Designed for the classroom, blended and remote learning, the Persona Life Skills e-learning platform is hosted in the cloud.

E-learning your students will use
– for life.

The personality insights approach at its heart makes Persona Life Skills unique. Our social, practical and memorable framework helps students understand that everyone has a mix of personality styles influencing how we think, communicate and behave – and that this often changes over time, especially when we are young.

 

Our technology enhanced curriculum guides students in using the framework – which is built upon solid behavioural science research evidence – to develop social and emotional life skills, helping them adapt to different situations and build more productive relationships, which in turn boosts their wellbeing.

 

Improved wellbeing means more agency and purpose, better academic attainment, greater employability and more life satisfaction.
