📚 THE TOPIC
Designers often talk about craft, tools, and process which is critically important, but what's talked about less often is our own mindset around Design. In this Story, Kevin talks about how many of the most important lessons he has learned in his career have been around self-reflection and understanding himself better.
It's akin to sports psychology: knowing oneself - our social strengths - better is vital for our careers, for us to excel as a group. It's the most crucial key anyone can share with others.
