Use your empathy for good

- We've covered a lot of ground in this course. From defining empathy and relating it to UX, to building your empathy, to thinking about empathy in user research, to deliverables that let stakeholders experience empathy as well. Now you may be wondering, where should you go from here? I'd encourage you to start making an effort to move empathy from something unconscious to something that you start paying particular attention to, both with family and friends and at work, recognize the value of emotion and storytelling and design with empathy. Do research that's able to funnel empathy to others. And remember, that as a UX professional you're likely already starting from a place with some empathy, and you can absolutely hone your empathy skills over time to do great UX work. So go forward and use your superpowers to help others create meaningful products that help people feel good.
