Reflective competence is when you're able to take the extraordinary skills that you have mastered, and you are able to connect those and relate to other problems outside of that area of mastery—that you're able to teach people, and that you're able to continue to learn. We have to really decide in an active, intentional way, whether or not we want to be in our current stage, which will eventually lead to complacency, or if we want to take an active world view and reach reflective competence. When we're able to translate the very strings of design, we don't have to solve the problems ourselves, but we have to be active in those conversations.
