14. The Remote Conference Keynote Speakers @ UCD Gathering 2022 (Part 1) - Jen Thomson (Programme Chair) and Tim Yeo

Welcome to the first of this three-part episode of Understanding Users, where I'm talking to the keynote speakers at the third and fully-remote 2022 User-Centred Design (UCD) Gathering conference.

I talk first with Jen Thomson, who is the Programme Committee Chair for UCD Gathering 2022. 

She introduces the conference and the four inspiring keynote speakers who I'm speaking to over the next few episodes of Understanding Users. She also discusses what attendees can expect from the conference in the way of engaging tutorials, live sessions, interactive group sessions, speaker Q&A - plus an all-important hallway track where people can meet and share experiences with fellow practitioners.

Then I talk with the first keynote speaker, Tim Yeo, who is Design Director @ IBM and who coaches introverts to have impact and influence without pretending to be extroverts at The Quiet Achiever. 

Tim tell me about his career to date, the way he works, and shares more details about his keynote address at UCD Gathering 2022, entitled: "Design leadership for introverts".

Finally, Tim plays my 3 card challenge to share his favourite UX tool, favourite technique and a trend he hopes to see more of in the future. 

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy the episode.
