Overview

Join us for an AMA with Olga Ziegelman, Head of UX Research at Alteryx, as we get real about what it takes to lead in UX – before and after the title. We’ll unpack the mindset shifts, day-to-day practices, and human moments that shape authentic, high-impact leadership (yes, even if you’re an introvert).

We’ll explore how to earn influence without relying on hierarchy, navigate the middle-management squeeze, and build resilient teams across disciplines, all while creating space for others to thrive.

We’ll cover:
🧭 How to show leadership before you have the title (and keep earning your seat)
🌪️ Leading through constant change – building resilience when stability is a myth
🫶 Authentic leadership for introverts: confidence without the performance
🙋 Your questions, answered live!

Whether you’re an early-career researcher, an emerging manager, or a seasoned leader looking to refresh your approach, this AMA will leave you with candid insights, practical tactics you can use tomorrow, and a renewed sense of what meaningful leadership in UX can look like.
