Biiiig retrospective meeting today; productive for the team and definitely enlightening for me. The biggest takeaway for me was “building empathy for other desks”. What do other people in this company want? Why are they doing the job they’re doing? How do they understand their job? And how do they see the Visuals Team and if they want something from us, what do they hope to get? Asking stuff like that might be valuable.
Also, I build my very first graph in the Graphics Rig; with Alyson, who explained me how to build column charts. And then I build a table. It took me some while to find out Jinja can read out of the Google Speadsheet which I fed with the data, but hey, it worked in the end.

I should go more to the cinema.
Attitude matters. You need to believe stuff to make it happen. And the other way round: Don’t believe that everything goes downhill without communicating your concerns OR changing your beliefs. Your unconscious acting upon your belief will MAKE everything go downhill.
Questions?
What is “storytelling”? What is good storytelling? Is good storytelling defined by the effect on the audience? Is “storytelling” another word for “captivating user experience with more than one step”?
