THERE'S A PROBLEM

no one teaches you how to be a good manager

Different skills than what made you a successful designer are needed as you step up into management. Alison has helped hundreds of managers grow into brilliant design leaders.

gain strategic leadership muscles to succeed

define your leadership

Design-folk lead differently. You lead through deep empathy muscles and care for your teams. Define your unique leadership plan, envision what your leadership CAN be, and create your own path.

I found the prompts and discussions very helpful as it provided a lot of strategy for myself moving forward.”

Nurturing Top Talent

remove the “you’re not ready” feedback

I hear it frequently in my coaching practice from aspiring Managers in Product & Design:

Step into Confident Leadership

feeling stuck → a map forward

Have more impact by stepping up from craft leader to manager.

self-doubt → self-confidence

Lead without questioning your worth and abilities.

loneliness → belonging

Up-skill with peers experiencing the same growth, facilitated by Alison.

I feel much more confident in my decisions, know what some of the biggest areas of growth are that I can focus on, and I also have several deeper questions around my career that I will be taking the time to thoughtfully reflect on and answer this year.
