The document is a proposal from Karen to give a talk on learning to understand people quickly through observation. The talk would be divided into three parts: 1) A story about how Karen became an ethnographer through an experience watching someone make coffee, 2) How these observation skills can benefit business, 3) How to effectively observe and understand people through examining patterns, oneself, and avoiding emotional attachment to subjects. Karen provides examples of her experience teaching similar concepts and believes the talk could help both strategists and regular people connect with others and be more empathetic.

Production diary
This document summarizes Leah Ellis's production diary for weeks 1-4 of a project. In week 1, Leah struggled with writing the initial proposal and felt unprepared. In weeks 2-3, Leah conducted research on children's books, nursery rhymes, art styles, and publishing options. This research helped Leah determine her art style and additional interactive elements. In week 4, Leah identified potential problems like computer issues and began researching printing options to solve problems related to page size and completion deadlines. Leah plans to backup work regularly and record solutions to address potential production problems.
Diary
Benjamin reflects on the success of each stage of his filmmaking project. For pre-production, he focused on understanding the mood and message of the project. In contextual work, he researched inspirations and effects. Audience research was a key success in the research stage. Pre-production involved investigating costumes, props, and locations. Benjamin feels production went perfectly, with editing being the main success as it brought his vision together despite some challenges.
Production diary
The document is a production diary for weeks 1-3 of a project to create a children's book of nursery rhymes. In week 1, the author struggled with the proposal but hopes to gain more knowledge. In weeks 2-3, research was conducted on topics like market and audience as well as existing children's books. The research helped the author learn how nursery rhymes are presented for children, influencing the decision to use a simple art style. More research is still needed on integrating words and images appealingly and affordably publishing/printing the book.
Reflection eu
The reflections from four students on their group project compare their work to two other groups. They note what information was missing, adequate, or sufficient in the other groups' reports. The students also reflect on their own contributions, what went well, and how they could improve for future group work. Communication and cooperation were identified as important lessons learned.
Personal introduction manisfesto
The document outlines a session on creating personal introductions using a "Personal Introduction Manifesto." It introduces the concept of remembering people based on personal details rather than just professional details. It then outlines an activity where participants will create their own personal introduction maps following the Personal Introduction Manifesto framework of prioritizing personal qualities, interests, social structure, and geographical origin over professional details like work history and designation. The session aims to help participants create personal connections, learn about each other, and have a takeaway of their own personal introduction map to use in future events.

`Evaluation
Jordan completed a project designing 3 posters for 3 beers for a client called Brass Castle. While the designs went through several iterations and Jordan struggled initially, they were ultimately happy with the final posters. However, communication with the client was limited and the open brief made the project challenging to manage. For future projects, Jordan plans to find a client they can get more feedback from to help guide the work, and improve their time management and planning.
7. evaluation(1)
Oliver Ingham evaluates his work on a research project. His strengths included having full control over his research and planning. However, he also easily distracted himself by watching YouTube instead of working. For planning, Oliver's strength was deciding his schedule, but he gave himself too much time on some tasks. While he finished on time, Oliver wasted time by not starting new tasks right away. His magazine cover design was simple but lacked creativity. The double page spread was the weakest part. Overall, Oliver could have improved by focusing better, managing his time more efficiently, and putting more effort into design aspects like the double page spread.

SXSW - Diving Deep: Best Practices For Interviewing Users
While we know, from a very young age, how to ask questions, the skill of getting the right information from users is surprisingly complex and nuanced. This session will focus on getting past the obvious shallow information into the deeper, more subtle, yet crucial, insights. If you are going to the effort to meet with users in order to improve your designs, it's essential that you know how to get the best information and not leave insights behind. Being great in "field work" involves understanding and accepting your interviewee's world view, and being open to what they need to tell you (in addition to what you already know you want to learn). We'll focus on the importance of rapport-building and listening and look at techniques for both. We will review different types of questions, and why you need to have a range of question types. This session will explore other contextual research methods that can be built on top of interviewing in a seamless way. We'll also suggest practice exercises for improving your own interviewing skills and how to engage others in your organization successfully in the interviewing experience.

