Skills I’m Building

Skills grow through experience, practice and reflection. This is where I can keep track of the abilities I want to develop, try different ways of improving them and notice how they change over time.

Try. Practise. Reflect. Improve.

How Skills Grow

Skills grow through practice. I can try something, practise it, learn from feedback, reflect on what happened and try again.

Skill Reflection

When I work on a skill, I can ask myself:

01

What did I try?

02

What felt easier or harder than I expected?

03

What feedback or experience helped me?

04

What should I try next?
