Summary
This week's episode was a live recording at the ConveyUX conference in early March with a panel of UX pros talking about Influencing without authority, which is such an important topic and clearly very relevant based on the turn-out - it was standing room only. This episode is almost twice as long as our normal episodes — but you won’t want to miss the second half, where we turned it over to audience members to ask advice about their own situations, kind of mini-mentoring sessions, on a variety of things, from getting stakeholders to respect your quantitative research, to dealing with others’ biases that undermine your authority. We had a real diversity of experience in the panel which made for such an amazing conversation, and the audience was great — really engaged. This is really what UX Cake is about, that synergy that can happen when we come together as a community so I love doing live recordings.If you enjoy this podcast, join the UX Cake community by following us on social media - twitter, FB, Instagram… and if you like this episode, share it with a colleague or two, send them a link to this episode. Those are the ways we’re growing UX Cake, where our mission is to strengthen the UX community by helping ux pros become more effective in their work and careers. It only takes a moment, and it helps us so much!Connect with UX Cake!Website: uxcake.co Facebook Twitter Instagram Subscribe to our newsletterDonate to UX Cake to keep the podcast going Subscribe to UX Cake: iTunes| Stitcher | EmailUX Cake Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/uxcakeiTunes | Google Podcast | Stitcher | TuneInSubscribe in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/ux-cake/id1350595015?mt=2Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/uxcake.
