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 a registered charity on a mission to transform how we think about mental health, shifting the narrative from deficit and crisis to strength, prevention, and psychological fitness. They create evidence-based programmes, curricula, and training that give young people, school staff, and the adults around children the knowledge, language, and daily habits to build genuine mental resilience. From whole-staff training to five-year school curricula, everything they do is practical, grounded in science, and designed to make a lasting difference not just in the moment, but across a lifetime.
