These are the beliefs and principles that are important to you. They guide your decisions and actions. Examples include honesty and justice.

Recognise that you are not alone on your journey and that you either have, or can develop, a support system. This system, which can contain peers, friends, mentors and guides, can provide you with resources, guidance, and an outlook to the world that is different from yours. It's an important part of your journey. Examples include your community, friend group, family, co-workers and even RSA Guides. RSA Spark encourages learners to partner with RSA Guides at times when you, or your team, need some additional expert knowledge or support for your learning, or for creating and developing your ideas. Learners older than 18 can request an RSA Guide using the ‘Request Form’ in your Dashboard. Visit the RSA Guides section for more information on this process.

These are the events and lessons that have shaped you. They provide insight and wisdom for your journey. For example, completing a race, having a child, coaching a soccer team, starting a business or grieving the loss of an important pet or person.

These are your abilities and talents. Understanding your skills helps you know what you’re good at and how you can make the most impact. Examples include foundational skills like reading and writing, vocational skills like accounting, cooking or specific software knowledge, or transferable skills like time management and critical thinking.
