My development tools offered me a huge amount of reinforcement and answers which have further developed my thinking. I had presumed that most people would have similar opinions and experiences however they couldn’t have been more different, and this has reminded me to keep looking at my inquiry from a variety of angles. This was daunting at first as I already felt like I had so much analysing and research to do. Funnily enough, that anxious feeling is very similar to the way I think about my career; the mind-set of having to be always good at everything, which is fast becoming clear as impossible to achieve. This in itself links back to my inquiry, feeling stressed as I am trying to conquer all. Reflecting on the previous module, we discussed personal true virtues and values and how they relate to our profession. One of mine was “Ambitious”, and it is clear to me I do have a strong desire for success and achievement in my work. In January 2011 I started my own business, and after 6 months I want to aim higher still, so now I am in the research and planning stage of opening my own theatre school. Some people would say I will never be happy with what I have and honestly, I have to agree. Maybe only ambitious people have the same problem as me? I know I have gone off topic slightly, but on pursuing these thoughts internally I found that they linked quite easily and comfortably with my inquiry: Ambition is surely a relevant condition to consider when it comes to my inquiry on multi-skilling. Surely it is a certain type of person who pushes themselves to be the best at not just one, but a variety of things?
