Episode notes
Transition From Dev To UX Leadership
- Caroline moved from biotech server-side developer to full-time UX after applying for a dev role at Acumium and being offered a UX position instead.
- Within a year she pushed to become Director of UX and build the practice while on parental leave briefly delaying the move.
Use Force Functions To Overcome Imposter Syndrome
- Decide to say yes to opportunities and figure out how to do them as you go; use force functions to make progress.
- Create deadlines or commitments (talk dates, course launches) to push yourself into action.
Encourage Ideas And Allow Safe Failure
- Ask your team to bring bold and even wacky ideas, and treat them as conversation starters rather than instant yeses.
- Build psychological safety so people can fail and learn without negative consequences.
