During my struggle to find a place on his team @iThink_iDesign gave me some sage advice. Don’t treat senior colleagues as models for your growth. Success is reached by doubling down on your strengths.

managers: performance and career convos are two separate things. performance is telling a plant that it has a few spots on its leaves & working out a new watering schedule together. a career convo is asking whether it wants to grow to be a vine or tree in a few years.

Influence. UX Researchers can't stop talking about having influence, having IMPACT. How do you do it? It turns out one of the key levers of influence is also the oldest trick in the book - give and take. It's day 4 of the #Twitter100 challenge - a quick thread on influence.

Thoughts on learning to "fail fast" in tech?

[Shengwu Li @ShengwuLi]

Thoughts on learning to "fail fast" in research. When you have a new idea, and the project is worthwhile only if P, then you need to check P first, not last. Examples: 1. You can only establish causality with a certain kind of data. 🧵

Heard a great story yesterday of a product team that became almost too obsessed with data. While it's a great habit to look at the numbers every day, remember that the data only tells you the what, rarely the why 🤗

When did discoveries become focused on proving a thing rather than discovering things?
