In this special episode from the American Marketing Association conference, Carrie sits down with Claire Skelton, Assistant Director of Content Marketing at Southeast Missouri State University, and Nikki Peters, Design Manager at the same institution. They discuss the impact of leadership lessons, the value of continuous learning, and the excitement of their first AMA conference. If you're a higher education marketing professional or someone stepping into leadership roles, their experiences will resonate deeply.Key TakeawaysContinuous Learning Fuels Leadership Growth: Claire and Nikki emphasize that leadership is an ongoing journey, not a destination.Collaborative Development Strengthens Teams: Completing leadership courses together allowed them to reflect, share insights, and grow as leaders.Flexibility in Leadership Matters: Tailoring leadership styles to individual team members is a game-changer.Networking and Shared Experiences Are Priceless: The conference provides a unique opportunity to connect with peers facing similar challenges and to explore innovative solutions.First-Time Attendees Should Take the Leap: The advice is simple—if you're debating attending next year, go.The Power of Shared Leadership Development Claire and Nikki shared how the Lessons in Leadership course shaped their approach to managing teams and fostering collaboration. By taking the course together, they identified each other's strengths and weaknesses, creating a space for vulnerability and growth. Weekly meetings became a cornerstone of their development, offering a chance to reflect on insights, identify areas for improvement, and brainstorm how to adapt their leadership styles to meet the needs of their diverse teams.This collaborative approach highlights an essential takeaway: leadership growth is amplified when it's shared. Leaders who hold themselves and others accountable can create meaningful change for their teams and organizations.Situational Leadership and Self-Awareness A key insight from the course that resonated with Nikki and Claire was the importance of situational leadership. Nikki explained how tailoring her approach based on the unique needs of her team members and projects allowed her to adapt more effectively. Flexibility, she noted, is a critical skill for navigating the fast-paced challenges of higher education marketing.Claire highlighted the importance of self-awareness, particularly around communication. Recognizing tendencies, such as unintentionally interrupting others, and making a conscious effort to listen more effectively, helped her grow as a leader. Both agreed that leadership is as much about personal reflection as it is about team management.First-Time Conference Experiences and Advice Both Claire and Nikki expressed excitement about their first AMA conference and the wealth of knowledge it offers. With sessions on branding, leadership, CRM strategies, and social media tactics, they are eager to return to their teams with actionable insights. For Nikki, rebranding at their institution provided a timely opportunity to absorb fresh perspectives on guiding her team through significant changes.The networking opportunities were another highlight. Meeting peers at the welcome reception and engaging with vendors gave them a sense of belonging in a larger professional community. Their advice to first-time attendees: “Go for it.” The energy, shared challenges, and inspiring ideas make it an invaluable experience. - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Mallory Willsea https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallorywillsea/https://twitter.com/mallorywillseaSeth Odell https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethodell/https://twitter.com/sethodellAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:The Higher Ed Pulse is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

Member of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in the United Kingdom. Show Highlights The role of transportation in addressing indirect emissions. The value of travel for broadening perspectives in green building. DIMAND focuses on large redevelopments and major renovations revitalizing underutilized urban areas. Responsible for 45% of LEED certified projects in Greece Piraeus Tower Project: a landmark development and a key part of Greece's transition into a new era of urban renewal. Aim to repurpose existing structures, reducing the environmental impact associated with new construction. Community engagement is a key focus to meet local needs and enhance neighborhood vitality. Involve facility management from pre-design phase for optimal operation. Comprehensive carbon footprint assessments allow for the identification of both direct and indirect emissions, enabling targeted strategies to reduce overall environmental impact. Incorporating facility management expertise early in the design phase can optimize building performance and ensure that sustainability features are effectively utilized throughout the building's lifecycle.

We seriously need to do something about it. So all of you that are jumping in the green building movement just keep focused, try your best to reverse the harm that has been done over the past years, and always be positive. Also, travel. I think by traveling, you get so many ideas and you get to see what other countries are doing.

