Wall of love for The Influential Researcher
Philipp Wartenberg
I participated your course in past December and just wanted to give you a brief feedback on how it changed our company for the better.
Background: We’re a small owner-operated business with a quite complex business domain and a diverse set of business rules within our domain. (Conference Management Software, with a focus on scientific conferences) We had a few research practitioners sprinkled across the org, but market-research, customer-research and user-research were siloed in different departments of the company and all of them did not have specialised research functions. Actionable research insights were a side product at best.
Intervention: So here is what I did after taking your course: At first I tried to convince executives of using Topline reports. I got ignored for weeks. Then I simply pitched the intervention to the whole company (40 employees currently) at an all-hands meeting. I just had 10 Minutes to explain the format Topline Report and the pyramid principle. But after taking your course I had both the confidence and knowledge do to it well.
Outcome:
Researchers realized how it can help summarize their findings and executives acknowledged the impact of it on their decision making in terms of customer centricity and efficiency. We’re now implementing a company wide task force to breaking the knowledge and data silos led by a central business function (Business Intelligence) that we‘re now hiring for.

I work on the UX team at Aflac.
This course included a ton of valuable insight that was presented in an easy-to-grasp format. We learned how to effectively research, organize and communicate information. Ari included many helpful analogies and examples, and shared many acronyms that make the instructions easy to follow. It's fascinating how he was able to draw upon his past experience as a detective to explain these concepts.

Ari’s UX research course is great! Seriously, one of the best teachers I’ve had so far. He shares great examples to explain things, and can tell when we need extra help or resources. He promptly adjusts his teaching on the fly to make sure everyone gets it. It was also cool that Ari shared some of his own previous flaws. It made the whole process feel less intimidating and that we can all improve with time and experience. This course is different from other ones I’ve taken, and in a good way. I’m hoping to become more confident about my research and presentation skills by the end! Definitely recommend this course if you’re looking to learn UX research in a way that’s actually interesting (and makes you feel human!).

Excellent course, I got a lot from it! What Ari teaches is immediately applicable and SO relevant. I’d recommend it to any researcher. This is one of the rare courses that will truly make you a stronger researcher, and help you move forward.

Really enjoyed the course! Ari is super attentive to people's questions and willing to answer outstanding questions outside of class. There's a lot to cover so it'll pack a punch but it is well worth it :) Can't wait to see where he takes the content as he's always evolving the course material. Highly recommend to any researcher at any level in their career. Thanks Ari!

Ari’s take on research is immediately applicable to the real world from day one. I started implementing top-line reports in my day job while taking the classes and it's done wonders on focusing our conversations around my product work on the reasoning of my POV instead of values and methods that I chose to get insights. And it doesn't take a long time to write one! The principles and philosophy he teaches have given me more confidence and have unblocked me in the game of influence. I’d recommend this to any researcher, designer, or pm who just wants to be more influential in general. The principles go beyond just researchers.

Ari does a tremendous job at articulating how research can bring value to a business when done the right way. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to refine their approach towards presentations, reporting, and how to showcase more value to your business.

This course is exactly what I was looking for - provides you with an actionable blueprint for shifting gears from being a research provider to a consultant to a business.

Ari is diligent and hard-working, much like a honey bee. Just as worker bees gather nectar, Ari collects pure research content for this course, making it a rich beehive of knowledge. This TEN STAR rated course is a hub for innovators, especially with Ari's unique perspective as a Police Officer and Detective shedding light on research from a fresh angle. Ari's approach of teaching research from First Principles is insightful. Thanks to Ari for his invaluable wisdom! 😁

I'm Josi, a UX Researcher from the UK. I'm currently working on a digital transformation project for a car leasing company.
The format of the course felt really succinct, and it made sense for the content to be broken down into those the three sessions. The advice itself is practical and the learnings can be applied straight away. Absolutely love all of the templates that are so openly shared after each class, so thank you again for those.
My only note on the course format is that at times it felt a bit pacey. All of the content is so useful that you don't want to miss a single thing, so it felt challenging to keep up at times. I really enjoyed the activity of 'is this a good or bad POV, and why' - it helped me to digest the learning. Maybe a couple more moments like that would help with reflection?
That said, I cannot express enough how much The Influential Researcher has helped me. I've attended the cohort twice now and feel much stronger as a researcher because of it. Framing our narrative around clear POVs has been such a game changer. The best thing about attending the course is that I can articulate research with so much more confidence now. I can advocate for customers in a meaningful way, and the business is finally 'getting it'. Thanks Ari!

