Pastoral Meeting with John

Had a really lovely catch up with John regarding my time on the course and where i consider my practice to be. I went into the session determined to straighten my head out about the lingering issue I have regarding the diversity of my practice.

I came away with the following:

• My diverse skillset is gold dust
• Don't ask too many questions of yourself and enjoy the process of making and becoming OK with who I am
• Use my presence and website as a way to showcase my diversity and individualism
• If I am varied in my practice - show this and have an appropriate tone of voice
• Consider a website that suits - agency website showcase a variety of practitioners portfolios as tiles on one page which then navigate out to their specific portfolio. This layout could work for me and showcase my work as individual projects.
• My communication skills are great - use this to promote myself and begin the discussions regarding my work
• Its time to own who I am and stop fighting it
• Diversity is not a bad thing n industry and means you are well equipped for a variety of purposes primed and ready to go
