HM Compact: Learning to dial my strengths up and down
Students revisit their unique strengths and develop a more nuanced understanding of them — recognising that even genuine strengths can sometimes work against us if overused or applied in the wrong context. They explore how to 'dial' their strengths up or down depending on the situation to perform at their best.
Learning Outcomes
Outcome 1:
Review my unique strengths
Outcome 2:
Understand that sometimes my strengths need dialling down to help me be at my best

About the Organisation
Bounce Forward is the UK’s psychological-fitness charity.
We help children and young people — and the adults and environments around them — develop the understanding, skills and shared language to regulate, recover and adapt through challenge, change and everyday life.
Our work brings together mental resilience and emotional wellbeing, shifting the focus upstream: building capability before crisis, rather than waiting for something to go wrong. We translate evidence from psychology, resilience research, cognitive behavioural approaches and positive psychology into practical learning that can be taught, modelled and used in real life.
From evidence-informed curricula and staff development to family support and whole-community approaches, our work recognises that young people do not develop in isolation. What happens around a young person shapes what becomes possible within them.
Everything we create is practical, grounded in evidence and designed to build something that lasts — psychologically fit people and communities, better prepared to meet life.
