Course overview
So you have the burning desire to step up and crave driving a bigger impact as a designer. Perhaps there's a lack of guidance to show you where and how to add impact. You feel powerless and wonder what it takes to become an influential and strategic designer.
Designers with the most success in our industry are business-aware.
If you think narrowly and talk about "design and design only" without factoring in business growth and understanding how to share the value of design, your impact will stay shallow.
Tap into the strategies and success frameworks I've used to grow my own career, as well as mentoring and coaching 350+ designers and design teams.
This course will give you the skills, frameworks, scripts and adaptable knowledge necessary to influence design in your company and change the way you show up as a designer forever.
Commitment: 4 weeks. 3-4 hours/week.
P.S. Reimburse the cost of this course if your company offer L&D budget. Otherwise, educational courses are tax deductible.
