Due to the uncertainties in the reorg process, most of the deliverables are getting extended, and my team morale is getting low (including mine as a team leader). How do you motivate yourself and your team during the uncertain times?

Bring up how things aren’t going great, but do not dwell on it and do not let it overtake a negative stance. Acknowledge that things are uncertain, and here’s what we will do still. Focus on what can be controlled. Also we started a shout outs/ brag thread, to give somebody or ourselves a space to be positive.

That totally makes sense. Thanks for the input!

I have regular 1to1 meetings with my staff. When there are blockers, I get them to shift focus. For example, it’s been slow for some and I remind them that it’s the perfect time to do those courses they promised to sign up for in their goals for the year. It gets them to check something off on personal growth.

Thank you. I try to not sound like a parent telling the kids to do their homework 😀

Hello everyone! I am currently new to the UX world, but I found that I've really connected with it since doing some research on the role as a UX Researcher. I have my BS in Psychology and CLDP, and I've had experience with research while in college. However, I'm not sure if my current role would be helpful in transitioning into this career. If anyone could provide some advice as where I could start in order to gain more knowledge or if anyone has any helpful resources that would be great!

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?

I’m certified through meta’s platform too if that matters.
