How leaders can change their environment through empathy? Welcome to Good Morning UX! In this episode, we sit down with Whitney Hess, a seasoned user experience designer, and coach, on a mission to put humanity back into the business. She believes empathy builds empires. We discuss how to change, build, and envision a career in UX design. We start with a gentle provocation: What if you could find a career that paid the bills and made you truly happy? How would that change your life? Whitney offers insights on making that dream a reality, drawing on her experiences as a UX designer and coach. Throughout the conversation, we touch on various aspects of career development, from identifying your strengths and values to creating a personal brand and portfolio that showcases your work. Whitney also shares valuable tips on transitioning from one career to another and having meaningful conversations about career goals with your manager or mentor. We wrap up with a discussion of leadership and what it means to be a successful UX designer. Whitney emphasizes the importance of empathy, curiosity, and self-awareness in this field, encouraging viewers to embrace their unique strengths and perspectives.

#032 Every community member is special, of course. But some are extra special. Today Tony is flying solo, and he's going to be talking about a very special type of member in every community: the super member, the one at the very center of your community culture. To explore that topic, he's bringing in a close friend and former member of the community he ran in NYC, New Work City: Whitney Hess. Whitney started out as a community experience designer, and has now become a renowned executive coach. Whitney shares a bit about her experience as a member of New Work City, and what made it possible for her to step into that space as a super member. You'll hear about how community leaders can operate in a “power-with” paradigm of community leadership and management and nurture their own super members.

Sponsored By: Panelists Justin Dorfman | Eric Berry | Richard Littauer Guest Whitney Hess (https://whitneyhess.com/) Executive Coach Show Notes Whitney Hess is the special guest today. She is an Executive Coach, supporting business leaders of various kinds to help them be the best version of themselves. With COVID-19 happening right now it’s affecting everyone. People are stressed, overwhelmed, emotional, anxious, and have a whole rollercoaster of emotions. Remember, we are all human and you are not alone. And, if you’ve never meditated, you will want to after listening to this episode. 01:21 Whitney clarifies what an Executive Coach is and what she does. She also explains how she differentiates from a Life Coach. 03:00 To cut to the chase, Richard wonders how COVID-19 has affected her business and how has it affected the way she helps people during this time. 05:35 On the brighter side of things, Whitney talks about how people are able to work on legacy code because their companies aren’t as in demand and they can do various things that they’ve been putting off. 06:50 Justin wants to know if maintainers would get a lot of value out of Whitney’s management coaching, especially helping FOSS Responders who are dealing with COVID-19. 12:34 “Empathy” is discussed in depth. There is a misconception about empathy and Whitney also explains self-empathy. 15:59 Eric has a question about persona, and he wonders if there is a mother and a maintainer and she’s really stressed, has to feed her kids, teach them, maintain open source and she doesn’t have time to walk away from her computer, what advice does Whitney have for that sort of person. Let’s say “meditation” is talked about, and reprioritizing and re-evaluating our values. 22:37 Richard talks about how one night he hit rock bottom emotionally and physically and what he did to make himself happy. Justin talks about how he was feeling fatigued by everything happening with work and what’s happening in the world and what he did to feel mentally separated and enjoy himself. 25:27 Whitney stresses how especially now, we need to allow ourselves moments of joy. Try to find a little bit of space to allow ourselves to be happy in that moment. She goes more into this with some very uplifting advice. Quotes 12:48 “I think a misconception about empathy is that it’s all about what we give to others, when in actuality it starts with what we give to ourselves.” 14:28 “You need to put your oxygen mask on first before you help others!” 17:17 “If you don’t have time to meditate once a day, meditate twice a day!” Links Whitney Hess (https://whitneyhess.com/) Whitney Hess Twitter (https://twitter.com/whitneyhess?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) Whitney Hess Blog (https://whitneyhess.com/blog/) “My Neighbor Totoro” (https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/amzn1.dv.gti.1cb73a61-ce14-22f8-c897-e68434bc69eb?autoplay=1) Special Guest: Whitney Hess.

TheSparkAndTheArt.com/111 – Whitney and I talk about her starting out in computer sciences - and hating it - loving her writing major and how she stumbled on a course for Human Computer Interaction which lead her to her first user experience position. While the whole conversation is fantastic, I think my favourite part is the last 5 minutes where Whitney builds on how curiosity and creativity work together. **- Links for this episode -**Whitney Hess - https://whitneyhess.com/Whitney Hess Twitter - https://twitter.com/whitneyhess
