Invest to Progress! 13 UXR Events and 11+ Job Listings
Invest in your success: training, coaching networking and more
How are you investing in yourself and your team? Consider this as we get closer to year end. Investing in yourself is important regardless of industry, but especially to user research. In UXR, it’s critical we approach our work with a growth mindset and an open mind. At the end of the day, our goal is to learn and, ultimately, to improve something.
Now is the time to take stock and advantage of professional development and team-building dollars. Consider continuing education workshops, coaching, and corporate training to further your goals and plan for your career. Get a leg up on your peers. Take ownership of your career. You’re much more likely to achieve success and meet your goals!