Third Journal Entry What was the principle I selected .docx
Third Journal Entry
What was the principle I selected?
I chose Principle 4, which states that ‘Be a good listener…Encourage others to talk about
themselves.’
Whom did I interact with?
I interacted with Mr. Ben Jackson, a local musician who has been struggling to finding a
manager to help him navigate the tough entertainment industry in the country. Mr. Jackson
has not been making enough sales due to the lack of proper management of his music career.
What was the context?
The context of my meeting with Jackson was that I could help him in the management of his
music career. I told him that I could help him connect with the players in the market and that
my role would help him increase the sales of his songs and any other product that he could
have relating to his career. I also offered to help him navigate the various regulatory and legal
issues that relate to the music market.
What did I expect?
I expected Mr. Jackson to be reluctant to accept my offer but he certainly could think over it
for some time before him contacting me for a deal. I also expected him to listen to the plan I
was explaining to him and eventually agree to it given the fact that he was interested in
finding a manager.
What happened?
It happened that the day we met, Mr. Jackson had not made enough sales for some time and
he was struggling to pay the pending bills. When I explained to him the plan that I had, he
was eager to agree to it and we actually started our partnership the same day. He was ready to
offer me all the details that I required and my first music management assignment started off
on the same day.
How did it make me feel?
I felt so contented with my achievements and I felt motivated and committed to help Mr.
Jackson succeed in his career.
What did I learn?
From the experience, I learned that people require being motivated and that giving hope to
people when they are at their desperate moments can help boost their morale.
What surprised me?
I was surprised by how effective my plan was and how fast I was able to convince Mr.
Jackson to let me manage his music career. I never filled any application form and our
partnership started the same day I contacted him.
How can I apply this going forward?
In the days to come, I believe that I will be offering motivation and hope to people while at
the weakest points in their life. I believe that my input will help boost their morale, which
will then motivate them succeed even more.

people when they are at their desperate moments can help boost their morale.
What surprised me?
I was surprised by how effective my plan was and how fast I was able to convince Mr.
Jackson to let me manage his music career. I never filled any application form and our
partnership started the same day I contacted him.
How can I apply this going forward?
In the days to come, I believe that I will be offering motivation and hope to people while at
the weakest points in their life. I believe that my input will help boost their morale, which
will then motivate them succeed even more.

Eric's information interview tips
Non-profit careers are particularly dependent on networking and Information Interviews are the best way to expand your network. I wrote this guide to Information Interviews for a colleague who was looking to change careers in 2007. Thanks to my friend Anik Muhkeja for teaching me the concept in the first place.
Design thinking 101
Design thinking is a human-centered process that involves empathizing with users, defining problems from their perspective, ideating multiple solutions, prototyping ideas quickly and at low resolution, validating prototypes directly with users, and iterating the design based on feedback. The process emphasizes talking to and observing users to gain insights, immersing yourself in their experiences, reframing problems in novel ways, and rapidly testing ideas through building prototypes rather than finished products to learn early in the design cycle. The goal is to generate many ideas and get feedback to drive exponential improvement over iterations of the process.
What type of feedback persona are you?
This document introduces feedback personas as a framework to improve giving and receiving feedback. It describes six common personas: the Mother In Law, Perfectionist, Hothead, Friend, Teacher, and Emo. These personas are plotted based on two axes - how much they help others and avoid conflict. The Mother In Law, Perfectionist, and Hothead personas primarily help themselves, while the Friend, Teacher, and Emo personas aim to improve others. Each persona is defined by its characteristics and an example is given of feedback provided in that style. The document suggests using this framework to identify feedback styles and improve skills.
Fitness money episode 2 tyler bramlett
This document summarizes episode 2 of the Fitness Money Podcast. Logan and Tyler discuss how Tyler got his start in the fitness industry. Tyler was inspired by Logan's success building an online business. Tyler had been working in construction but got laid off, which pushed him to pursue fitness professionally. He started by helping to launch a group training program at a gym where his wife worked. Tyler took a percentage of profits rather than an hourly wage. In the first two months, he made $402, but this gave him experience and he has since found greater success opening more locations.

