Business Support
How can we as Business Support help students to be stretched and challenged? Is it just through the simple act of encouraging students to have good time keeping and attendance or are there other ways that you help students to be stretched and challenged that you can share on the Pass it on 14 padlet wall this month?
As Business Support, do we set ourselves new challenges? Arina Nikitina, author of 4WD System, How to take Consistent Action, writes in her blog, ‘A challenge by definition is a little bit above and beyond what you can do right now’ and that there are five steps towards taking on a challenge:
1. Have a desire for change
2. Believe you can change
3. Find a destination
4. Get a plan
Your plan needs to start where you are, end where you want to be, and fill in the middle with steps leading to achievable improvement. This means the steps need to be close enough together that you can get to each one from the one before- like stepping stones across a river- if they’re too far apart, you will get wet!

you uncomfortable and nothing that makes
you uneasy” Catherine Caine
