Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Maureen is an accomplished User Researcher & Service Designer with 7 years of industry experience across diverse fields. Her design & research efforts support decision-making in highly technical problem spaces, ranging from global health policy-making, local economics, and most recently, product design for enterprise software for Commercial Property Insurance provider, FM Global. Maureen utilizes expertise in data visualization to craft clear, compelling storytelling for designers through to Senior leadership. In addition to her product work, she's also a mentor and leader, working 1:1 with aspiring UX Researchers through ADPList, and collaborating directly with Senior management to develop training initiatives and resources for FM Global's 40-person UX organization.In our conversation, we discuss:* Understanding how low-maturity organizations hire UX professionals but struggle with integration and decision-making.* The importance of adopting a challenge mindset to overcome organizational constraints and thrive despite them.* Building deeper relationships with stakeholders by understanding their goals and positioning yourself as a valuable partner.* How to create opportunities for career advancement by focusing on high-impact work and identifying organizational needs.* Effective strategies for presenting research and feedback in a way that fosters collaboration and reduces defensiveness.Some takeaways:* Recognizing where your organization falls on UX maturity scales (such as Nielsen Norman's model) helps in setting realistic expectations and strategies. It's essential to acknowledge that a low-maturity organization is not a reflection of your skills but rather an environmental challenge to navigate.* Embracing a challenge mindset, rather than a threat response, helps researchers see constraints as opportunities for innovation. Viewing colleagues as allies rather than obstacles fosters more productive relationships and enables better advocacy for user research.* Just as researchers advocate for user empathy, they should extend that same empathy to stakeholders. Understanding their business goals and collaborating rather than competing fosters trust and mutual success.* In low-maturity environments, career growth isn't always linear. Researchers should proactively seek high-value work, propose solutions to persistent challenges, and align their work with business priorities to demonstrate impact.* When working with resistant stakeholders, depersonalizing feedback using structured formats (like user requirements documents) helps focus discussions on problem-solving rather than blame, creating a more collaborative environment.Where to find Maureen:* Website* LinkedInThe Impact Membership : A space for user researchers who think biggerYou know your craft.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: I have started a local community in Zambia for students, graduates, and professionals based on the principles outlined in the 80,000 Hours book. In this thread, I will keep you updated on its progress., published by Muloongo Stella Mwanahamuntu on April 10, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Geography has much to do with your economic status, including access to knowledge and opportunities. I am from Zambia and was privileged to stumble upon the Effective Altruism community that aligns with SOME of my values and the kind of life I want to live. There are a lot of conversations I feel I can't participate in on this forum because of my geography and limited work/academic experience/network so far - I probably will someday. I am so motivated to do this because I never had any career guidance at any point in my life. After five years of working as a product design consultant, co-founding some businesses, and a master's degree, I haven't resolved what I want to do with my career, so I am very happy to be building an EA community in my country while I engage with the 80,000 HOURS book online and in person. I am also being mentored by Felix Lee, co-founder of ADPList, which is great because I can learn from his experiences going from being a product designer to his mission to solve many shortcomings of the current education system that hinder the choice to pursue potential career paths. Some goals that I have and will track in this thread for accountability Grow the page's following on Instagram and TikTok to 1000. Facilitate monthly online meetings where followers meet local professionals working in EA cause areas. Connect with companies like Udemy, Data Camp, and Coursera to provide scholarships to the community because most of us can't afford the few hundred dollars to pay for those courses. THIS IS A BIG ONE - Organise one career fair for students and graduates. On a more personal note, I look forward to becoming an effective communicator in the EA community. I also have my fingers crossed that I will become a human-centered design lecturer at a university in Zambia.

How can we improve our careers? How can we improve our lives? How can we get to be a better version of ourselves? These are the types of questions that we all have had, at one point or another. The answers are tricky and multi-faceted, but boil down to the same thing: receiving knowledge from someone else who has experienced it. This is what Felix Lee, founder of ADPList has done. Along with his talented team, he has put together one of the world's best mentor/mentee communities. This community is available for free for anyone to use, and cuts through the noise to give its users access to some of the best knowledge and experience that exists. As Felix puts it, "leveraging on someone else's 24hrs. Take 30 minutes to learn something from someone, accelerate your learning". In this episode, we talk to Felix about the background of ADPList, how he got started, and discuss the value of mentorship.

Today I'm speaking with Mariyam Elshrief a UX Designer at ServiceChannel in San Francisco, CA. I first met Mariyam when I interviewed her for a role at Prudential Financial. She was incredibly smart, able to think on her feet, and one of the best interviews I can remember having. That's why I brought her on the show. At the time in her career, she didn't have a ton of experience. What she lacked in professional experience though she made up for in curiosity and a ton of hackathons and personal projects that really showed a scope of knowledge far beyond her years of employment. In this episode Mariyam shares her origin story, switching from a computer science degree to UX Design [5:45]. Her time as a boot camp student at General Assembly [3:00]. Her interviewing preparation tactics [10:30], hackathons [8:50], portfolios [15:00], advice for younger designers [18:50. But most importantly her journey from UX mentee looking for a career to UX mentor guiding others in their own journey [21:29]. It's a great story and I hope you enjoy it.

In this episode, Coach Cami dives into the topic of your inner critic. Are you constantly nagging or berating yourself for what you should do, or what you haven't done? It just might be your inner critic! We all have one, but it can sometimes be hard to recognize it… much less make it work for you instead of against you. This session will provide strategies you can use to identify your critical inner voice and turn it from your enemy to your creative ally. This episode was recorded during an ADPList group session with attendees from all over the world.

As we continue through the holiday season, it's important to recognize what a stressful time of year it can be. Stress can bring out aspects of your brand in a way that becomes a tailwind, or something that slows you down and drags you back, rather than the positive headwind that you intended. So when stress hits, hit the pause button, take a breath and make sure that you are leading with your brand attributes at the right volume and intensity.
