Act 01
Scene 26 – Featuring Ricardo Brito
Ricardo Brito, a product designer turned coach, sits down with Naresh Shan to reflect on the deeply personal side of career transitions and the transformative power of storytelling. From confronting fear and trauma to embracing reinvention, Ricardo opens up about the inner work required to shift paths with intention. Together, they explore how honesty, cultural awareness, and safe learning environments shape not only careers but also the way we design and communicate.
- Breaking down how limiting beliefs and societal pressure hold people back from making necessary career changes
- Exploring how storytelling enhances communication, fosters self-understanding, and reframes career narratives
- Examining how trauma influences team behavior and personal development, and why trust matters in coaching
Ricardo urges designers to build awareness of their own story—who they are, what they carry, and how that informs the way they work. He champions storytelling as more than a UX tool—it’s a means to navigate fear, challenge assumptions, and claim agency over one’s path. Growth begins not with certainty, but with courage.
His insights challenge designers to think beyond execution. To become translators of creativity into value. To articulate their decisions not just beautifully, but persuasively. To resist complacency and embrace growth, even in uncertain time.
