(27/30) #TransDayOfVisibility Here’s some things you can do in support (multiple bits of thievery from Sarah Drummond...) "Put your pronouns into your twitter, email, slack, zoom etc It’s helpful - and visible even if you are cis." Done & done

(29/30) "Now more than ever we need to think of data not as single use, & not as an end goal, but as part of the wider social good ecosystem." 👏👏 I've worked on a few projects where this has been a key point we've spent (too much) time trying to get buyin from stakeholders on

After 23 interviews with fellow alumni, I believe that without significant reform, IDEO is an unsafe workplace for women, PoC (People of Color) and WoC (Women of Color). #survivingideo medium.com/surviving-ideo…

A couple of years ago I created the #GovernmentAsASystem 'styles of action' for policy-makers. Today, albeit a bit late, I am sharing my draft 'styles of action' for #socent #charities & #notforprofits that I developed late last year - hoping it is useful for system change-makers

I’m increasingly working with people new(ish) to government, who aren’t entirely familiar with the Government Service Standard. So I wrote a short history to share the story so far. Useful?! Have I missed any important developments? linkedin.com/pulse/setting-…

Pre-ordered and I am looking forward to reading this so much! When I excitedly told my flatmate that I'd bought this book she replied "...this is everything you love in one book!"

Women are often told to avoid using “weak language.” But 29 studies: talking tentatively doesn't reflect a lack of assertiveness. It's a sign of interpersonal sensitivity. I might be wrong, but it's probably time to stop confusing confidence with concern for others—isn’t it?

Over the years the most common designer complaint has always been "No one listens" and "UX isn't a priority/understood", so I want to throw something controversial out there: Some of this is our doing. A quick(ish) thread on why and how to fix it 🧵 #uxdesign #design #ux

After 11+ years in the design industry I've written a blog post about a common challenge that I and many of my colleagues have experienced: imposter syndrome. tinyurl.com/3decx57v
