ux scotlandThis tutorial is all about rediscovering the lost art of listening. As user researchers and UX practitioners, it’s easy to get caught up focussing on our deliverables and processes, forgetting that our soft skills are the key to producing great insights about the humans we're learning about. Listening is arguably our most important - yet toughest - skill to master. We'll be looking at what bad listeners do, the effect of not listening, and the techniques you can use to lean in and give people your time and attention, so that you can become a great, active listener.
