Foundational training as a moderator makes a strong imprint, and those key principles stay with us. Over time, the core of the foundations remain, but what comes next to continue to evolve our technique? No matter what area of qual research you practice, industry changes and the introduction of new technologies require us to keep our skills aligned with what the demands of the industry are and how we continue to deliver differentiated approaches and deliverables in our work. With subtle changes in perspective and an openness to continue to reflect on our approaches to questions, we can feel refreshed and energized about new ways to do our work.
