Today we had our first seminar for PPP and started the session with discussing and pinpointing our worries about our own personal practice
We wrote down our thoughts on post it notes and did several exercises in order to pin point our upmost worry about the course ourselves and our future. I personally thought that:
- My Confidence
- Current Design Skills &
- Poor Networking Skills
...are the three main barriers I have and the three main things that are holding me back. Especially not having a lot of confidence in myself is making me scared to explore more and be more assertive and trusting of my own capabilities. This also makes me doubt myself a lot and compare myself to others in the course further demotivating me and making me scared about my future. Furthermore, I think it's also the reason why I think my current design skills aren't good enough and why I'm scared of networking, is because I think right now, I'm not good enough.
Going up and looking at what others wrote and voting one that encapsulates the biggest barrier I have kind of makes me feel relieved in a way, that I'm not alone and that other people also have the same worries as I do. Talking about it with the class and hearing other people's thoughts also made me feel better as it kind of gave me some validation that actually, maybe I'm doing okay, we're all doing okay.
