Beginners Guide to Design Thinking
Welcome to A Beginner's Guide to Design Thinking, the perfect podcast for curious souls eager to harness the power of design thinking to level up their business and personal life.
Join your hosts - Lucy Patterson and Tracy Sharp - two Northern lasses passionate about helping people like you disrupt the status quo. We’re here to boost your business performance while reigniting your zest for life. No "but we've always done it that way" excuses allowed!
We'll guide you through the process of figuring out what you want, experimenting with how to get it, and embracing failure as a stepping stone to success. You’ll learn how to apply those lessons, tweak your approach, and keep evolving - all while keeping it fun, and scientifically backed. It might get a little messy - but not crayon-on-your-sweater messy!
From our own experiences and expertise - failures included - we’ll make sure you never feel alone on this creative journey.
So let us hold your hand as you empower yourself with design thinking, getting closer to your goals without the frustration.
Once you’ve finished listening, we have two small requests:
- If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform. (If not, shoot us an email and let us know how we can improve.)
- Reach out! Send us an email or connect via LinkedIn to share what actions you’ve taken from any of our episodes. We bloody love action-takers! 🙂
Beginners Guide to Design Thinking
G is for Growth
In this episode we look at how Design Thinking can be used as a powerful tool for growth, both in your business and your life.
We're here to help you not just fail fast and fail forward, but to learn fast, and learn forward, because we grow from many perspectives: Physical, emotional, spiritual, social and mental.
Join us as we chat about the elements of coaching that can address these growth areas, and how/where/why they fit in the Design Thinking framework.
Observing and prototyping anyone?
So if you're looking to push your comfort zone, and wondering how to do this in a way that helps you identify the areas beyond your comfort zone that excite you and support your growth, then this episode is for you.
Plus, we share a unique reframe of Imposter Syndrome that may just see you seek out experiences that make you feel like an imposter!
