what are the roles I would like to have in it?
when I try to picture me as a professional, I always see myself as part of a small and strongly bonded community. So my visionary role can be analysed on two levels:
one in direct contact with my closed circle and the the one of me out to the world.

without the intention of putting my whole cv in this space, i think it will help the process to hav a rough overview of my experiences so far..

reflection on past experiences¶
Reflecting on my past experiences, I’ve realized that my best moments in terms of creative work were when I was a student. I had no limits, a flexible schedule, and worked with a team that was complementary in terms of skills and energies, allowing for comfortable communication. However, creative work hasn’t been as successful in my professional experiences. I discovered that my strengths there lie in supervision, people management, and communication. This realization was surprising given my antisocial tendencies, but I found that taking on a role with clear objectives and goals helped me communicate more effectively.
Considering these past experiences, there are a few possible futures for my professional life. I could focus on finding a role that allows for creative work in a similar environment to that of a student, such as seeking out positions that offer flexibility and collaboration with a chosen team.
Ultimately, I know that my past experiences and strengths can inform my future choices, but they don’t necessarily limit them. I may find that a combination of both creative work and management is the right fit for me or that a completely different path emerges.