2. Attendees often take too many notes and feel overwhelmed afterwards instead of taking focused action. It's better to find one idea to implement thoroughly.
3. Many people hesitate in decision making and delay taking action, which is worse than making a wrong decision since indecision prevents progress.

- 2. Hi, I’m Karen. And I watch people for a living.
- 3. Some people call it ethnography, and you can, too. But the word isn’t so important.
- 4. The important part is understanding people, and I learned something about it that I want to tell you.
- 5. Just so you know I’m for real, here’s me creeping on a guy at his job.
- 6. And here I am listening to a business owner express how she feels about sales calls. (She’s not a fan.)
- 7. Also me, watching a music teacher try to list her services online.
- 8. What I typically do is spend a lot of time one on one with folks, and then try to discern what makes them tick.
- 9. (Me again, figuring that out.)
- 10. Five years ago, on a furniture design project, I was watching an Adobe developer at work, when I saw something that changed my life.
- 11. (I know that was a little click-baity, but I don’t wanna spoil it.)
- 12. Anyway, what I learned on that day sparked the development of a system of observation based on the metaphorical analysis of habitual behaviors.
- 13. In other words, I got a lot better at people-reading almost instantly.
- 14. But even if you don’t care about that part, it’s a pretty good story. I know this because I’ve been telling it since 2012, and no one’s gotten bored yet.
- 15. I want to tell you my story, and teach you how to understand and connect with people quickly by paying attention to the smallest things.
- 16. Knowing why people do what they do will help you be a more insightful strategist and communicator. It might even help you be a better human.
- 17. Here’s what I have in mind:
- 18. PART 1: A story about people-watching The 5 minutes that changed everything: watching Josh make a latte How I became an ethnographer: poetry, chakras, and a sociologist named Thomas Graphology interrupted: why handwriting analysis doesn’t work anymore
- 19. PART 1: A story about people-watching The 5 minutes that changed everything: watching Josh make a latte How I became an ethnographer: poetry, chakras, and a sociologist named Thomas Graphology interrupted: why handwriting analysis doesn’t work anymore PART 2: What it means for business Back to Josh: what I learned in the moment, and how it distilled my work Fast forward to now: how my company’s last study on rituals sparked a whole new thing
- 20. PART 1: A story about people-watching The 5 minutes that changed everything: watching Josh make a latte How I became an ethnographer: poetry, chakras, and a sociologist named Thomas Graphology interrupted: why handwriting analysis doesn’t work anymore PART 2: What it means for business Back to Josh: what I learned in the moment, and how it distilled my work Fast forward to now: how my company’s last study on rituals sparked a whole new thing PART 3: How to do it well Why this works: a brief examination of the beautifully patterned fabric of the universe Interior observation: why you have to understand yourself first, and how to do it Emotional hygiene: how to avoid accidentally falling in love with Josh and everyone else
- 21. Yes, it’s a lot. But I promise I’ve done this before.
- 22. Here I am teaching “Story Scouting” at Barkley before I worked there. (It’s probably why they hired me.)
- 23. This is a screenshot of a talk I gave at Google about being authentic. There’s a link to it in this proposal somewhere.
- 24. And here’s my teammate, Ricky, and I talking about emotional experience design at Gas Can this year.
- 25. For strategists and business owners who need to connect to their audiences and don’t have the resources to go hard, this talk will be a windfall.
- 26. For regular humans that want to get better at caring: ready yourself for a small tornado in the heart area.
- 27. This is going to be great.
- 28. THANKS!
