I've been a teacher for the past 7 years, so I'm very much out of practice with job searching/application/interviewing. In particular, cold outreach is something that is new to me and feels uncomfortable, so I'm looking for support in this realm. Clear tasks, deadlines, and a team dynamic motivate me, and I believe the mentorship program will provide that motivation. After spending so much time in one industry, I worry about how to best convey the many skills I bring from teaching/instructional coaching to an interviewer, so I'm hopeful to learn some strategies for this.

Empathy allows us to better understand the needs and challenges of others. In a coworking sense, it can reduce conflict or lead to faster conflict resolution. In the software realm, empathy will encourage designers to seek out and consider diverse perspectives which will create more accessible, effective software. This can be particularly powerful when considering the needs of differently-abled consumers, as well as consumers from different cultures. It can be hardest to be empathetic when you have become entrenched in a particular behavior and someone challenges that behavior, whether a peer, superior, or customer. In these moments, it's best to meet with a person who is challenging your worldview, ask open questions and practice active listening -- listen to understand, not to respond.

Mod 0 Capstone - Professional Development
I am a strong critical force in asking "why" and "why not" when evaluating decisions and structures. My top thinking style is Objective-Analytical and the virtue that drives my actions is a love of new knowlege.
I work best as a leader when I know that I'm being looked to for leadership, but if it's unclear what my role shoudl be, I may sit back and let someone else lead.
I think I need to increase my flexibility and adaptability. As a teacher, in many ways, I was an island and relied mostly on my own work. In the programming world, I'll need to learn to balance individual goals versus overall group goals and needs.
Reflecting on my strengths (and areas for growth) will allow me to be better at stepping up to fill a void in a situation or knowing who to lean on when I don't have the expertise.
