I believe, as a woman, as a wife, as a mom, as a sister, a daughter, that we are okay with setting boundaries and saying no, and saying, you know what, I'm sorry, this doesn't feel right, and that's not easy to do sometimes.” Let's Connect!

What is the secret to consistently delivering high-quality work, day in and day out...Recently, I was chatting with my neighbours who run a bespoke interior design and manufacturing business.They make truly stunning, customised pieces for the upper market.It's easy to think their success hinges on exceptional craftsmanship, which is surely part of it.But what really keeps their business running smoothly is something far more fundamental.In my conversation with them, we agreed that most of it comes down to things like having the right supplies available, making sure everything in its place so it can be found quickly, that tools in tip-top shape, and even something as simple as having lunch prepared so you don't have to worry about it.These basic and somewhat "boring" conditions, are what enable them to deliver consistently high-quality work. Without them, production would be a slog, quality would be all over the map, and let's face it, they probably wouldn't be in business for very long.We often take these kinds of conditions for granted. When things are running like a well-oiled machine, we assume that's just how it's supposed to be.But you, as a service design professional, know that the conditions for delivering your best work are often far from guaranteed.In fact, it can often feel like your organization is actively making your job harder, not easier.This brings us to the question: What would it take to create the ideal conditions for service design to achieve its maximum impact? And how can we actually put those conditions in place?Well, as you might have guessed already, that's where Design Operations (aka DesignOps) comes in.Getting started with DesignOps (or scaling it) can be a real challenge, especially in organizations that don't have a strong design heritage.But the good news is that John Calhoun and Rachel Posman have done the heavy lifting for us. They've gathered best practices from experienced DesignOps professionals and compiled them into a brand-new book "The Design Conductors".This book promises to help you kickstart or scale your DesignOps efforts more effectively, make a bigger impact, and sidestep common pitfalls. The result? Making your life as a service design professional a whole lot easier!So, with this foresight, we of course need to know more about this book.And you guessed it, that's exactly what this episode is all about.Here's already one key insight from the conversation: Every organization is already doing design operations. Most are just doing it unconsciously and missing out on the benefits. Yeah, there's a lot of low-hanging fruit waiting to be picked...--- [ 1.

Whether supporting neurodivergent individuals with socio-emotional challenges or helping clients cultivate self-esteem, Sonia provides practical, personalized guidance to help clients thrive in their personal and professional lives.Note from Sonia Chand"Diagnosed with autism in my twenties, I turned my journey of self-discovery into a calling to help others embrace their unique paths.Through my upcoming book, Dropped in a Maze: My Life on the Spectrum, and my podcast, I share stories and insights that challenge stereotypes and foster deeper understanding of neurodiversity. My work is driven by a vision of a more inclusive world—one where neurodivergent habits, traits, and quirks are celebrated as strengths rather than seen as shortcomings. I believe our differences are not detours; they are the map to our truest selves."Buy the Book Now => Dropped in a Maze: My Life on the SpectrumVisit Sonia Krisha Chand's website here =>About this podcastSonia discusses her book, which chronicles her experiences with high-functioning autism and navigating life's challenges. She shares her inspiration for writing, the positive reception the book has received, and its potential impact on understanding neurodiversity. Favour and Sonia also explore strategies for promoting the book, particularly through Pinterest and speaking engagements. They touch upon the themes of personal growth, advocacy, and using one's story to connect with and inspire others. Sonia also mentions her podcast, "On the Spectrum with Sonia," which further explores these topics and highlights stories of overcoming adversity.Frequently Asked Questions with Sonia1. What was the initial inspiration behind writing your book, "Dropped in a Maze"? The inspiration struck in 2005 while attending a book fair in Chicago. Witnessing numerous authors openly sharing their personal stories, including experiences of war, trauma, and hardship, deeply moved me. It sparked the realization that my own story, navigating life after a late diagnosis of high-functioning autism, was also worth telling. As we were leaving, the thought, "Oh my god, I need to write my story. If they're telling their story, why can't I?" became the catalyst for "Dropped in a Maze."2. What are some of the core themes explored in "Dropped in a Maze"? The book delves into various aspects of navigating life with high-functioning autism, both before and after the diagnosis at age 20. Key themes include the feeling of being socially and emotionally lost ("like being blindfolded in the maze of life"), the challenges of social connection and peer rejection, struggles with sensory issues and change, and learning at a different pace (including failing second grade). It also explores navigating different types of friendships, including toxic ones, and the complexities of therapeutic relationships, alongside broader themes of career, loneliness, and ostracism.3. What kind of impact has "Dropped in a Maze" had on readers since its launch? The book has resonated with a diverse audience. I've received messages from individuals who were also diagnosed late on the autism spectrum and found common ground, even across cultural backgrounds. A therapist found it helpful professionally and wrote a review. Notably, an editor who worked on the book, a former teacher, expressed wishing she had access to it during her teaching career, highlighting its potential educational value in understanding neurodiversity.How to stay connected with me

Episode 213 of The Business Development Podcast dives into the four essential marketing materials every business needs to dominate in 2025. Kelly Kennedy breaks down why high-impact websites, bold and visually compelling brochures, memorable business cards, and a strong LinkedIn presence are non-negotiable for business success. With shrinking attention spans and increasing competition, he emphasizes the importance of visual appeal, strategic messaging, and minimal but powerful wording to capture interest and drive engagement.Beyond just having marketing materials, Kelly explains how to optimize them for maximum effectiveness. He highlights why websites must be sleek and conversion-focused, how brochures remain a secret sales weapon, and why LinkedIn is now a mandatory part of any marketing strategy. If you're looking to modernize your approach and ensure your materials attract the right clients, this episode provides a clear, actionable guide to standing out and winning in 2025.Key Takeaways: 1. Marketing materials are critical for business success in 2025 and must be designed to capture attention quickly. 2. A high-impact website acts as your “20-story skyscraper” and must be visually appealing, SEO-optimized, and conversion-focused. 3. Brochures remain a powerful sales tool, especially when designed with bold statements, strong visuals, and minimal wording. 4. A pocket-style brochure folder allows for customizable, industry-specific inserts, making it a versatile marketing asset. 5. Business cards are still relevant but must be high-quality, visually appealing, and contain only essential information. 6. LinkedIn is now a mandatory marketing material, requiring an optimized profile, strong branding, and active engagement. 7. Video content is king—integrating video into websites and marketing materials builds trust and enhances engagement. 8. Attention spans are shorter than ever, so marketing materials must be designed to hook viewers in seconds. 9. Consistency in branding across websites, brochures, business cards, and LinkedIn creates a stronger, more memorable presence. 10. The ultimate goal of marketing materials is not just to inform, but to generate interest and secure meetings that lead to business growth.
