Today my guest is Christopher Nguyen, Design Leader, Facilitator, and System Thinker. Chris created the UX Playbook, a set of online self-teaching courses on UX career growth, portfolio, management, and user experience. Check this out, the link is in the description.

In this episode, we’re talking about UX workshops. When they are most useful, how to deal with tough participants (Chris calls them “troublemakers”), and what are the key ingredients of an effective workshop?
