SUMMARY:Knowledge Share: Making Introversion Work
DESCRIPTION:This Knowledge Share has been generously sponsored by Opinion Hub \nThis Knowledge Share will be presented by Carol Raithatha\, Carol Raithatha Ltd.  \nIntroverts as compared to be extroverts can be defined as people who are more reflective\, prefer calm and quiet environments\, and get their energy from spending time alone. They may also be shy or reserved. This is at odds with our business environment which focuses on action\, speed\, networking\, and self-promotion. Being an introvert and a consultant can be difficult. But introverts have much to offer. \nThis Knowledge Share session will discuss a few typical ‘troubling’ type situations for introverts and suggest tips for working through those\, both from the point of view of an introverted person and from someone who is collaborating with introverts. We will finish off the session with a brief look at how tailored coaching can help introverts flourish at work. \nCarol Raithatha  \n \nCarol is the Director of Carol Raithatha Limited\, a consultancy specialising in food and drink research\, sensory evaluation\, qualitative and desk research\, and B2B approaches. In addition\, Carol Raithatha Limited offers coaching to research and related professionals. Carol is a strategic thinker with a pragmatic mindset. Carol holds an ILM Certificate in Effective Coaching and Mentoring\, an MBA\, and is a Certified Member of the MRS and a member of the ICG and AQR. \nCarol Raithatha Limited \nwww.carolraithatha.co.uk \nREGISTER FOR THIS SESSION HERE

SUMMARY:Knowledge Share: Demystifying UX Research
DESCRIPTION:This Knowledge Share is generously sponsored by Opinion Hub \, Research Rooms\, Sensory Lab\, Data Collection and Fieldwork\, based in London with Nationwide coverage \n \nAs a seasoned UX Researcher\, Deborah Simmons is often asked about the overlap between UXR and MR. Are they really all that different\, or just the same competency within a different skin? During this session\, Deborah will offer insight into what differentiates UX Research from traditional MR\, and how to adapt your skills to fit within the UX landscape. It will be a discursive session with plenty of time for questions.   \nSo\, if you’re considering transitioning into UXR – or you just want to find out a bit more about it\, then this taster session is for you.  \nDeborah Simmons \n \nIn 2013\, following a number of years building her skills and experience in small method-neutral insight consultancies\, Deborah set up Camino Insight. Her first freelance role was also her first foray into UX Research. Without any UX training the learning curve was steep and Deborah found herself navigating through the jungle of digital product development with little support to fall back on. As well as full-service projects\, she now takes on Lead User Researcher roles for global brands such as Anglo American and Nissan\, where she specialises in helping businesses along their journey toward digital transformation.  \n \nREGISTER FOR THIS FREE KNOWLEDGE SHARE HERE
