How leaders can change their environment through empathy?

Welcome to Good Morning UX! In this episode, we sit down with Whitney Hess, a seasoned user experience designer, and coach, on a mission to put humanity back into the business. She believes empathy builds empires. We discuss how to change, build, and envision a career in UX design. We start with a gentle provocation:

What if you could find a career that paid the bills and made you truly happy?

How would that change your life?

Whitney offers insights on making that dream a reality, drawing on her experiences as a UX designer and coach.

Throughout the conversation, we touch on various aspects of career development, from identifying your strengths and values to creating a personal brand and portfolio that showcases your work.

Whitney also shares valuable tips on transitioning from one career to another and having meaningful conversations about career goals with your manager or mentor. We wrap up with a discussion of leadership and what it means to be a successful UX designer. Whitney emphasizes the importance of empathy, curiosity, and self-awareness in this field, encouraging viewers to embrace their unique strengths and perspectives.

If you’re interested in building a career in UX design or simply looking for inspiration and guidance on navigating the job market, this video is for you.

The past year we decided to start this new project called Good Morning UX, an extension of another show called Bom Dia UX, with such special-international guests. Actually, we invited a lot of professionals who are references for us and that have so much history in our industry.
