#005: A simple framework to boost your UX career… And your life.

Joel tells us about his experience running sprints and debunks the notion of having arbitrary metrics within an organization. He shows us how focusing on the needs of team and creating a space for radical transparency can have a profound impact in performance and building the right culture.

This episode goes beyond design and teaches us how we can leverage tools like emotional intelligence and goal setting principles to overcome some of the biggest challenges creative professionals face.

Joel reminds us about the importance of documenting our growth and breaks down the exact framework he uses for setting goals personally and professionally. Finally, he shares with us a simple tool he’s developed to help creative professionals get clear, focused, and ensure the actions we take are aligned with the outcomes and person we want to become.
