Gersande selfportrait

• My name is...Gersande

• I'm excited by... restrictions, templates, books/book-markets/bookshops, small objects/dismissed-objects, food(almost any food), making things with my hand, working with others & very slow cycling!

• Something I'm scared of is... 1. coming across as bossy(general overview is important to me & getting everyone involved), 2. not letting everyone be heard(understanding everyone's need necessary in my group-process), 3. quiche&omelettes, 4. repeating old projects, 5. letting personal feelings get in the way of group-meetings, 6. unstructured flow of information

• When in a group, I need/value an overview of what is being said, needed by other. It is quite grounding/necessary for me to know who stands where in a project. I also need cohesion in group decision-making (no isolated frustration, misbalanced involvement, likes towards the end of a meeting).

• To ensure my needs are met, I will always pay close attention to everyone's wants, opinions and needs, even the ones people might not value. Which sometimes makes me inquisitive.

• I would find it helpful if others in the groups would be willing to check-in sometimes with their wants, opinions, needs (and dislikes for that matter) to keep a healthy overview of the group's individuals' status. And when I might be too inquisitive I want others to feel free telling me off.
