First week of the Youth Commission has been hectic, or have I made it that way? I've tried to get everything set up, put a plan in place and now I feel in a much better position than I did last year. Why am I resentful of receiving feedback? I need to learn to accept feedback as a positive thing. Part of the purpose of this is to learn and develop my skills of working with young people, so that next year the OPCC will have a Youth Commission expert who can continue this for the next 2 years.
I have the right attitude, I'm friendly and motivated, but sometimes my motivation can take over my rapport. I need to relax when communicating and be genuinely interested in every single person I interact with. Aim to learn something new about each person in the OPCC every week.
It's ok to dress in a more friendly, less smart fashion. Instead of shirt and trousers, wear long sleeved black polar necks, smart jeans and shoes. Keep the shirt, tie and shoes for formal occasions.
I need to learn to switch off and manage my time flexibly, but also specifically. So, Mon-Tue is the Youth Commission, I'll need to be flexible to manage working with people in the OPCC and YC Partners, as well as young people. Best time to work would be 10-6pm because this gives me the morning to get some initial work done, the afternoon to contact partners and go to events and the evening to contact YC members and go the events etc. Later than 6pm and people will be having dinner.
