What you will learn:
This Podcast takes you beyond the fundamental knowledge of what XGD is, to the dynamics of working in a design team. It is through the sharing of Pia’s own personal war stories that we will explore building a team, work critiques, and what someone with 12 years of experience can still learn. From someone who is self-taught, to someone who is mentoring, what can we do to make the next generation better than us?

Topics:
We will learn the process of gradual or unconscious assimilation of ideas, knowledge and how they all play a role in the growth of one’s design career. 

Questions Answered:
• How do you manage crises while keeping a calm approach?
• Where do you find the balance as the Manager to doing the work yourself vs. those actually doing the work?
• How do you keep designers engaged during difficult projects when their attention might want to be elsewhere?
• What determines a projects overall success?
