Week 2 - Roleplay feedback
Productive day today. Iāve learned a lot from todayās role-play call, which really pushed me out of my comfort zone. Speaking on the spot is something Iāve always struggled with, I often find myself going blank or losing my train of thought. Todayās session was a Dragons Den style exercise (Iāve never done one before and was panicking deep down). We had to pitch a social media app to a customer over the phone. Since I have phone anxiety, this was definitely a challenge for me. Itās something Iāve noticed at work too, I tend to take calls in a meeting room rather than out in the open, because I worry about making mistakes and looking dumb. Thatās why Iām really glad I took part today. I received some great feedback. I tend to over-talk after asking a question instead of giving the other person space to respond. Thatās something Iāll be actively working on going forward. Overall, it was a great session and Iām genuinely proud of myself for stepping up and pushing through something I find difficult. šš¾
