D&AD Graduate Academy Day 5 - Confidence

I've just pitched the idea with the rest of my group, Knock Knock, about using humour as a process for creativity. In front of top industry creatives. In a Boardroom. At Iris Nation. And it wasn't scary. I wouldn't have been able to do that confidently last week. I think that that pretty much sums up my week at the D&AD Graduate Academy.

It has improved my confidence so much. From the Spring Project teaching us how to be more confident at the beginning of the week, I found it much easier to work in a group as I had the confidence to share my ideas and thoughts, without feeling intimidated, which is something I was initially nervous and worried about. I think it also has to do with our group dynamics and how we got on so well and made eachother laugh which created a comfortable environment so that we could all share our ideas without feeling intimidated. And that's exactly what our presentation was about. Visit our blog here

The experience that I've had this week has been so valuable and I feel incredibly lucky to have been given this opportunity. As I've said from Day 1, I really feel like I needed this experience and now feel confident that I can go and allow my creative brilliance to shine at any agency where I do an internship. And we've still got an afternoon to go! I don't want it to end!
