I joined SINCA event on Saturday, September 29. SINCA, stands for Sharing Innovative and Creative Action, is the project that is being produced by Ms. Yoko Ishikura. The theme of yesterday’s event was “What would you do if you lost your job tomorrow?”.
What would you do if you lost your job tomorrow?
I faced this situation when I was pregnant. I was a TV camera photographer but I could not handle the camera for several years because of my pregnancy and the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred in 2011. The renewed management plan urged me to improve and build the facilities for countermeasures against disasters rather than shooting with a camera. It was a very scary experience that I would lose my job.
Broadening interest and diversifying risk
After that, I decided to acquire the new skills to support myself in the current and future situation. First, I learned business and global leadership in online graduate school. Second, I gained simple IT skills and interested in not only shooting with a camera but also the other field of engineerings. Third, I joined several events and started building a network outside the company. These attempts broaden my interests and distribute risks when the situation in one field got worse.
For the future
It is a lot of fun to input, discuss, and imagine things. I have a lot of things what I want to learn such as technology, design, economy, and philosophy. However Life is not so long to accomplish something in a limited time. Now it is a new phase to develop action plan and implement ideas. “Walk the Talk”. This is one of the concepts of SINCA. While cherishing various networks, I would like to promote prototyping and create something out.
