‘Your Potential Your Success’ (YPYS) 2-day personal development programme aims to give you the chance to look at who you are and how you can make the most of your potential.
The training programme gives you the opportunity to:
- Look newly at who you are as a person and what drives you in life
- Explore new perspectives and ways of looking at things
- Improve your public speaking and develop your communication skills
- Create powerful new relationships with friends, family, and professionals
Students tell us:
-‘I found the experience opened my eyes more to the reality of my situation at University’
-‘This allowed my confidence to grow in my class. It helped me focus on my goals’
-‘A great and unique opportunity... I would definitely recommend it to anyone who feels lost’
-‘The training gave me an insight on how powerful your voice can be and how your thoughts can impact your views and mindset’
-‘I would strongly recommend this to students. It truly is a life-changing experience completely transforming my approach to life’
-‘I thought that [the trainers] were absolutely amazing... I felt they listened to me, they saw me and said what I needed to hear. They have left a large impact in my life and for that I am grateful’
