133: I Love My Job, but It's Killing Me

Lesley Moffat has taught high school band for over thirty years in the Pacific Northwest. Her ensembles have performed all over the US and in Canada, including four performances at Carnegie Hall.

Following decades of chronic illness and exhaustion that were the result of the stress that comes with running a band program that included over 300 students, she revamped her teaching strategies to support a healthier balance and lifestyle.

Her first book, I Love My Job but It’s Killing Me, became an international Best Seller as teachers all over the world recognized their story in hers. Now on a mission to help other music teachers learn how to balance the responsibilities of the greatest job on earth with their own lives, she founded the mPowered Music Educator Academy, where she runs Band Director Boot Camp, a program designed to help music teachers build successful programs without burning out. A FREE download of the book is available for a limited time: mPoweredEducator.com/contact

Fun Fact: Lesley, her husband, father, and all three of her children have performed at Carnegie Hall.
