Description

#011 - It’s no secret that change is the only constant but the events of the past two years (or two months!) have certainly got our heads spinning. If you’re anxious about how all of this is going to affect your life and career, you’re not alone. So how do you make sense of your past and clarify your direction towards the future?Sometimes, you need more than just intellect to make better decisions. You need intuition. This is where tarot can help. Tarot is basically a pack of playing cards that originated in 14-15th century Europe. Although you might have seen them used as a divination system to predict things, tarot utilises principles used in creative thinking and it can be a powerful design tool for designers to ask the right questions and find unexpected answers.In this episode, I chat with with Dr. Adeola Enigbokan. Adeola is a designer, environmental psychologist and a practitioner of tarot for the past 20 years. We uncover the mysteries of tarot, and how the practice might increase our soft skill sets and add perspective on problem-solving in complex psycho-social dynamics. Adeola also demonstrates how she uses tarot to answer deep questions. You might be a tarot convert too after this episode.In this episode:Using tarot as a tool to build your intuition to make better decisionsRaising awareness of the emotional impact of your designs and the emotional needs of your users and colleaguesDefining true empathy using tarotStarting with self-compassionCreating a space for people’s feelings to exist at workReassessing your individual and corporate identities and realigning themEnergy exchange as the future of work for designersShownotesSalvador Dalí tarot card deckhttps://www.tarot.com/tarot/decks/daliTen of Cupshttps://www.tarot.com/tarot/cards/ten-of-cups/daliSix of Swordshttps://www.tarot.com/tarot/cards/six-of-swords/daliAdeola’s websitehttps://www.whyadeolabecause.com/Adeola on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/adeolagoes/Adeola on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/adeola-enigbokan/Environmental psychologyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_psychologyTonglen meditationhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TonglenTarot for the Working Womenhttps://www.whyadeolabecause.com/twwRandom association techniquehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_stimulusShow creditsIllustrations by Isa Vicentehttps://www.instagram.com/isadezgz/Music by Brad Porterhttps://prtrFollow Design Feeling on social!
