Listen "Adding value and doing meaningful work."
Episode Synopsis
Season 2 | Episode 1 - Happy new year and hope you have a great year ahead. In this episode, I kick off the year with a conversation on how to add value as a UX designer and doing more meaningful work.
Meetings don’t have to be boring time wasters. There are lots of cool tricks you can use to make them focussed, efficient and get problems solved, not just discussed or debated.
Stop running shitty endless meetings that end up in a meeting to discuss the next meeting with no clear next steps.
This problem farming and prioritisation workshop presented by Varima Henry is a complete guide to facilitating your own workshop that creates the freedom needed to come up with creative ideas using structure and discipline for any team.
