Different skills than what made you a successful designer are needed to unlock influence and authority across a business. Through my experience as a leader, I’ve mapped out the common pitfalls and gaps, and I want you to have these skills too. You are not alone!
You’re excelling in your current role and craft, but you know you desire more impact.
You are ready to step up to broader influence in your business.
You are tired of questioning your worth, or even feeling gaslight by your superiors.
Different skills than what made you a successful designer are needed as you aspire to influence as a Director or above. Alison has helped hundreds of Managers grow into brilliant Design Leaders.
Designers lead differently, through deep empathy muscles and care for their teams. This style of leadership is emerging, and unlike the managers we had earlier in our careers. This can make it hard to envision what your leadership CAN be, and create your own path.
I hear it frequently in my coaching practice from Managers in Product & Design:
A renewed sense of confidence and clarity on what leadership and management mean for you.
A broader network of fellow rising design leaders who empathize with and share your experiences.
Knowledge and skills to leap the four pitfalls of rising design leaders.
Expertise in leading at scale that goes way farther than a 101 or basic training.
A realistic map and plan for Designing Your Next, from MVP to reaching your long-term goals.
Countless tools from course workbooks for future reference and learning.
Following a 18+ year in Design, most of it leading fellow humans, I pulled together all that I had learned to share with you in this course.
My passion has always been in sparking the possibilities of growth in my teams and work – I’d be honored to have you join a cohort or learn at your pace with on-demand modules.
Let’s Design your Leadership together.
