1st Lesson
Why hasn't your creativity been unleashed?
Creativity is a skill that designers utilize every day, yet many designers ask me how to enhance it. What is the continuous energy of activating creativity? How can it naturally serve your?
2nd Lesson
Why should winning be achieved better than just good?
To achieve winning in bidding, first set aside considerations of relationships; technical proficiency and mindset must progress in parallel. It's about doing better than others and excelling beyond good. So, what methods are there? Both the client and you are human, inevitably intertwined with psychological factors. What methods can lead the client to appreciate your design? And what methods can instill confidence in the client to invest in your design?
3rd Lesson
Why do designers have
blind spots?
Emerging designers often revel in the honeymoon phase of design, which occurs during the initial stages of a project. However, as projects progress, challenges such as designs not getting approved, clients delaying payments, team disagreements, and unclear client feedback will likely arise. Why do many schools fail to educate students that design is also a business? Excelling in design requires more than just technical training - it demands a broad understanding of business principles."
4th Lesson
How to understand the
design client?
From the client's perspective, they make significant investments in design, hence the need for cautious communication and rigorous approval processes, which is understandable. How can designers unearth clients' needs through questioning, observation, and active listening while ensuring client satisfaction and leaving a positive impression? Understanding the cultural differences between Chinese clients and Western practices, how can local designers leverage their strengths and complement those of Western designers effectively?
5th Lesson
Why is unlearning a form of power?
Regardless of the lifestyle designers pursue, the goal is to enrich both their life and creativity, not to simply engage in tea tasting for the sake of it or travel just to travel. It is a process that allows one to transform the everyday knowledge they have acquired into wisdom. Why? Because a company's culture and values originate from you as a leader. Rest is about enabling individuals to see themselves clearly, fostering a harmonious blend of life and work.
