    I found your channel just days ago, and the short-term changes are astonishing. I suffer from avoidant attachment, and I was pretty much lost in my Data Analyst career. I would say that I watched most of your youtube videos, but mental models and framework thinking was a game changer. I heard you describe yourself as an ENTJ, I am myself an INTJ, and this is just what I needed after a long research in philosophy and psychology. I finally got back to my journey again after another long cycle of despair and confusion in my personal life. I feel stronger this time, but I hope the good mood doesn't go fast, at least until I can land my first job. Thank you and I wish you the best in your journey! Keep up the good work PD: Your coaching panel for chat GPT worked amazingly well and it provided a lot of value. Thanks!

    Thanks, Vicky. When checking for desirability, it's essential to simultaneously check for willingness to pay. While this falls into viability, the desirability test is a great place to collect this data. So many people expect a whole raft of things to be free.
  • I learn the best thing for today☄️. Thank you for this amazing video. 😇. Love your style of sharing frameworks with us✨. Always stay happy 💜.
  • I think that I literally want to do (on/with youtube) what you're doing..your channel content is so close and personal to my core idea of myself that I bask in your content.
  • @nadiabandouk5030
    I like the simplicity with which you explain the rules, I have already participated in projects and I can certify the results of design thinking although following the rules requires more from all participants, but it works.
  • . . . Wow, what an awesome improvement in volume ! . . . As a 'fan' of your content, I really enjoy it so much more now that I can comfortably HEAR it ! . . . Thanks 😊

    Hey I’m new to your channel, but just wanted to say that I saw your community comment about buying a new mic. Didn’t think much of it until I watched this video and then watched one from 3 weeks ago, and wow the difference is huge! You sound so much clearer now, makes an incredible difference - audio is so important eh! Anyway, really look forward to learning from your videos, sorry if this is a random comment but I was legit impressed with the sound quality difference. Ps your design and thumbnails are so good 🔥
  • @cesarflores6158
    Such a succinct way of putting things, keep up the great work!
  • @thomasrogers8136
    Great video, Vicky! I have to I think planning is still important, but it's overemphasized. We can avoid a lot of mistakes through planning, but we can't avoid them all- which is why action is more important. Nonetheless, great to see your takeaways!
  • @unwokle
    Your content is so practical I love it. Thanks.
  • @vaishnavim2451
    What a timing! I was legit looking into the topic of design thinking frameworks and here you roll out this video. Thanks Vicky!❤
  • yes; I loved the concept and design thinking and this is one of the only videos that describes it really well.
  • @rayjong4997
    High Quality! falling in love with your work
  • @magunciero
    Your channel, Vicky, is precious. You really absorbed the quintessence of the Silicon Valley innovation mindset.
  • @CharityCatherine
    Wow. 2? 3? days between videos! Truthfully you are the #1 YouTuber I watch! Thank you!
  • @110samsamsam
    Hey Vicky, such great, niche content. A request to make a video that covers the best route to take in a finance career after an MBA. And, whether there is a better alternative to MBA for a career in finance. Also maybe share your opinion on a better career choice than finance for a person with analytical and leadership capabilities.
  • @manuelx23
    Hmmm but isnt number one "dont plan, act", contradicts a bit the number 2 "order matters", I mean if you follow an order in a way you are following a plan isn it?
  • @jessiewang6503
    Hi Vicky, I loved the content you shared. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! One quick feedback, your handmovement was a little bit distraction

    I am also learning to do my design thinking project for school in The Netherlands and can definitely relate to your first insight. In the first year of doing this research, I was planning. I wanted to make sure I did enough desk research or used enough literature, before approaching someone for an interview. But last months I just skipped all this preparation and just called someone for an interview, and than I would be preparing something. My research was way more efficient because of this approach.