Even though this is a course on research, I think this is a great course for anyone in UX. There were so many new takeaways for me even when I took it up the second time. Yes, you read that right, I took the course a second time!

The best thing about the Influential Researcher is that it gave me more confidence. The course empowered me to see myself as a trusted research advisor, rather than as a research service provider. I only wish I had taken this class sooner in my career!

I'm a junior researcher based in Nigeria and currently working on improving my evidence-collection skills and developing a business mindset when it comes to research. This is the best research course I've taken this year (2023). Ari introduced a new perspective and I loved it. This is what has been missing from my research education, how to bridge the gap between business needs and research. The cohort was also engaging and eye-opening and it has boosted my confidence in doing research and providing evidence-based council. Looking forward to the next cohort!

I'm a UX researcher team of one, on a new ux team my company created. This course came up just in time. Ari offered so many frameworks and priceless advice on how to see this problem. I started using the POSTER framework to share insights and I noticed teammates started to think and talk about UX research differently.

I cannot say enough great things about this course. It was everything I wanted and needed to excelling as a UX Researcher today and in the future. Right out the gate, Ari delivers on what he promises. It is so simple but yet so powerful. I was already doing some of the ways. But now with POV and POSTER, I am the voice of research! I can promise my company now and every company in the future, that my research will deliver. It really is that clear and cut. Take the course! Thank you Ari for making this course and empowering researchers!

Are you delivering pages and pages of research insights and findings with little to no impact? Do you want to learn how to transform your role from being an order taker to an invaluable strategic partner to the business? If your answers to both of those questions are yes, then this cohort is for you.
I'm an OG UXer with more than 20 years experience working in both agencies and client-side, in a variety of business verticals. I've spent most of my career as a UX generalist, but about 5 years ago decided to pivot into UXR full time.
In all the research-related webinars, seminars and classes I've taken through the years, I have never learned anything that resembles what you get here.
Honestly, it's been a total game changer, and I'm already seeing the impact of putting what I learned into practice. No joke.
And even after you're done with the cohort, you can revisit the sessions or sit in another cohort for free if you want, as well as get valuable input in the community as you put what you learned to the test.
100% recommend, all the way!

I have used frameworks in this course for startups and it was convincing and successful.

Hi there!
I am a mid-senior level UX researcher working for a fast-growing circular marketplace. I mainly work on the B2B side and collaborate with four PMs and their teams. I signed up for this course to sharpen my UXR skills and learn how to better communicate my insights to decision-makers.
The course content, including materials such as Notion pages and templates, as well as the clear instructions, guidance, and interactive Q&A sessions with Ari as a mentor, contributed significantly to achieving my goal. The online interactive format, along with being part of a smaller group, worked well and was exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you so much, Ari!

I am building a research practice in a SaaS company, and I struggled to conduct large sample studies because of some technical and practical constraints. Ari helped me to change my perspective about the goal of research in a corporate setting and think about data collection differently. I've started using Point of View documents frequently, building evidence-backed cases to offer guidance about directing resources and prioritizing projects. These POV docs are very effective! They are much easier for execs to read and understand than traditional research reports. We are able to more directly explain why the research matters and what should be done about it. We are growing our value to the business quickly as a result!

As the sole researcher on my UX & Design team, I work on everything from usability tests to discovery projects to research templates & guidelines for PMs and other stakeholders. I had high hopes coming into the course, and I have to say that I got more than I expected out of Nick and Ari. Their no-bullshit, to-the-point approach with plenty of first-hand examples was really inspiring and has helped me make my voice and opinions heard throughout my team and company. The course title says it all - if you want to up your research game AND become someone whose POV matters, this is the one for you. Thanks, Nick and Ari!

'The Influential Researcher' made me realize even more that people's perception of research can vary from your own, and that this variation can directly affect how they perceive you as a researcher. It can transform your thinking about your role. Knowing how to handle resistance to change, ego, and conflicts will change you from an insight messenger to an information seeker. By encouraging debates and discussions, your role will shift from an investigator (caring about the results) to an influencer (caring about the impact).

