This slide show is tailored toward MPH graduate students and the academic job market, but can be useful for anyone who is interested in establishing a social media presence to improve their competitiveness on the job market.
It’s a given that much of our success as practitioners depends on our ability to foster meaningful relationships with our colleagues and customers. But what about our relationship with ourselves? When we ignore our emotions, act against our values, and become indifferent to our surroundings, we lose who we really are and run a much greater risk of not achieving our clients’ goals (and our own). In this talk, we'll explore how presence, adaptability, empathy, and influence can be our most effective design tools. And we'll address how to cultivate these qualities through intellectual, emotional, and physical practices we can integrate into our everyday routines.

DIY UX: Give Your Users an Upgrade (Without Calling In a Pro)Whitney Hess
Have you fallen in love with your solution and forgotten the original problem? Are you certain that your product actually makes people’s lives better? Not every company can hire someone like me to help you listen to your users, so you’re gonna have to learn how to do some of this stuff yourself. I’ll show you techniques to find out who your users are, what they really need and how to go about giving it to them in an easy to use and pleasurable way. And it doesn’t have to bankrupt you or kill your release date.
Do You Speak Jackal or Giraffe? Designing Sustainable RelationshipsWhitney Hess
Join this interactive session and discover the Empathy First method for peaceful teams. Whitney Hess, User Experience Coach, will show you how to apply Nonviolent Communication to everyday work conflicts we all experience. Find out if you're stuck in judgments and blame getting in the way of effective collaboration, and learn how to create better relationships with clients, colleagues, and yourself.
Emphasis will be on practical ways to give and receive empathy, and simple techniques that help us take responsibility for our own feelings and needs. All attendees will receive free handouts tailor-made for this audience.
Come to this session with prepared questions about the causes of conflict in the workplace. You can ask her anything! She will also share many of her own personal experiences and insights to guide and inspire you.
Takeaways:
- Exposure to the basics of Nonviolent Communication
- An understanding of how judgments, criticism and blame cause conflict and hurt productivity
- Clarity on why practicing empathy is important to effective teamwork
- A simple technique anyone can use to practice empathy for ourselves and others
- The desire to keep practicing, and an awareness of where to continue this learning
What's Your Problem? Putting Purpose Back into Your ProjectsWhitney Hess
“What do you do?” has become the standard opening line for getting to know someone. But if you were asked, “Why do you do what you do?” how would you answer? We are too narrowly focused on developing solutions for problems that we don’t understand, don’t care about, or worst of all, don’t actually exist. Life is too short to waste our time expertly creating something that matters to no one. Learn to find your “why.” Discover interviewing techniques to build greater empathy with your users, synthesizing techniques to uncover their underlying inefficiencies and frustrations, and tips to continually draw inspiration and long-term product vision from their lives.
10 Most Common Misconceptions About User Experience DesignWhitney Hess
Here's the presentation I gave at Pittsburgh Web Design Day (http://www.webdesignday.com) based on my article on Mashable (http://mashable.com/2009/01/09/user-experience-design/)
A few of the things that have crossed my mind over the last year or so that haven't landed in a blog post yet. Hoping that putting them here inspires me to actually get them there. Or at least to get back to writing with more consistency. Anyway, if anything in here spurs a thought, drop a note in the comments here or on the post where I shared them on the blog.
This is the presentation I shared at our (space150's) Deepspace event on Modern Brand Building. Dion Hughes of Persuasion Arts & Sciences and Adrian Ho of Zeus Jones shared some excellent thoughts on this topic of well (search for their presentations here too). Campaigning isn't quite the right term for what I was trying to say, but some good discussion followed the presentation, so it wasn't totally off. I'll be working to improve this, so if you have any thoughts, please share.
Designers can’t help themselves. We are, by nature, perfectionists. We create, then throw away. We create again, tweak continuously, and fine-tune a design indefinitely. Why can we not stop ourselves? Time passes us by, missing deadlines. In turn, developers anxiously wait for us to finish, so that they can work off of something that has been solidified. During this session, you will learn strategies that will push your design to that "good enough" stage, so you will know “when to say when” and move from designing interfaces to developing them.

Design Principles: The Philosophy of UXWhitney Hess
The visual principles of harmony, unity, contrast, emphasis, variety, balance, proportion, repetition, texture and movement (and others) are widely recognized and practiced, even when they aren’t formally articulated. But creating a good design doesn’t automatically mean creating a good experience.
In order for us to cultivate positive experiences for our users, we need to establish a set of guiding principles for experience design. Guiding principles are the broad philosophy or fundamental beliefs that steer an organization, team or individual’s decision making, irrespective of the project goals, constraints, or resources.
Whitney will share a universally-applicable set of experience design principles that we should all strive to follow, and will explore how you can create and use your own guiding principles to take your site or product to the next level.

Twitter is rapidly gaining a professional following, as it can be used to instantly share information about industry news, trends, and best practices with clients and colleagues. Twitter can also be used by workplace learning professionals in conducting training. This session will show you how to get started with Twitter and immediately begin using it to enhance training sessions, spread brand awareness, and stay on top of trending information.
Learning Objectives:
Promote your brand (whether as a professional consultant or as an expert in WLP)
Share knowledge with colleagues, clients, and learning participants
Improve relationships with colleagues, clients, and learning participants through meaningful communication on Twitter
Use Twitter as a research and news gathering tool to stay informed of industry trends.
Twitter is rapidly growing as a great research tool, a way to communicate with clients and colleagues, and share knowledge rapidly. Twitter can be used by workplace learning professionals in conducting training as well. This session will show beginners how to get started and set up a Twitter account, but also how to effectively use to communicate with clients, colleagues, and training participants. While mobile devices and smartphones like iphones and Droids have enabled mobile learning, Twitter is becoming more and more a way to communicate informally to get questions answered, and find out what’s happening around you at any time…and to pass it along to colleagues, friends, and business partners. The intended audience is someone who wants to learn more about Twitter and is open to adapting to the latest trends in technology.
