About This Webinar
These are stressful times! We all know the impact that stress has on our health and happiness.
But, as UX’ers we also need to be aware that we can’t do our jobs properly if we’re stressed. Empathy, cooperation, lateral thinking, listening, concentration (the list goes on) are all diminished.
Ben realised that he needed a tool-set to navigate stressful UX projects, so he trained and got certified in this area. He now runs workshops (alongside UX consulting) to share these tools and techniques with the UX community.
In this light-hearted practical talk, we will:
- Understand the physiology of stress
- Practice dialling our stress
- up and down (you can control it!)
- Lean on IA techniques to map the sources of stress
- Learn practical stress-management techniques for those hectic, messy UX projects!
