    20 - Unlearning Bias In Design Education with Ida Persson

    Show Notes In this episode, I speak with Ida Persson, a Communications Design Lead at IDEO, on the topic of the biases in design education and what we as designers can do about it. A few highlights from our conversation Learn about Ida's journey of becoming aware of the biases she learned in her design education. Learn about the challenges unlearning our biases brings and how to take small steps forward Learn how to expand your sources of design knowledge and information to include voices from around the world and break out of the biased design bubble Learn why it's important for designers to question everything, especially the beliefs we carry, to help us break free from the biases that can harm us. Quotes from the episode “The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house.” - Audre Lorde. “Any real change implies the breakup of the world as one has always known it, the loss of all that gave one an identity, the end of safety. And at such a moment, unable to see and not daring to imagine what the future will now bring forth, one clings to what one knew or dreamed that one possessed. Yet, it is only when a man is able, without bitterness or self-pity, to surrender a dream he has long possessed that he is set free — he has set himself free — for higher dreams, for greater privileges.” - James Baldwin.

    19 - Helping UX Professionals through career change with intention, mindfulness, and confidence, with Amy Santee

    Recording Note: A lot has happened since our conversation was recorded a few months ago, so some observations may not be accurate today.  --- In this episode, I speak with career strategist and coach for UX professionals Amy Santee. Amy is a champion for UX professionals who want to design their careers with intention and bring their good to the world through a practice of self-research, self-respect, self-advocacy, and strategy. With all the uncertainty and recent tech layoffs, it is good to know that we have amazing people like Amy on our side to guide and support us through change. Amy’s coaching philosophy is to help her clients navigate change by being strategic, mindful, and intentional. Top insights from our conversation: On Career Change Be intentional and strategic with your job search. Before searching for a job, figure out your why, your values, and how you want to work and live. Identify the limiting beliefs and behavior patterns that are not serving you well. On Career Coaching A career coach can provide an outside perspective and validate or challenge your thoughts. A career coach can help you do your job search more effectively and strategically to help you stand out from the crowd. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques can be used in coaching to help overcome the inner struggles we face so we can reach our potential. If you want to work with a coach, identify what you need help with and research coaches by reading their blog posts and newsletters and talking with them to see if they are the right partner to guide you in your career. On Self-Discovery For Your Career Collect data about yourself, such as your thoughts, behaviors, actions, and emotions, to understand yourself better so you can find a work environment that fits your values and supports you. Check the stories you tell yourself. Validate them instead of blindly believing them. Check your assumptions about external events such as the tech layoffs and make sure you're resume, portfolio, and presentations are all buttoned up and ready to go. On Networking Always be open to new opportunities. On LinkedIn, turn on the feature that privately lets recruiters know that you are open to new opportunities Network, network, network. Start networking now, not when you need it. Find people at companies you are interested in and make mutually beneficial connections. Start interacting within the UX community to share your comments and thoughts. Networking isn't only for new people you meet; you can reach out to people you have worked with in past jobs as well. Listener challenge: Amy shared a great personal development challenge to help you identify areas of opportunity and how begin working towards them one intentional step at a time. Make sure to listen till the end! Connect with Amy Website - http://www.amysantee.com LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/amysantee/

    15. Develop your personal philosophy, show up as your authentic self, and build a powerful personal brand with Sana Ahmed

    Sana is a personal brand experience consultant who helps her clients stand out from the crowd and helps them monetize their unique edge. In our conversation, Sana shared her transition from consultant to creator. We explored how to show up as our authentic selves and how you can begin to develop your own personal philosophy, something that is crucial if you're building your brand.  Highlights from our conversation: Learn about Sana's transition from a consultant to a creator. There are a lot of insights we can take from her story to apply in our own lives. Understand why creative freedom is something we need to plan for and not take for granted. Why giving ourselves permission to achieve our goals is crucial for our creative freedom It's not about achieving but about doing the work to uncover what is within us, it's about us becoming. Learn what emotional reasoning is and how it can be a dangerous behavior. What is authenticity and how can we show up as our authentic selves? Learn having a personal philosophy is at the core of developing who you are. Want to begin developing your personal philosophy? Start by asking yourself why you believe what you believe. On pushing forward Many people feel the same way about how they experienced more success in their business from this ability to just not BS and to not fret and to not worry about things that don’t make sense and to do the hard work and lean and make the hard decisions that they need to so that they can learn and so that they can move forward. On Authenticity Authenticity is the feeling of congruence from your internal way of being and the way that you externally express that internal way of being. On Self-awareness Getting in touch with the core of who you are and reflecting on that, doing the hard work to really think about what that is for you, and then taking the steps that you need to express what that is. And it can be very, And it can eventually be very big. Or you can start very big, cause a lot of ruckus, break a lot of ties, burn some bridges, and then go off doing your own thing and start over. But I think it’s either way that you do it; you have to understand that it’s gonna take some work to get to the point where you feel like I can totally be who it is that I wanna be.
