Life & Creativity

WEEK TWO: I feel that week two is the real first week of work.. We're finally getting to experience the true essence of SHM and take on different responsibilities. I feel really lucky to go home everyday and say all the assignments I got to do at work, and feel proud that SHM allows us to step up. Talking to other people on co-op I feel bad for the different mindless tasks they are stuck doing all day while I am here getting to do just as much as the full timers.. I am excited to get to know more about everyone and am glad that everyone is so approachable and eager to help us out!

When it comes to myself I am pretty confident most of the time- this is usually because I stay within my comfort zone (which lucky for me is pretty big!) One thing I am coming to see in my two weeks here thus far is how I need to get comfortable with my creativity! Not to say that i'm not creative, but my confidence is always significantly lower when it comes to "artsy" type projects. I think that in two weeks however I can already feel a change. So far in one week I got to do two different projects that involved design and creativity.. I realized how uncomfortable and lost I felt when they were assigned!! ..Luckily Christine gave me some great guidance and I understood them better and became more confident. I know this is the hardest part of marketing for me and I hope that if I keep doing more projects and allowing myself to feel a bit uncomfortable at times, I can see that the risks I take might make for a better result! I also feel that I have three great girls that have already given me input & confidence (thanks team =] ) that have already helped me so much in two weeks. I hope to start thinking out of the box and unleashing my creative side!
