At Stepping to Success, we offer a variety of bespoke resources, specifically designed to meet the emotional needs of children, young people, and adults.

 

Our resources encourage individuals to explore and develop a range of Soft Skills and Core Values. Soft Skills are non-academic skills responsible for the development and sustainment of emotional, social, and mental wellbeing.

​

Our resources are based on key components. These Key Components are key attributes which build resilience and form our emotional well-being.

Many successes and failures in life are attributed to the development (or lack of development in one or more of these areas).

Using these key components as a guide-by asking “Do I have enough of...?” Or “Am I practising enough of...?” will enable people to identify areas which need development; and to implement changes to specific parts of their lives to ensure happiness, safety, and success.

 

 

 

These Soft Skills include, but are not limited to:

 

• Self-awareness- understanding self and taking ownership and responsibility for behaviour choices

• Self-identity – who I am and what my purpose is

• Self-esteem- awareness of self-worth, self-value, and self-belief

• Critical thinking – to consider different perspectives and make critical assessments e.g. challenging one-sided information

• Foresight- to think ahead of what might happen when behaviour choices are made; to think before an action or reaction: is this safe? Is this legal?  (Contextual Safeguarding)

• Personal power-awareness of personal rights and the confidence to exercise those personal rights (e.g. saying no to negative peer pressure or undue influences)

• Self-discipline- the ability to decide and commit to carrying out appropriate action, even in the face of internal, external or undue pressure or influence

• Emotional literacy- the ability to identify, manage and express emotions appropriately (such as anger, frustration, fear)

• Empathy- Identify and understand the impact that personal choices of behaviour may have on others; in addition to feeling and understanding the experiences of others

• Resilience- the ability to bounce back from adversity or setbacks and turn vulnerabilities into strengths

• Self-confidence- confidence in oneself and in one’s powers and abilities

• Problem solving- the ability to look for and find solutions to problems e.g. manage conflict

• Effective communication- the ability to listen and appropriately converse and interact with others

​

Our resources aim to foster, support, inspire, and motivate children, young people, and adults; through their journey of gaining independence, personal growth, development, and change.

Stepping to Success' resources are a lifeline and survival kit for all.
