Getting The Work You Want

Ep. #14 (re-run) Much of the work in UX and in our careers requires convincing others, about our ideas, our work, or our ability to do the work we want to do. My guest is Fiz Yazdi, a managing director at cxpartners in London and Bristol, UK. Fiz developed an approach to selling based on what’s called a ‘consultative’ model which Fiz adapted into a simple framework she uses in her own UX practice and has begun sharing it with others. ​​More about Fiz YazdiFiz is an enthusiastic design leader. She’s been consulting since the year 2000, tooling-up people, teams and organisations for success. She’s been on a journey from UX consultant to MD at cxpartners, helping it grow to one of the world’s leading independent innovation design consultancies. She's just started mentoring high growth, high tech start-ups too. Fiz always starts with people, and combines that with a deep respect for culture, business and technology to drive damn good work.Download Fiz Yazdi's Guide to Getting The Work You Want to Do www.cxpartners.co.ukTwitter: @cxpartners Connect with UX Cake!Website: uxcake.co Facebook Twitter Instagram  Subscribe to our newsletterDonate to UX Cake to keep the podcast going  Podcast music by hip-hop band Eaters (song Cruziero, album Simian Samba) Visit their page on Facebook to find more musicSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/uxcake.
