THIS IS MIRIAM

a short self-portrait 🐥

  • I'm excited by art in public spaces, stages, organising events, building/fixing things and besides that, I'm a podcast-addict.

...I am someone who needs to be "stimulated" at all times and I can concentrate better, when I do multiple things at once. This is the reason why I listen to podcasts almost all the time while having to do other things (that don't require listening, haha). Also, if you see me doing something with my hands (e.g. drawing) during a meeting, then it's mostly not because I am not paying attention but exactly the opposite: I am trying to concentrate better.


  • Something I'm scared of is... a creative block.

...because I know that I am way more productive when I am full of creative energy so I fear the phases when my head just feels empty.


When in a group, I need... I'm quiet an impatient person and I like to work in a fast way. Nonetheless, I understand that some people might need more time or that a project just requires more time. It would help me, if we could formulate goals at the beginning of the meeting and summarise the most important conclusions at the end. This would give me more structure and would make meetings feel more efficient.

To ensure my needs are met, I will... I will request to discuss our goals and draw conclusions in our meetings.

I would find it helpful if others in the group would be willing to... ...maybe also sum up in between meetings what has been said and where we are heading so that meetings don't feel like just circling around a topic without a goal. But I also need people to tell me, if, during a project, I'm jumping to conclusions too quickly and stressing other people out.
