This was a great read. Thank you Deb. I came across your work from your recent Lenny's podcast and a lot of what you said resonated with me deeply.

Great read. I resonated with the issue of clearing blind spots.

Thank you. This is so timely and insightful for me as I've been struggling to find ways to level up as a designer. I'm realizing the name of the game as a "super" senior designer is communication, not craft (given you have it nailed already, of course)

Yes! For people who are used to being individual contributors who are amazing at the craft, the missing link is often communication that will take them from doing to leading.

Great stuff, Deb. And I may have a few guesses at your brilliant person…would love to know if I’m right :)

This happens a lot more often than you think. While I was writing about one specific incident, it is a glimpse into something that happens quite often actually. Hope you are well.
