ABSTRACT

As a facilitator of enhanced ‘self-awareness’ I believe you can make a big difference in students’ lives, and of course apply the same insights in your own life. This example, taken from a second-year student’s reflective account, is typical of those who have experienced a SOAR module:

I feel I am in a much stronger position than I was only 3 months ago when I began this module. I have realized that managing my career is an ongoing process that requires constant reflection, something I was ignorant of before . . . I have made great progress in understanding my character, what skills I possess, and which I need to work at. I feel this opportunity for self-reflection and the skills of self-analysis I learned have given me a great advantage over my peers who have not completed this module.
