Design leadership can take many forms. This creative leadership course explores the key areas of design management and leadership that are required for success. By understanding your potential, you can map out your current skills and make a practical, actionable plan for growth.

Being an excellent creative isn’t enough to guarantee impact. To be successful, you must shift your mindset from reactive problem-solving to proactive relationship-building. It begins with knowing yourself and clarifying your needs in a relationship. This session will teach you how to build effective alliances up, down, and across the organization.

Giving feedback isn’t always easy or comfortable, especially when you’re not sure how to do it. This creative leadership workshop helps you first understand different types of feedback and then develop (and practice) the tools needed for delivering effective feedback to your team members, peers, and managers.

Great design leaders don’t wield influence like a hammer—they motivate people by eliciting desire and conviction to reach their shared goals. In this session, you’ll explore common currencies in organizations and learn how to communicate the value of design through the lens of business.
