Session 1: Reflecting on what makes you stand out: Your strengths and how to identify them  

Have you ever thought about your strengths? These are the things you do well and feel energised by, such as having empathy or being competitive.  

Understanding your strengths can help you to plan your workload better and identify which career routes may suit you best. In this webinar we will explore different strengths and offer you an introduction into how best to identify what your strengths are.
