Reflecting back to 1st year's PPP

What I found difficult during 1st year:
  • Talking about myself 
  • Talking about my work
  • The presentation
  • Trying to brand myself
  • The workload 
  • Finding the time to go to exhibitions
I will try to be more confident about myself and my work that I present to others and answer questions that may be asked. I will organise my time efficiently so that my workload is not overwhelming and make time to go out to exhibitions for my professional practise.
