Hey, fellow educator!

Glad you are here!

Hi, I’m Cory.

After more than a decade in education, I found myself in the same place you might be right now: burned out, questioning whether I could really keep going until retirement, and wondering if I had any skills that would matter outside the classroom.

For a long time, I thought teaching was the only thing I was qualified to do. But then came the turning points—the conversations, opportunities, and mindset shifts that showed me my classroom skills were not only valuable, they were exactly what organizations and businesses were looking for. That realization changed everything.

Now, I help teachers like you make that same shift. Pivoting Teachers is here to:

  • Show you the wide range of possibilities outside the classroom.

  • Help you see how your teaching skills translate directly into corporate or entrepreneurial roles.

  • Give you practical tools to build confidence and take your next steps.

My goal is simple: that you walk away from here believing you can do this—and with a roadmap for how to make it happen.

If you’re reading this and feeling skeptical, nervous, or even a little guilty for wanting something different, please hear this: You are not alone, and you are not abandoning your calling. You’re simply stepping into a new chapter where your skills, heart, and experience can thrive in fresh ways.

Welcome to Pivoting Teachers.
