Title: Creating a Marketing Strategy for Your UX Skills
Context: In order to effectively influence other people’s perception of us we must be conscious of how we present ourselves to the world.
Synopsis: What are your strengths as a user experience professional? What are your weaknesses? Where do the opportunities to expand your career exist? Are there any threats that might keep your professional development in check? These are all hard – but necessary – questions that we should all be able to answer about ourselves. It is only by truly understanding where our talents and deficiencies lie that we can confidently assert ourselves in the heat of a project and know in what areas we need to improve our skills. Complacency is a danger all professionals should guard against, and knowing where complacency or fear can take root is the best preventative therapy we have.
Best Bit: “So, how do we garner respect, persuade, and manage the perceptions others have of us? We have to start by looking in the mirror.”
