Unit 1 Part A

Who i am?

One years ago, one of my university essay required to discover 4 myself by johari window(Open self, blind self, hidden self and unknown self). In my view, it is one of the most meaningful and the biggest impact uni work in my university’s learning experience, but it is also a whole life topic. I am keeping discover the answer which is so complex that relative to the relationship with others and the value to the world.

There has few words should be the key of my character —– highly sensitive, curious, insecure，focus on the goal, aspirant，arrogance and I am a completist. My potential value of action might be ‘the best practice mold’

My completist lead to a highly standard and goal for my performance，while my insecure lead to scared to make any mistakes in my working, I am sensitive to others feeling and potential  threaten of relationship.  If without goals in my life, I would be very upset; if without planning and calendar in a project, I would be very nervous.   Sometime, I live in my own world and believe nobody could to understand me, I lack for the trust in people, it is the reason why my friends feel aspirant of mine.

I believe my personal character could to be improved, if I learn artistic world, because it could to improved the way of thinking, also could to  help people understand me better.

What did you choose for your artistic challenge and why?


In my career development plan, i would to be a CHO or a impressive trainer after 25 years, i good at organising people, in the past,  I showed the intelligent leadership at the Vice-chairperson of college’s travel club, our member recruitment’s resulting in recruitment of 60 members in a 300 students’ college.

As the same time, i have got a good background of my education and has good academic understating of management, for example, i knew that 4P’s  strategic,  Product, Price, Place and Promotion: who is the project aimed at;  What benefit will customers expect, where will the project will locate, how will artist promoted the project. These knowledge are quite basic and help to  put on a project you must analysis the needs and status of background.

But i will be able to develop ways of thinking creatively  and apply that to her business practice. and here i had the challenge to develop as an organization’s creatively trainer.
