“What an experience! Thank you Michele for being a phenomenal teacher and mentor. I learned so much from you over these last several months both as an observer and an all-in. I went from self-doubting my capacity for this work to feeling confident that I will thrive in it.”

“Michele—you are one of the most motivated, engaged, authentic, and passionate teachers I have known. What an impact you have. Thank you! I truly feel I am set up for success as a new user researcher—you have helped me build a strong foundation and provided a plethora of resources to turn to as I continue (forever) to grow as a researcher, collaborator, and change-maker.”

"I am so grateful you created a launching pad… ever since I reimagined my focus, portfolio and story I have been deluged with requests. You were right. UXR is where UX Design was 10+ years ago. It seems folks are focusing on the research skills when looking for designers. I went from getting hardly any interviews to getting tons… I couldn’t have done it without All-In SP21 ALAP. I am forever grateful!"
Rob Rausch, All-In and Observer Student, Winter 2021 and Spring 2021
Remarkable experience. Intellectually fascinating content. Highly organized yet flexible, human-centered, amazing love, support, plus the wonder of watching everyone succeed and get confident. Michele Ronsen has the magic recipe and is the most inspiring mentor in the biz!
Jason Shonk
“I couldn’t see how we could move into a more research-driven culture. This series armed me with the right knowledge, skills, and confidence to take action and now I am pioneering our research efforts throughout my product space. My manager and stakeholders are bought in and we are changing the culture in ways I did not think was possible. This experience gave me the confidence and know-how to do this. And The Enterprise User Experience org announced the UXR career path this morning.”

“The Ask Like a Pro Series helped improve my research game dramatically by starting with a solid plan. Prior to this course, my plans were not as robust or detailed. They got the job done, but now I’m able to set myself up for success for more demanding and complex projects.”

“I feel reinforced, reassured and reinvigorated. Listening to you made me once more realise how much I love UX / Design Research and its process, tactics and tools. My career transition was so worth it.”

“I enjoyed being in the program and I enjoyed being an observer. I remember trying to decide whether to invest in the program or not because of my financial situation since being unemployed. I made the right choice to invest in the program. I did not have any second thoughts about it because I knew it would be a great opportunity to learn about UX Research taught by you. I am thankful for the experience and the success I will have.”

Sandra Wang
“This course is really helping me fill in gaps but also giving me more confidence to carry on research projects. There's an assumption that since you're called a #userresearcher that you can figure this out. Having to do this all by myself was very daunting. I feel like now I am more equipped to handle basically anything.”
Sandra Wang, All-In Student, Fall 2020 Cohort
“The research plan class was an accessible yet helpfully detailed exploration of the ins and outs of writing a plan with a small cohort of other folks who are learning. We covered an amazing amount of information for such a short time, and I walked away from the class with a tangible work product. I realize that as complex as UXR can be, I can do it! I’m already signed up to take the next class in the series.”

Francesca Sabroso
“My biggest takeaway is probably what being a UX Researcher does *not* absolutely require. More specifically, that UXR does not require a Master’s or Ph.D. in it in order to be successful. I'm an older career changer, and I don't have a lot of time to spend in school (let alone the money). After your class, however, a UXR career feels doable.”

“The Ask Like a Pro series has definitely exceeded my expectations...and the bar was pretty high since I’d already had a few classes with you :)”
Rebecca Roseman, All-In Student, Spring 2020 Cohort
“I did eight interviews this week and have one additional 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.”
Mia Bruch
“Just wanted to join the pile-on and recommend Michele’s Ask Like a Pro series. I took it to get a thorough grounding in UXR after completing several projects and it really helped me understand the discipline and solidify my skills. Even with my previous experience, I now feel much more prepared to navigate the job market. I encourage all of you out there who are considering some kind of intensive to take the course.”