I am a Senior UX Researcher working in the B2B space. I can't recommend this course enough - the information shared by Nick and Ari is priceless for UXRs, especially at the junior, mid and senior level. I wish I could have taken this course when I was starting out. It's given me some real "that's right!" and "can't wait to try this!" moments, provided guidance on some questions I've been wondering about for years, and given me actionable direction for the future. The community is also super supportive, and it's just real nice to chat and interact with people Who Get It. I promise I'm not shilling, it's just really good stuff :)

I'm a UX Designer involved in various projects where I do the design but often I'm involved into the research phase as well be it exploratory or evaluative in nature.
This course helped me in a laying a better foundation when it comes to thinking like a researcher as well as shaping my findings into a more compelling and actionable story. The learnings from this course gave me the confidence to make bigger leaps into the realm of UX Research.
The best thing about this course is connecting the dots between two incredibly important aspects of research: the scientific rigour of conducting the research and gathering the insights and the knowledge of putting that into an actionable and memorable story that moves things forward.

I am building a research practice at a Fintech SaaS company from the ground up. I wanted to take this course to gain some practical advice around showing value to the business quickly to be able to grow our research infrastructure. My expectations were exceeded! The very practical advice we were given about frameworks for presenting results and maintaining scientific rigor in a fast-paced business environment are yielding dividends already. The best part of the course for me was Nick and Ari's engagement. Very responsive to questions outside of class time and genuinely want to help us apply what we've learned. Highly recommend to fellow seasoned professions and newbies alike.

I am a senior user researcher In a niche company, the course helped me frame my point of view better when engaging with stakeholders. I especially appreciate the POSTER framework and I used it last week, this received positive feedback. The best thing about the course is it is beyond "how to be a good researcher "or choose this methods etc, it is a factual and objective course that discusses real life issues we face everyday, and how to value ourselves so that others can value us, no more begging for a seat at the table when we can pull a chair and join in. Whenever I speak up in meetings now, i talk authoritatively. The ux research discipline is the most disrespected in the industry, there needs to be a change, and this course does just that! Thank you both!

I especially appreciate the POSTER framework and I used it last week, this received positive feedback. The best thing about the course is it is beyond "how to be a good researcher "or choose this methods etc, it is a factual and objective course that discusses real life issues we face everyday, and how to value ourselves so that others can value us, no more begging for a seat at the table when we can pull a chair and join in. Whenever I speak up in meetings now, i talk authoritatively. The ux research discipline is the most disrespected in the industry, there needs to be a change, and this course does just that! Thank you both!

There will be very few people in your life who you will remember because they lay the foundation in you, of how to think and approach work and subjects that you pursue for a long time to be good at. Right when i thought I was adept at UX Research, had a humbling experience that put me in place to realize that there is so much more to learn and apply in this field.
This was made possible by "The Influential Researcher" course by Dr Nick Fine and Dr. Ari Zelmanow 🇺🇦 . So many learnings and new perspectives to be effective and impactful researchers that can move the business needle and add value to your work.
A two week cohort that I would highly recommend anybody who wants to deep dive into UX Research and have a strong foundation in their careers to make a difference in the teams you work.
Reach out to them to join the next cohort that starts in June.

Over the past couple weeks, I had the privilege of participating in a game-changing course put on by Dr Nick Fine and Dr. Ari Zelmanow 🇺🇦 . Their expertise, combined with their passion for empowering researchers, created an unparalleled learning experience that left a lasting impact. It’s completely changed the way I think about myself, my practice, and the future for UX.
Moreover, Nick and Ari's emphasis on presenting with confidence has transformed the way I approach my final reports. They taught us powerful techniques to captivate audiences, structure compelling presentations, and address challenging questions with grace.
But here's the best part: their course is the gift that keeps on giving! Not only did I gain a wealth of knowledge and skills during the initial program, but I have the choice to join future classes time and time again, completely free of charge. We also were given access to some incredible resources and further coaching.
I highly recommend anyone in the user research field seeking to strengthen their influence and presentation skills, to check out this course. Trust me- it’s a steal. I would never recommend a course unless it was well worth it!
Oh, one last thing- a big shout out to Darren Hood, MSUXD, MSIM, UXC for joining and sharing his unfiltered thoughts on the industry. Always a pleasure.
