Susan Weinschenk, PhD - Harnessing Perfectionism and Changing Your Story

Susan Weinschenk shares a deeply personal account of why she’s a behavioural scientist, the role of ethics in design, and how deciding her self-story helped her while battling cancer.

Highlights include:

⭐ How critical is skepticism for making effective design decisions?
⭐ Why hasn’t ethics always been part of the big tech design conversation?
⭐ How do you help people to become comfortable with finding truth?
⭐ Do designers understand what’s ethical and what’s not?
⭐ What story are we telling ourselves that we should change?
