My Approach to Leadership
I believe UX Research leadership is less about having all the answers and more about asking better questions of our teams, our stakeholders, and ourselves. Through years of leading teams and shaping research practice, Iβve come to see leadership as a shift in how we think, not just in what we do. Itβs the transition from delivering insights to shaping outcomes, from supporting product to influencing strategy.
Iβve shared this perspective in masterclasses across the spectrum, from foundational sessions for individual contributors to executive-level training for aspiring board leaders. Now, Iβm bringing this experience into Becoming a UX Research Leader, a live masterclass designed to support experienced researchers stepping into leadership with clarity and purpose.
