Any tips for writing a self-review? I have low self esteem and think I’m bad at everything, so it’s hard to know what to put in ‘super powers’ and ‘areas of development’. I don’t want to point out all the things I think I’m bad. On the other hand, I’m not sure what my strengths are. Any suggestions?

Maybe you need to reframe the questions. Areas of development are things you wanna grow in (doesn’t mean you are bad at it). It helps your manager understand where they can help you. Admitting where you want to grow in takes self awareness- which is a good characteristic of any employee.

Superpower, although sounds like a loaded word, can really mean any skill you are remotely good at. Or at least I would reframe it in that way. For example; being a good and proactive listener, good collaborator, inquisitive thinker, etc.

Thank you. That’s really helpful :)

Something I've done when struggling with this is to try to look at it as if I were reviewing someone else. It is SO hard to look at myself and be objective. I also tend to be overly critical of myself. I am grateful for my time in the military to train and prepare for these things. A lot of time was put into this type of thing for leadership development.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

I’m doing my first UX portfolio on Wix. I have the case studies content drafted out, but I’m struggling with brainstorming wireframes/actual UI for my case studies. I make it a rule to look for dribbble/behance for inspo but only sketch when im not looking at things because I don’t want to copy directly.

I’ve tried using paper/thin markers highlighters, tried using procreate, and also illustrator/photoshop & a tablet. I keep running into issues where I feel overwhelmed. How do I simplify this?
