Teach, Lead or Leave is a very timely and incredibly important book for all educators to read! During everyone’s career as educators, there are times when we need to answer the question ‘What do you do when you just can’t do it anymore?’ Jenny has written a brilliant book packed with personal shares and practical research to show us the sustainable way to live and love our lives as educators. An uplifting read in navigating your own journey or a powerful connection point for helping professionals who work with educators.

Teach, Lead or Leave is one of the most honest and necessary books written for educators in a generation. It captures, with rare precision, the restless internal dialogue so many teachers and leaders quietly carry – the fatigue, the purpose, the joy, and the question of what comes next. This book does something extraordinary: it gives readers permission to pause, breathe, and choose with intention. Whether they stay, step up, or step into something new, they will finish these pages feeling understood and with renewed clarity about how to take their best self to work, and bring that self home again.
Matthew Johnston, National President ASEPA
Jenny Cole has written the book every educator needs the moment they start quietly asking ‘Is this still for me?’ Teach, Lead or Leave is honest, encouraging, and deeply practical – a coaching conversation in book form. The magic lies in the wisdom Jenny shares and in the questions she asks – the ones that many of us avoid. Page by page, this book helps you reconnect with who you are, what you value, and what you want next. Whether you choose to stay, lead or leave Jenny guides you from breakdown to breakthrough and helps you take your next step with clarity, conviction and confidence.
