We’ve all been there: weeks into a project, you discover that you and your stakeholders have wildly different ideas about what you’re building — and why, and who it’s for. Or you’re sure you’ve found the right approach for what you’re designing (it’s obvious!), but you get nowhere when you present it to the client. Or maybe your teammates dig in their heels about the interactions you’ve designed: it’ll be too difficult to build and test, there just isn’t enough time.
These might seem like hopeless situations, ones that designers are doomed to face repeatedly. But don’t despair! There are effective, battle-tested strategies you can use to turn these situations around. We might not think of facilitation, persuasion, and negotiation as essential design skills, but Naomi believes they’re an indispensable part of any designer’s toolkit.
As a designer, you’re selling your ideas, work, approaches, and solutions all the time — whether you realize it or not. Naomi will talk about how understanding the dynamics at play in these situations — and honing the skills to navigate them — helps you be more successful with the things you care about.

Smashmouth words that work. Word of the day? Assertive. When you are ASSERTIVE, judges and opposing lawyers will try to frame you as "aggressive". This goes back to the days of both the Civil Rights Movement and Women's Movement when activists were framed as "militant" or "aggressive" when they were clearly non-violent. #FindTheOthers #WorkTogether

Evan literally assembled the table himself...with little help from Jed. Jed showed Evan the order of putting in the bolt and nut, got the correct ratchet out and showed Evan how to use it and that's all the help from Jed he got. What's funny is Jed went behind him to tighten the bolts and they didn't even need it! Good job Evan. :)
