Today is Try me Thursday which is all about challenging yourself to come out of your comfort zone.
Here are a few of our Graduate+ resources for you to try which will help you find out more about yourself!
We started off the day with our Quote of the day:
“You can’t spell challenge with change. If it doesn’t challenge you it won’t change you.”
Complete your Potential.ly profile to discover yourself - P.S. This is one of the activities on the Get Ahead Bingo.
At Graduate+ we have a passion for personality, everyone is unique, and we all have our own identity, let’s unlock yours with Potential.ly, a strength based personality indicator! It is an online platform which is designed to help you gain a deeper insight into why you do what you do, it’s a lot deeper than being labelled an introvert or extrovert.
The profile takes only 15 minutes to complete, you’ll answer a series of short questions, and in doing this you’ll be presented with a unique PDF report of your personality and traits. The best bit, within the report you’ll get to see what your strength areas are, along with your stretch areas to develop your skills moving forward.
Once you have completed your Potential.ly profile, you can add this as an activity to your Bronze award!
The Graduate+ team would love to see what you have been up to during Welcome Week, please send us your selfies and tag us #BCUGraduatePlus on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
