Business of Design - I Get Good at What I Practice with Kimberley Seldon - 28 min
Practice makes perfect is an expression that’s familiar to all. While most of us don’t aim for perfection in our work life, we do desire mastery of the skills that allow us to deliver on the promise of our brands. Although it’s tedious, we will get better at what we practice. In this podcast, Kimberley Seldon asks us to consider: If I get good at what I practice, what am I practicing?
Highlights:
stating your boundaries without justification takes courage, but the result is greater confidence
practice saying no without qualifying
defend an expensive item you’ve proposed if it is important to the project
the goal is defending your first choice is not to “win”, it’s to stand strong in your conviction.
