Sarah Burgess faces the challenge of taking up her first deputy headship post at St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School in Blackpool.
A few weeks into the term and she calls in life coach Gladeana McMahon to help her stop working 12 to 14 hour days so she can spend some quality time with her boyfriend. Adding management tasks to an already fully committed teaching life she feels has tipped the balance.
With marriage plans in the offing and the desire to start a family as well as the long term aim of headship, she will have to listen hard to what Gladeana has to say if she is going to stay in control.
