Your book is great! I ordered and read it and there’s some pure gold in it! I work with clients who are feeling stuck in their UX career but many of them just need to change their job before they are ready to work with, so I recommend your book to them!

Along with research and product discovery, I leverage modern tools to translate vision and direction. These include Figma, ProtoPie, and code. However, my greatest assets are my problem-solving abilities and communication skills.