Tu peux soutenir sur le podcast sur KissKissBankBank ou en mettant 5⭐️ sur Apple Podcasts ou Spotify !Alexia est Designer Advocate chez Figma.Alors qu'elle suit un parcours scientifique au lycée, Alexia se voit proposer en fin de première de basculer sur parcours littéraire. C'est à ce moment là qu'Alexia comprend ce qu'elle veut faire de sa vie et s'autorise à suivre ses études en école d'art.Par la suite, Alexia veut partir de Paris. Elle tente une première fois les écoles d'arts à Londres mais ne les obtient pas. Elle fait alors une Foundation Year, sorte de MANAA, avant de retenter les écoles d'arts et de rejoindre Saint Martins à Londres. Elle se spécialise dans la conception de produits industriels.Durant ses 3 années d'études, Alexia découvre des gens qui pensent comme elle et développe un véritable sentiment d'appartenance avec eux. Elle y apprend également le Design Thinking : recherche utilisateur, recherche ethnographique, passer du temps avec les utilisateurs, génération d'idées, maquettage, tests, etc.Au cours de ses études , Alexia va faire un stage chez BETC. Elle est alors confrontée à une mentalité diamétralement opposée à l'anglo-saxonne : les designers sont là pour exécuter les demandes, par pour réfléchir à des solutions. Cette expérience remet même en cause sa carrière, au point où Alexia se demande si elle est vraiment faite pour être designer…A sa sortie d'école, Alexia rejoint Roust, un fabricant russe de vodka, en tant que Design Manager. Elle y fait de la gestion de projet, dans un contexte créatif, au sein du studio de design de l'entreprise. Elle et son équipe travaillent sur les bouteilles, étiquettes et packaging de différentes marques d'alcool de l'entreprise. Dans le podcast, elle revient sur ses 3 années et demie dans l'entreprise et nous explique concrètement ses missions et son travail du quotidien.Alexia n'ayant pas envie de partir en Russie pour monter dans l'entreprise, elle décide de quitter Roust. Mais, elle a dû mal à trouver un nouveau poste, avec un “simple” diplôme de designer. Elle décide alors de compléter ses études avec un master en marketing et créativité à l'ESCP. Ce passage en école de commerce lui permet de réaliser qu'elle veut refaire du design, et surtout du design d'interface.A la fin de son master, Alexia rejoint l'agence Publicis Sapient comme stagiaire Designer et y travaille pour la RATP. A la fin de son stage, elle intègre la régie des transports parisiens.Elle travaille à la remise à plat de la nouvelle version de l'application Bonjour RATP, qui est dans la tourmente depuis sa sortie car elle a perdu en fonctionnalité et propose a des partis pris UX déstabilisants pour les usagers.Alexia revient sur cette expérience qui l'a amené à faire du Product Design son métier, ce qui a été mis en place pour redresser la barre et améliorer BonjourRATP ou encore ce qu'elle a appris au cours de son passage dans l'entreprise.Alexia et son équipe pousse très loin l'utilisation de Figma pour simplifier leur travail. Lors d'une présentation de leurs méthodes de travail pour Figma, Alexia découvre que l'entreprise recrute un Designer Advocate en France. Alors qu'elle trouve qu'elle apprend de moins en moins à la RATP, Alexia s'intéresse à ce poste dont elle ignore tout.Alexia rejoint donc Figma en tant que Designer Advocate. Un rôle qui n'a pas vraiment de limites claires et qui dépend de chacun. Alexia nous explique en quoi consiste son rôle et ce qu'elle fait au quotidien chez Figma pour promouvoir le design et son entreprise.Les ressources de l'épisodeFigmaDu cauchemar à la beauté organisationnelleDesigning Design, Kenya HaraAbstractPierre GeorgesLes autres épisodes de Design JourneysCase Study #3, Le Système de Design de l'État avec Missak Kéloglanian#51 Marine Boudeau, Responsable @ DesignGouv & DINUM#58 Dezzie Dimbitsara, UX Lead, Product Inclusion & Equity @ Google#71 Nicolas Morand, Head of Design & Innovation @ LuniiPour contacter AlexiaLinkedInTwitter

There are few people in this industry more enthusiastic about their job than artist and Senior Design Manager at Stellantis, Dan Zimmermann. For many of us, our love of the automotive hobby came from family, and for Dan it was no different. Now of course, growing up in his grandfather's body shop didn't hurt, but it was more the guidance of both his father and grandfather that really left an impression. From there it was art school and befriending those like-minded in the way of design, until ultimately his craft was honed into the excellence it is today. On this episode of the Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ Podcast, host Mike Musto sits down with Dan to talk design philosophy, where inspiration comes from, aesthetics, and more importantly, what's gained by sometimes drawing outside the lines and not following convention.

If you've ever visited The Graph website, then you've seen many of the contributions James and his team have made – from the smallest design elements, like the buttons on the site, all the way up to the design of the user experience and interface.During this enlightening interview, James talks about his journey into Web3, Edge & Node, and The Graph. And if you're a long-time listener of the podcast, then you will recognize many familiar storylines in James' story that are shared by prior guests, including a period of time when James met and worked alongside the founders and other early community members of The Graph at MuleSoft.As you will hear, James has a well-thought-out and deep conviction for the utility of The Graph, the Web3 ethos, along with the design of The Graph protocol and its incentives structure. We also talk about his move from aspiring architect to UX designer working in tech, his initial reluctance of crypto, and then his move to Edge & Node. And toward the end of the interview, James will introduce you to an analogy he uses to explain how The Graph works - and it's a new one that I'm sure you'll find helpful!Show NotesThe GRTiQ Podcast takes listeners inside Web3 and The Graph (GRT) by interviewing members of the ecosystem.
