People and the art of interviewing are living, breathing things. That’s one key reason why it’s so difficult to master this absolutely foundational skill.

Do know what makes a moderated interview successful?

This workshop will ensure you improve your facilitation skills. We provide you with the tools to author a discussion guide and help you write, sequence, and evaluate questions and activities to gather actionable feedback and maximize your session times.

Here’s what you’ll learn in the INTERVIEW workshop.

  • Master the art, science (and improv!) of crafting discussion guides that build empathy and deliver results 

  • Learn techniques on how to build rapport, probe deeply and mine for stories that lead to insights and action 

  • Understand the criteria of a successfully moderated interview and monitor your performance over time with our evaluation tools and tactics 

  • Recognize when to deviate from your guide, when your interviews are complete and when it’s time to begin synthesizing (so you won’t waste time) 

  • Interpret body language, tone of voice, and facial expressions to unlock hidden meanings behind the transcripts

  • Gain confidence in your interview skills with live, immediate feedback during in-class practice exercises

  • Takeaway: A well-drafted discussion guide

And here’s exactly what you get…

  • Immediate, lifetime access to the tools, templates, pre-recorded video lessons, and live INTERVIEW workshop from a previous cohort.

  • 2.5 hours of a live workshop led by Michele that you can watch and replay whenever you want.

  • Access to an easy-to-use, all-in-one online education platform where all your tools, templates, and videos are housed.

“I did 8 interviews this week and have 1 additional one scheduled for Monday. Thank you again for the opportunity to take on this research project for Curiosity Tank! The combination of workshop learning and going out and doing has been a fantastic way to develop my user research skills. I learned so much from every single interview this week.”

Created and led by Michele Ronsen, CEO of Curiosity Tank 

Hey there! I’m Michele Ronsen.

I’ve been conducting qualitative research on behalf of Fortune 500s and start ups for nearly a decade. I’ve helped companies like Facebook, Zillow, and Slack make better products, services, and more informed business decisions. My clients rely on me when they want data and insights that are accurate and actionable and when they want to build their team's in-house research acumen.

In these workshops, I’m giving you everything I use: templates, guidelines, scripts, and more, so you are covered in this series and for research you’ll run in the future.

Using my experience with countless studies, launches, iterations, and collaborations, I'll show you the skills you absolutely need, demonstrate how the theory comes to life in practice, and dozens of shortcuts that save time and money.

I know you need someone right by your side to ask, “what’s next?” That's why the workshop series is super small and interactive. Join me to "learn-by-doing" and have some fun along the way.

Interview Like a Pro is part of the 6-part Ask Like a Pro series for professionals who want to learn the ins-and-outs of conducting insightful customer research.
