Rik's feedback was very valuable to me because it struck the perfect balance between pointing out my mistakes and guiding me toward discovering the solutions myself. This approach helped me truly understand and learn from my mistakes. He also knew exactly when to highlight the positive aspects, making the process both constructive and encouraging. Rik is a natural leader.
Rik was a wonderful mentor who left very thoughtful and useful feedback. He went out of his way to organise extra group sessions, and was always up for a chat about OOUX beyond the confines of the course.
Not only was Rik generous with his time during our catchups, he took the time in trying to understand my thinking/rationale in my assignments and his feedback also encouraged me to think further & deeper beyond what's required.
Rik was an awesome mentor! He was always clear, easy to reach, and our one-on-one meetings were super helpful. He broke things down in a way that made everything click, even the tricky stuff. I really felt supported, and I’m so grateful for everything I learned with his guidance!
Sophia’s OOUX Summer School and Certification were stellar! Easily one of the best training investments you could make; especially if you want to make sense of a mess or synthesise research insights into a scalable and user-centred structure.
In this panel discussion, Sophia Prater, the creator of the ORCA process and the OOUX Masterclass and Certification Program, will moderate a discussion between four content strategists who leverage OOUX in their work.
