The Things I Would Like to Get Better At resource is a reflective activity that helps young people think about the personal skills, habits, and abilities they want to improve. It presents a wide range of life‑skills - from organisation and communication to fitness, confidence, social skills, and wellbeing - and encourages cadets to identify areas they want to develop. It supports goal‑setting, self‑awareness, and planning by guiding cadets to consider the time, effort, and steps needed to achieve their chosen goals.
How To Use
Look through the list and choose the skills you want to improve or new things you’d like to try. Once you’ve picked them, prioritise them from easiest to hardest so you can see which goals might take more time and effort.
Then choose one goal to focus on and write down the steps you’ll need to take to achieve it, making sure your timescales are realistic and flexible. This activity helps you take control of your own development and understand how small steps lead to long‑term progress.
