374. Competent or Complacent?
Update: 2025-11-25
Description
After a small existential crisis, Pete asks Jen how he might tell the difference between being competent or complacent.
Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about:
- What is the relationship between boredom, competency, and complacency?
- How might the repetition of a workshop, keynote, or show create an illusion of complacency?
- Why is having a coach, mentor, or trusted friend important in the viewing of your own work?
