Heart Community

Dr. Naesha Parks delivered a day of professional learning to induction level teachers in the Eastern region of Georgia for the East Georgia Learning Resources System (GLRS). She reminded them to teach from the heart, to remember their why and to believe that what they do matters to each student. Her inspirational presentation impacted each teacher who attended in such a way that teachers grew spiritually, emotionally, and professionally. At the end of the day, they each shared how the presentation impacted them both personally and professionally. I highly recommend Dr. Parks services for your organization. She truly has a way of connecting with her audiences and inspiring them to be the best they can be.

These sessions are well-planned, well-executed, and much-needed. The topics speak to true leadership of people, not just management of duties. Sessions leave me feeling empowered and prepared to put practical solutions in place.

My leadership team and I have been brainstorming ways to support the teachers on a mental health level. I will share some of the thoughts that I learned today. Today's session gave me some ideas on choosing our next set of words for Teacher Clarity.

This initiative facilitates collaboration among APs across the CSRA, fostering relationships that can be advantageous throughout our careers. I have discovered that whenever I encounter a challenge, I can connect with fellow APs in the CSRA to inquire if they have faced similar issues and to learn about their strategies for resolution.
This experience has been highly rewarding, and I appreciate the opportunity for collaboration with my colleagues. Dr. Parks excels in facilitating this initiative, consistently offering inspiring insights and encouragement.

The session was very beneficial as many of the teachers in my building are beginning to feel burned out. I learned a few strategies I plan to use to support teachers through the second half of the year.
I absolutely LOVED this session, 10/10. The session topic and strategies were needed!

The Heart Feels First

A Story of Revival and Recovery

Imagine experiencing the joy of childbirth only to have your world turned upside down nine days later. This is the true story of Naesha Parks. After blacking out, she went to the hospital where a blood clot was found, but doctors soon discovered that she was also experiencing a rare and deadly spontaneous coronary artery dissection, where two of the arteries of her heart had completely split. While on the operating table, Naesha died.

 

Doctors worked to revive her, but were not optimistic about her outcome. After being in a medically induced coma with her chest open for nine days, finally, slowly, she started to improve.

 

Through her own account and through the contributions of friends, family, doctors, and surgeons, The Heart Feels First: A Story of Revival and Recovery is a unique and unprecedented look at what it means to survive and witness a miracle and how life finds a way to transition into a new normal.
