This week from People Nerds: We talk career paths, a strategy for getting to know your user, and taking a break.
To lead or not to lead?
When thinking about career growth, one might envision a director title and a large team to oversee—but management isn't the right path for everyone. UX leader, Ashton Snook, tells us about his experience as both an individual contributor and leader and why orgs need to recognize both paths are equally important.
A Day in the Life study is an immersive project that takes a broader look at your participants' lives. This type of study is less about answering a specific question and instead designed to widen our understanding about our user. Discover the benefits of conducting your own with our example scenario.
dscout is thrilled to partner with HmntyCntrd—an award-winning community that's transforming the status quo of what it means to be human-centered in our professional and personal lives.
In the coming months, we'll be collaborating on original research and sharing insights from HmntyCntrd contributors. Read the sixth piece from the HmntyCntrd community below, or learn more about their programs here.
You are more than your productivity
In a world of endless emails, message notifications, and video calls, the one area where we aren't dedicating enough attention is…to ourselves. Transformation Coach and UX enthusiast Cindy Lamar highlights the importance of prioritizing your well-being and getting intentional about rest, silence, and hobbies.
Product is a team sport. If things aren't working, you have to figure out where the primary issue is. If you let it break [rather than trying to do it all], the group can then come together, address the issue, and change.
