What we design is limited by the conversation we did or did not have

In the world of design, leadership isn’t just about having the best ideas; it’s about getting people on board with those ideas. It’s about speaking a language that cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of what drives people. This talk isn’t just theory—it's packed with practical techniques and real-world examples to elevate your communication game to the next level.
