I think my preferred learning style(s) are: 1. 2. 3. This process is important as it enables you to reflect on how you think you learn best which will then influence the types of professional development opportunities you should seek out. There are many online learning style assessments you can undertake that may help you to identify your preferred learning style if you are struggling to identify it yourself. The below links are to three assessments that you may find useful: www.how-to-study.com/learning-style-assessment personalitymax.com/learning-styles-test/ vark-learn.com/the-vark-questionnaire/?p=results Activity 4: Expanding Your ‘Comfort Zone’ This activity aims to increase your adaptability by challenging you to step out of your ‘comfort zone’. Adaptability is about more than just being flexible, it is about being open to new challenges, even if they are outside your usual perceived capabilities. To be truly adaptable you should not make pre-conceived judgements about your own ability by thinking, ‘I could never do that’ or ‘that will be too hard for me’ . Your adaptability is linked to your level of resilience and emotional intelligence. To improve your adaptability you need to continually develop and increase the things you are capable of doing. Your ‘comfort zone’ limits your ability to achieve this. Your ‘comfort zone’ is where you find everything easy, where nothing risky ever happens and where you feel comfortable. Outside of your ‘comfort zone’ is where learning, development and growth happens. Diagram 8.3 below explains this concept in more detail.
