#018 - As designers and problem solvers, we pride ourselves on our craft and hard skills. But those will only take you halfway. Beyond that, you’ll need people skills to really be an impactful designer.
In this episode, I speak with Trenton Moss, Founder of Webcredible, one of the first UX agencies in the UK and author of ‘Human-Powered’, a book on emotional intelligence for digital product teams.
We explore techniques that will help you understand others better, run more effective meetings and become a people-centred leader.
In this episode:
- No one's interested in your designs
- Making time to understand people will save you time
- Reducing the opportunity cost of meetings
- If you're invited to a badly designed meeting
- A new definition of leadership
- Building relationships in a remote world
- And much more!
