Area General Office – Panadura, Freelancer Development Initiative 2022 hosted by ICTA — To support government officers to start their journey as a freelancer with the right mindset and skills to become successful.
Starting your career as a freelancer
As the second event in this series, I traveled to Panadura to lead a freelancing education session. It was a fantastic opportunity, and I asked 15 freelancers from my network to attend in order to encourage them to start something with the abilities they already possessed.
Starting from the basics
I develop the session by analyzing and watching their reactions, as well as altering the dynamics of the lecture to a whole other phase so that they can easily comprehend it. It wasn’t easy to slow down and cover the long list of things we had to cover, but we managed to do so in order to close the session on a high note.
Interesting fact is that, I was altering the dynamics of the lecture to a whole other phase so that they can easily comprehend it.
Later, several people approached me to ask questions and to compliment and thank us for spreading awareness and educating people about the sector.
Capturing a few moments
Excited and impressed by the freelance industry and how it can benefit them to create a living out of it. It was a bit advanced program for them but they took it all in and asked a lot of questions.
A good session…
The audience was a little more knowledgeable and informed, which allowed us to give the entire session without interruption. Some people have exceptional abilities and qualities that may propel them to the top of the freelancing ladder.
They had a lot of specific questions, notably regarding how to freelance on sites like Fiverr and Upwork. I gave them some guidance and a framework to study the rest of the freelancing opportunities as well.
