In many studies, social connection- more than wealth, intelligence or extracurricular activity- social connection is the strongest predictor of:

Academic performance;
Wellbeing;
Long-term career performance.

(Achor, S. Big Potential, Random House, London, 2018.)

Our social connections build our relationships. Our relationships are a sum of the short-term interactions we have with other people. These can either be life-giving, or life depleting (Dr Jane Dutton, University of Michigan).

Stronger Connections (for secondary schools) and Positive Peer Relationships (for primary schools) workshops are about building personal and social skills to enhance the quantity and quality of our interpersonal interactions.

Each workshop has two distinct sessions that each run for approximately 90 minutes. They are delivered at your school by Unleashing Personal Potential, to groups of up to 100 students.

If you would like to know what skills are developed and which important topics are covered in the workshops,

I'm convinced that now, more than ever, for the human race to move towards flourishing, we need to move:

From social isolation, to socialisation...
From social distancing, to social connectedness...
From text messaging and online interaction to real world, face to face relationships...
From division and difference, to interconnectedness and equality...
From putting others down, to rising by lifting others.

If you’d like to have us teach these important skills to your students, get in touch.

Sincerely,
Luke McKenna and the team at Unleashing Personal Potential
