Introduce Yourself and Take the Circular Course Survey
Now that you have hopefully gotten a better overview of the course in the previous step, it’s time to focus on the most important part – you as a learner, professional/student and human being. Your learning experience will be shaped by your input, ideas and experiences. This step is organised in three parts.
1. Introduce yourself
Introduce yourself and get to know other learners in the Studium discussion area that opens October 1, 2025, or in the Whatsapp group (get link on Studium or send sms for invite to +46730650228). We want to know who you are. What are you bringing to this course? Why do you think a course like this is important? Getting a feeling for who is taking this course will make this a much more engaging and rewarding experience.
2. Think, reflect and list your gifts, passions and purpose
In Six Steps to Natural Enterprise: A Synopsis of “Finding the Sweet Spot” by Dave Pollard, 2008, he outlines three key aspects needed for finding your own sweet spot:
- Your Gifts: What you are uniquely good at
- Passions: What you love doing
- Your Purpose: What is needed (that you care about)
When these three aspects intersect and join together in your work, you find your sweet spot, a place where work is fun, rewarding, creative and effective. List your gifts, passions and purpose as a comment to the Studium page, or in the Whatsapp group.
3. Take Circular Course Survey
We have put together a short survey to get an overview of all of you taking the course this autumn. Your answers will help us to adapt and put the final touches on the coming parts of the course. Please fill out the survey here or scan QR-code: Circular Course Survey.
