The creative industry is deep in a damaging obsession with the external. We're terrified of the tools, spending our energy arguing in black and white about artificial intelligence, starting the design process trapped in programmes before we've considered what will serve the idea.

But really, we should be starting with the internal, and that's all grounded in self-awareness. Only then can we truly connect in the wider world.
