Another assignment from Seth Godin’s Freelancer Course on Udemy. This one is on finding your unique voice.
Words that I feel exemplify what I’m trying to do with my digital offerings include:
- Accessible
- Adaptable
- Bohemian
- Caring
- Challenging
- Confident
- Dependable
- Energetic
- Forward-thinking
- Friendly
- Idealistic
- Intelligent
- Intertwined
- Kind
- Knowledgeable
- Observant
- Organized
- Passionate
- Patient
- Powerful
- Progressive
- Reflective
- Responsive
- Sharing
- Synchronous
- Trustworthy
- Understanding
To express these, mainly in regard to the Enrichment Project as that is the one I’ve done the most work on in the last five years, I’d like to offer the following.
- Understand that each person walks into any group they will be leading with their own fixed set of cultural and educational knowledge as well as experience. If they do not work to add to this, over time the activities and stories they offer others will become “common knowledge” and the programming will become stagnant. By challenging oneself to learn new things, they can offer more and keep those they are leading engaged and willing to participate.
- Challenge others to start their own adventure. My digital offerings are part of that adventure, allowing others to take the first step in a journey of self-discovering and expression. As they take the journey, others will benefit from their new experiences as well.
- Make free badge programs and supplements accessible to help others create their own path, intertwining their knowledge and experience with new ideas and concepts that can be used when working with others.
- Providing ways to share things so they are not only accessible to start, but add to them so that enjoying one digital item often leads to a more open mind and expands what can be learned and, ultimately, shared with those people they volunteer / work with.
- Ask what others think of my digital offerings and take their comments / considerations into account with the final product. Also, leaving things open-ended so they can be updated in the future.
