roles on Career Journeys & Lessons

“I can’t even get an interview for a job I could do in my sleep”. I hear this from a lot of women. I’ve said it a lot myself. If you’re highly qualified and still getting rejected, the problem might not be your experience, but the roles you're prioritising. When the pressure is on to find a job, scarcity starts taking over. Savings feel tighter. Confidence takes a hit. The panic starts to rise. So you do the seemingly sensible thing: you apply for roles beneath your level. Roles you know you could do in your sleep. It may feel safer, but it just feeds the Scarcity Monster. Put yourself in the shoes of the hiring manager. They see your application and immediately know you can run circles around the person leading the team. They don’t see “safe”; they see “risk”. ❌ They worry you’ll be bored. ❌ They assume the pay won’t work. ❌ They wonder what problem you’re really trying to escape. ❌ They question how long you’ll stay once something better appears. So they pass. That rejection feeds the panic. The panic pushes you to apply even further down. And the loop continues. Even if you started out with tons of confidence in your abilities, suddenly you find yourself full of self doubt. I am here to tell you that *your abilities have not changed.* Instead, what has happened is the mounting pressure has you focusing on the wrong thing, seeking "easy" instead of "right fit". But worse than that: It wastes your time and increases the rejection that exacerbates your panic. I know it might feel bonkers to do this but…Hold your level. Focus on roles that match your scope, judgement, and track record. The roles where your experience makes sense and doesn’t cause hiring managers to raise an eyebrow. Making yourself smaller will only make you *feel* smaller. Stand on your experience and hold the line. You’ll feel better about it and you’ll get better results. -- P.S.
