The skill that will still matter 10 years from now.
The soft skill that makes you unforgettable in UX (Every UXer should hear this conversation)
đșđž Memorial Day reminds us of what matters most: people. Connection. Stories that last.
In UX, we sometimes get caught up in tools, processes, and checklists. But the truth is⊠none of that means much if no one hears you.
Whatâs the one UX skill that never goes out of style?
Letâs be honest.
Most of us have spent hours tweaking a prototype, learning a new tool, or optimizing our AI prompts hoping itâll give us an edge.
But what if the real edge⊠is your ability to connect?
To take everything youâve learned research, insights, empathyâand speak it in a way that actually lands?
This week, we watched something that hit home.
And we think youâll feel it too.
đ„ This video hit us right in the gut (in the best way).
In Part 1 of the new BlatzChatz series, Jennifer Blatz sits down with Yao Adantor to talk about a skill that doesnât get enough credit: communication.
âItâs not about the shiniest tool. Itâs about how well you can listen, speak, and connect.â
đ§ In just 45 minutes, this video reminds us:
That miscommunication can tank great research
That AI still canât tell your story for you
That you donât need to be the loudest voice⊠you just need to be clear
That real UX power is being understood
Itâs raw, honest, and so relatable especially if youâve ever walked out of a meeting feeling like, âWhy didnât they get it?â
