While it’s great to be inclusive,this can often derail a
project & make it impossible to get design consensus. Learning how to deal with this problem is important in a senior role.What advice would you give to a first time leader?

[She Can Do @SheCanDo_JHB]

Imposter syndrome is a common feeling with our members - even those in senior positions. They doubt their own talents and skills, and thus struggle with low self-confidence. Have you ever felt this way?

#uxresearch #womeninux #uxdesigner

[She Can Do @SheCanDo_JHB]

Designers are lead to believe that the leadership skills they require will simply be gained over time. This in turn leads to
ineffective design leadership and poorly managed teams.

Our members want there to be a diversified voice in the workplace as the industry is widely dominated by a single demographic. Share your thoughts on this in the comments!

[She Can Do @SheCanDo_JHB]

The general lack of standardisation around roles, responsibilities and levels in the design industry can make crafting a career path challenging. Have you found that senior roles are defined differently from organisation to organisation?

#uxresearch #womeninux #uxdesigner

[She Can Do @SheCanDo_JHB]

We haven’t forgotten about the seniors out there - join us in the next couple of weeks as we meet Zoe, a senior designer, and see what challenges she has to deal with as her career progresses. Stay tuned!
