Specifications & Abstract

Fab picture - weirdly came into my life recently too
Great that your understanding of the LIPD process has grown so much
Love the conductor metaphor
Font is a tiny bit too small in the proposal drop down section
It might be useful to explain what an auto-didactic learner is for readers who may not know these terms
Typo - I willbƒZZdocument
Great your call with Jennifer has given you clarity. I think leaving leaving OPs open to emerging themes is very powerful and relevant. Was a bit confused about plant propagation OP - is this still your intention? 
Great mindmap
Feedback from OPs and Key Unlearnings could perhaps be longer. Or linked to longer reflections in the appendix.

Commentary & Reflections

So glad the PDC teaching OP has been a rich process for you (problem to a solution)
Eeep, keep an eye on that back! I think I had a similar pattern leading to my recent painfest.
It reads like you are incredibly self aware and our sharing your edges with honesty and vulnerability, well done
Picture is creeping into text just FYI
Fantastic you completed the OP in such a structured way.
Strong radical honesty around leadership
You travel so much, it is so impressive and awe-inspiring!

Goals, skills & interests

An incredible list of desired skills (in the bullet points). How will you track these? How can you make them tangible so you know you’ve experienced these transformations?
How can you turn these goals into SMART targets? Not so much the personal aims, but say for example the professional goals?
I adore the ‘awakening from the dreamer quest’ activity & documentation
The all quadrants graph is quite mindblowing, perhaps the sections could be re-ordered as we tend to read left to right and it ss a bit confusing knowing which section goes with which graphic
Fantastic pattern & experiences spreadsheet - super thorough reflection
I would really recommend the book - healing through the dark emotions - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Healing-through-Dark-Emotions-Despair/dp/1590301013?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0
It actually talks about how we are scared of ‘negative’ emotions and how these labels are not actually useful. That emotions are messengers not inherently good or bad, but they can support us in transformation.
Habits of the mind - really interesting framework
Be great to see the skill flex graph as an enlargeable image
Wow fantastic tracking form for habits of the mind!! Will be great to see your data as you progress through your capstone year

Projects, Timelines and Plans

Very clear OP overview & timetable. Well done. Really applying design to ‘chaos’, love it.
I’m really looking forward to reading your OP work
I love the paralysis by analysis sections, especially the section on leaping before reaping - this would be a great resource to share with the Gaia U community
Your work is the most planned/designed I’ve ever seen it - it is fantastic how you have embraced Gaia U so fully

OP Planning

Very ambitious timetable :)
I’m really sorry again if my health has affected your progress, I hope sessions with Jennifer have been fulfilling
The OP Checklist is incredibly useful & it would also be great to share this with other associates
Wow an incredible blocked out timetable. How is that working out for you?

Supporting Evidence

Fantastic that you have this skill flex assessment tool & that the data is quantifiable
Typo in digiphon - editing
Would be great if the resource review was a little bit more annotated, so we know what the resources are (not just the links) and how they have been useful to you
Learning journal entries - thank you for sharing these. You yearning for travel is so visible!
