Are you looking to grow in design leadership?

If you’ve read my Designy Mission, you know I took the long path to growing in practical and effective design leadership (read as 30 years long).

So, I’m opening up my “Designed to Lead” professional development sessions to Product Designers who have the courage to take that first step. This could be you or a Product Designer you see who has the sparks of leadership.

It comes down to the practical essentials: becoming more effective with design ideas, presenting designs confidently to stakeholders, and demonstrating the power of design thinking day to day and in every challenge.

Are you totally committed to geeking-out over design details and pushing themselves to the next level? I’d be honored to work with you. It’s one thing to hear sound advice, but it’s another thing to apply and adapt it yourself.

Here's what we'll do during the intro call:

1. Unlock the areas of Product Design you want to strengthen and what design leadership looks like for you.
2. Uncover hidden challenges that could be undermining having a confident design voice.
3. Understand next steps so you can get started designing on purpose and not by accident.

There’s no fee for this first session because we need to see if I can meet your needs. All you have to do is be willing to focus during the session so I can help tailor your next steps.

These sessions will be particularly useful to Product Designers who are in companies where design is underutilized and who are looking to make an impact on their product or company but don’t know where to begin.

This one step is the easiest one.

You’ll walk away with new possibilities to consider and a plan how we might work together if I can help.

Regardless, talking about design is always a blast. Looking forward to it!

Thanks!
