Turning soft skills into your superpower with Minjun Chen

How can we turn our growth areas into areas of opportunity?
In this 45 min livestream Minjun and Femke will touch on the important skill of storytelling, and how storytelling can be leveraged within your design career - whether it be interviewing or the day to day work with cross functional partners.
They'll also touch on how to tackle difficult topics with your manager like promotions.
Minjun is was a product designer at Microsoft, designing an end-to-end search experience for Bing. Before joining Microsoft, she worked at Amazon and Wayfair, working on a variety of B2B and B2C products from membership subscription, supply chain to hardware. Outside her day-to-day work, Minjun enjoys damn good coffee and pilates.

Really enjoy the talk about storytelling! And is it possible to also list the storytelling resources shared by Minjun? Thanks a lot! :)

[@yicheng8857]

Very informative conversation. Love the "rule of 3" and always tell a story with an emphasis on overcoming conflicts & challenges. Thanks for sharing!

[@bms9243]

I really like this video, could you post the books and links she recommended here? Couldn't see chat after live is over here...

[@zohralakri9977]

Please make a video on storytelling while presenting your designs! Your videos are so specific and helpful and I feel you’d be able to provide great tips and examples in this area. It’s so hard to find videos on UX storytelling that aren’t generic!

[@femkedesign]

An entire module with multiple video lessons is dedicated to storytelling in my course :) maven.com/dive/product-strategy-for-designers?

Heya Femke, I'm from Melbourne (not that close but kinda close haha). Just wanna say thank you so much for sharing so much insightful UX content, they are incredibly helpful to juniors like me. I also find your career journey super insiring :) Thanks for sharing!

Loved the video and interview! very informative thank you. Love to see more interviews with you and other designers and their experiences.

[@PatriciaMasioni]

Where’re the resources (books/ videos) she mentioned on the video please?

[@PardeepSingh-vf7dg]

Plz tell me about your study ?

[@LorettaBangBang]

she said chinese literature or something. it was somewhat unrelated.

[@chechibo283]

pure name-dropping, 2 month for spotify, 10 month for microsoft-amazon etc but how sounds "she is a designer by spotify"! perfect for podcasts

[@femkedesign]

Let's celebrate one-another's careers instead of passing judgment and making mean comments - we read this :)
