Most content designers struggle to get a “seat at the table.” Teams often think of us as wordslingers, not as equal partners in strategy and vision. In this presentation, we’ll talk about how to earn your seat and make the most of it. You’ll learn how to find your voice on a team, influence your partners, and build effective collaboration from the ground up. And you’ll see how my team drove a 21-point increase in customer satisfaction by earning each other’s trust and working together.
