Our Amazing Character Strengths
Our framework comprises 6 core character strengths groups: the strengths of Head, Heart, Action, Community, Meaning and Self-Regulation.
We bring them to life through stories of diverse role models. From Martin Luther King Jr. to Malala Yousafzai, Ada Lovelace to Stormzy – our Amazing People demonstrate how ordinary individuals use their character strengths to achieve remarkable results.
A great tool for circle or form time to start important discussions in the classroom.
Discover more diverse role models with our Contemporary Corner. An ever-expanding collection of Amazing People where teachers are given mini-bios of contemporary leaders, creatives, activists and much more along with critical thinking discussion questions to start the day.
Embed Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) at

We believe you canʼt ‘be itʼ if you canʼt ‘see it.ʼ Our stories of extraordinary people and ready-to-use resources demonstrate that our differences – visible or invisible – are our assets too.
