#36 Displaying my work rather than "myself" at the tachiuribako

Thoughts in the midst of Curiepo preparation

Preparing for Curiepo after a long break has involved days of struggling with revisions to promotional pamphlets and brainstorming booth decorations. As she experiments with how to brush up her previous materials and determine who to reach, she captures both the joy of the creative process and the moderate tension that comes with it.

Actually, there was a time when I felt a bit of discomfort and reluctance toward sales. Instead of over-promoting what I can do, I've settled into a method where I calmly display my past work and achievements, conveying how I can help solve a client's problems. It's a shift toward placing the work itself at the forefront, rather than making "myself" the subject.

Through a specific task, I experienced a change in my professional outlook. I go deeper into the background of how I reached this mindset, so please listen to the full episode for more.
