24 Minutes of UX
24 Minutes of UX is a podcast of the people, by the people, for the people. The format is a combination of an after-work discussion, a 1-on-1 chat, a global community platform, and a coaching session. Episodes typically feature a Seeker and a Giver. The Seeker is a person seeking advice on a specific topic within the domain of UX. The Giver is here for sharing experiences about “what I wish I had known when I started with this topic”. Both the Seeker and the Giver can be senior or junior - we all learn all the time. Topics can be Measurement, Personas, DesignOps, Stakeholder Management, Design Leadership, Agile, Hiring, Forms, Research, Tools. You name it. The podcast is a global, grassroots, community-driven initiative and we welcome your participation. You can sign up at 24minutesofux.com to be a Seeker or a Giver - we will do our best to match you with someone interested in your topic. 24 Minutes of UX is the brainchild of Jesse Anton and Peter Horvath, creators of the 24 Hours of UX event series. Jesse and Peter are your hosts as we strive to create tighter links between people in the UX diaspora, enabling us all to become better UXers in the process. There are plenty of people in the trenches of UX with something to say, and this podcast is an open forum where diverse and fresh voices can be heard. Thanks for subscribing, and we look forward to welcoming you on the air one day. Until then, Keep Calm and UX On!

Design Leadership with Shaza Hakim and Lai Ngo
Today’s discussion is about leading and growing designers. It’s a great topic because it touches on the mix of management craft and soft skills that design leaders can call upon to motivate and challenge people on their teams.
Lai Ngo is our Seeker this time around. Based in Switzerland, Lai is the Team Lead for UX and Graphic Design at the travel platform Hapimag. She has a diverse career background spanning more than just UX, and she’s a relentless learner. Having recently moved into a design management role, Lai wants to make sure she is providing the best possible guidance to both junior and senior designers on her team. And she has turned to our podcast for some tips.
Today's Giver of advice is Shaza Hakim. Shaza is based in Malaysia, and she is the founder and UX principal of Stampede Design, a digital creative agency, which she has been running for over 15 years. She is already active in the community, both as a key figure in the UX Malaysia event and in the local IxDF group.
