June 2018: Soft Skills Are Hard, with Steve Portigal

Steve Portigal is no stranger to Waterloo Region, having spoken at the second edition of Fluxible back in 2013, and again in 2015. Now, through the miracle of video calling, Steve joins us at uxWaterloo to help navigate the potentially tricky skills of communication and collaboration.

Working successfully in UX entails communicating and collaborating with a diverse range of individuals in other geographies, organizations and disciplines. But we’re people first and workers second. We’ll take a hard look at what it really takes for people to get work done — working with colleagues, leaders, and users — and trying to deal better with ourselves! These are the skills we know we need, but we rarely spend time or effort to develop.

Note that Steve will be presenting remotely for this event, through the miracle of the internet-enabled transmission of sound and images.

Pizza and drinks will be served at the event.
