Katie Cadwell addresses the self-doubt of a Brazilian graphic designer who feels overshadowed by more talented colleagues. She emphasizes the importance of humility over ego in creative work. Ego can block personal growth and learning, while humility allows for progress and collaboration. Cadwell reassures the designer that feeling inadequate is common, especially in a competitive environment, and it’s beneficial to surround oneself with more skilled individuals. This fosters growth and prevents stagnation, which Cadwell argues is the worst fate for a creative professional. To help boost confidence, Cadwell suggests practical strategies. First, she encourages the designer to acknowledge and document small victories, such as positive client feedback or recognition from peers. These moments can serve as reminders during times of self-doubt. Second, she stresses the importance of language; taking credit for successes rather than attributing them solely to teamwork can reinforce a sense of ownership and accomplishment. Cadwell concludes that while the designer may never fully shed feelings of inadequacy, becoming comfortable with them can enhance creativity and resilience in the long run.
