How to improve soft skills as a designer
Identify the skill you want to develop
It really depends on what soft skills you want to develop. These could be:
- Asking better questions?
- Becoming more persuasive?
- Being a more active listener?
Once you narrow down what you want to focus on, you can start taking steps to develop it.
Activities that help me improve my communication skills
Here's what worked for me:
- Presenting my designs to the team or clients every week
- Addressing the company publicly once a month
- Running impromptu workshops with my team
- Speaking up more in leadership meetings
- Hosting community workshops
- Jumping on creators podcasts
- Organising local meetups
Remember, improving soft skills is an ongoing process, and I’m still learning.
This framework is part of UX Growth Playbook which helps you take control of your career and make growth a priority.
