Emerging Design Leader workshops
Melbourne 8-9 June 2023
Perth 29-30 June 2023
Supporting Emerging Design Leaders to build THEIR Leadership with Practice, People and Business lenses
Why Emerging Design Leaders?
Martina and Mags have been working with emerging leaders in design for the last 2.5 years as a coach, and as managers and mentors for over 20 years.
Commons questions we heard are:
“How do I give feedback that’s not a sh*t sandwich?”
“How do I manage someone older than me?”
“How can I influence a client when I am at the lowest rung?”
“Why can’t I get a seat at the table?”
“This job was not the one I was promised”
OK, this last one is not just emerging leaders...it’s one we’ve asked ourselves a number of times in new roles.
In response to these questions and conversations, we are running two-day in-person workshops for Emerging Design Leaders.
The next workshop will be held in Brisbane on 27 and 28 February 2023.
Who’s it for?
Emerging Design Leaders usually hold the titles of Lead Designers, Team leaders or UX Managers. They are doing a combination of leading the design activities in projects, managing people, working with stakeholders or clients to shape projects, and developing the maturity of their practice. It’s a lot especially when you are new to the role, having previously only focused on the work.
This workshop provides a framework for emerging leaders to be effective in their workplaces, by defining what their individual leadership looks like and creating a plan to move forward.
It is for people of all genders, not explicitly aimed at women.
