I encourage everybody to think about when you initiate a meeting, o presentation, any kind of collaboration, how can you start with some kind of activity that gets people focused and engaged. I find that so refreshing, because so many people do ice breakers just for the sake of doing an ice breaker. And this notion that the activity you initiate with can actually serve as a sign post for what's to come, or get people to rehearse skills that you'll be developing is really powerful.
“Very often, you are not designing for yourself. And you kind of have to get out of your own way to effectively design with others’ needs in mind.”
In this podcast episode, lecturer Matt Abrahams is joined by Sarah Stein Greenberg, Director of the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design, aka the Stanford d.school, and author of Creative Acts for Curious People: How to Think, Create, and Lead in Unconventional Ways.
Together, Greenberg and Abrahams discuss how design and communication require seeing things from more than just our own point of view, and the tools we can use to broaden our perspectives.
