This week I share a fascinating conversation I had with Tara Safaie right at the end of 2022. Tara is a director, managing the portfolio for IDEOs Health group. She works closely with clients who aim to use design to change their organisation in human centred ways. Tara is also a first generation Iranian-American who speaks openly about the impact the situation in Iran is having on her and how she authentically shows up.
What you’ll hear about:
- The overlapping venn diagram between the person in and out of work
- Recognising at times in life you need your close friends and family around to allow you to really show up authentically
- Be kind to yourself & don’t be afraid to sit with your fear
- The importance of company culture in allowing you to show up authentically
- The deliberate rise to centre stage of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in the workplace
- Don’t worry about getting everything perfect. Just get started.
- The power of human centred design
- Consideration into the impact of incentives
