  • Awareness of their unique strengths and abilities and how to apply them
  • Higher competency around labeling, expressing and regulating emotions
  • A healthier sense of identity and empowerment to be their best self
  • A sense of agency in dealing with challenges and contributing to the world around them
  • Improved relationships, teamwork skills and acceptance of differences
  • The ability to reflect on the impact of their behaviours on themselves and others
  • The ability to set meaningful goals and make more authentic choices
  • Greater capacity for empathy, compassion, resilience and courage
  • The ability to manage stress and move through challenges
  • Recognition of their innate leadership abilities and understanding that everyone is a leader
