She works with UXers, PMs, Engineers, and Data Professionals using a unique UXR-inspired framework to help them gain self-awareness, set goals, and achieve them.

SAVE THE DATE! The event will take place at 12pm EDT (NYC/Boston time), 6pm CET (Barcelona time), on September 19th. Register here.

Now, to this month’s issue!

We’d love to share some of the stories in the publication that weren’t selected for boosting, but we thought they were SO good that they deserved their special place in the newsletter. Here we go!

Neela blends her personal stories with researched advice, in her story Rebuilding Trust: After A Company Layoff, What’s Next?, capturing the complex emotional landscape of surviving layoffs while providing substantive strategies for leadership. In this era we live today, where major layoffs are happening everywhere, her story transitions into practical advice for leaders on how to rebuild trust and motivate their workforce post-layoff.

When Honesty Hurts (But Pays Off) is a story written by Jenny, where she shares the challenges of gender bias in the workplace, personal struggles, and her journey of growth and resilience. She highlights the importance of perseverance, self-improvement, and staying true to oneself, especially for women in a male-dominated field.

Faithe J Day wrote From English to AI: How Writers are Crafting the Future of LLMs, and I loved the self-reflection of her transition from humanities to technology. In this story, she offers insights into integrating creative skills in tech roles. She talks about her journey from being an English major and PhD in Communication to working in AI, and addresses concerns about AI replacing content writing jobs.
