They're looking for speakers. Go on, do it.
The fantastic @fi_brook spoke at our #ContentDesign Community of Practice yesterday about the psychology of #impostersyndrome and how to handle it and use it to your advantage.

UX peeps: I’m seeing more & more ppl recognize the deep trauma that many of us carry from a career full of relentlessly having to “prove our value.” I’d love to discuss ideas for how to create teams and cultures that don’t cause this trauma. Anyone up for a chat/group brainstorm?
I'm speaking @Content_Folks at the end of April. It's free and online if you want to come along!

It's been quite a day! For anyone at @utterlycontent this week, make sure to watch @RhiaWeston's workshop on digital sustainability.

Velocity of coding is rarely the bottleneck, compared to the velocity of decision-making and requirement-setting.
The power of design is creating the balance of shared context & fidelity to help stakeholders understand the consequences of their decisions *before* they are code🧵

There is a widespread, even ubiquitous mindset in the working world that employers have all the power while employees and job candidates have none. This mindset shows up in job interviews and on the job. To step into your power, you have to shake off this idea

Acts of leadership I'd like to see more of
〜Amplifying quiet voices
〜Saying I don't know
〜Listening more than talking
〜Acknowledging power
〜Highlighting mistakes you've made
What would you add?
Damn right. I think about digital inclusion a lot but this is a good reminder that bad design is so damaging to people: theguardian.com/society/2022…
