Progress isn’t a neat little upward arrow. Real growth is squiggly. It loops, backtracks, pauses—and sometimes feels like it stalls completely. But that mess? That’s where the magic happens. Unfortunately, we’ve been sold the myth that success is linear. When our journey doesn’t match that myth, we blame ourselves. Cue the shame. Cue the burnout.

Resilient leaders know better. They embrace the zigzag. They find wisdom in the detours.

Think back—when did something that felt like failure end up preparing you for something bigger? What did that moment teach you? Growth hides in the squiggle.

Why Every Designer Should Practice Their Speech

In design, presentation is persuasion. When you practice speaking as much as sketching, you build trust, authority, and excitement around your ideas. A polished pitch can make the difference between a “maybe” and a “let’s do it.” Remember your voice is part of your professional toolkit. Use it well, and let it sell your vision as powerfully as your designs do.
