There’s a lot in this that applies to the way I’m looking at design. I’m reminded of critical incidents in workshops, where you find yourself doing things that are more about impressing your significance on others: why they’re working with a designer, what it is that design does, the value that design has created elsewhere etc.

Sometimes I use a reframe, or synthesis to demonstrate this, other times it’ll be a story or example from the canon. The challenge is to have these expressions contribute to the (design) action, rather than being disconnected exercises in personal marketing.

To some extent, the preceding concept of sincerity—belief in the role you’re playing—plays a big role in how well the expressions & actions of your Dramatic Realization are integrated
