About the guest:
Debbie Levitt, MBA is the CXO of Delta CX, and has been a CX and UX strategist, researcher, designer, and trainer since the 1990s. She’s a change agent focused on helping companies of all sizes transform towards customer-centricity while using Agile and Lean principles.
Clients have given her the nickname, “Mary Poppins,” because she flies in, improves everything she can, sings a few songs, and flies away to her next adventure. Her “Delta CX” book and “Transforming Toward Customer-Centricity” training teach companies how to improve customer satisfaction, predict and mitigate business risk, and increase ROI by investing in great customer experiences.
She has other training programs that teach non-CX roles about CX, why specialists do it, and how to integrate it into teams and processes. Outside of CX work, and sometimes during CX work, Debbie enjoys singing symphonic prog goth metal, opera, and New Wave.
You can also catch her on the Delta CX YouTube channel. youtube.com/c/DeltaCX

This is the first episode that is going to be in two formats, video and audio. On Youtube, you can find it here.
This season is going to have a mix of so many interesting topics, but one that I really enjoy is people's unique journies into UX/Product design, this allows us to see how diverse is the field.
In this episode, you are going to have the chance to meet Blanca Diaz. She is a Product Designer at Color. She likes to introduce herself first as a person that cares about empowering other people and advocating for people. She is the proud daughter of immigrant parents and a first-generation graduate of high school and college. And then I also happen to be a product designer in the health tech space at color, working on genetic testing.
