In my <\/span>last post<\/b><\/a><\/span> I spotlighted two people who in their own distinct ways were influencers in shaping my sensibilities in moving towards a career and creative life in design. While these are only two examples of people who were pivotal in my journey in embracing the challenge to challenge others through a Reframe mindset, the reality is that there are so many people for each one of us that play a pivotal role.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, I\u2019m spotlighting the Motivators who work alongside me who have their own Motivator stories and journeys to tell. I\u2019ve asked the Motivators on my team to consider the parents, teachers, friends, colleagues, and mentors who have contributed to their reason why they are who they are today. <\/span><\/p>\n

As a hiring manager of a user experience research and design firm, my team and I have established a core set of expectations for any Motivate candidate in order to determine proper skill, personality, and culture fit. While it is a given that any candidate have solid UX\/UI and research skills demonstrating overall knowledge, mastery, and understanding of process, it is just as and almost more important that a candidate demonstrate the intangibles that unequivocally make that person a Motivator. <\/span><\/p>\n

In assessing these characteristics in interviews, we\u2019ve found that once we\u2019ve gotten past the basic \u201cmust asks\u201d of the interview process, allowing candidates to tell their own stories help us to unearth the true growth potential they might have with us. One of the questions we ask is around who or what has been a driver in their life helping them be here today. Invariably, the responses we\u2019ve gotten back are compelling tales of how through instruction or simple action, have inspired these candidates to find their own pathways to a creative life. <\/span><\/p>\n

With this in mind, along with introducing a new podcast I\u2019ll be hosting (more on that later), I\u2019ve taken the opportunity to sit down with some members of our team to ask the question: <\/span>\u201cWho were the Motivators that made you a Motivator today?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The following spotlights of both our Motivators and their own personal influencers are an interesting look into how even one person can truly make the difference in changing one\u2019s perspective from <\/span>\u201cI can\u2019t\u201d<\/span><\/i> to <\/span>\u201cI can\u201d<\/span><\/i>: <\/span><\/p>\n
