Design Leadership is a different job, so why do you have to figure it out all on your own?

If you’ve recently made the transition from IC to leader, or planning on making it soon, you probably know they are different jobs.


You are expected to both be responsible for your team, as well as drive change with those above you.

We offer you a boutique two-day training event especially crafted for designers.

You’ll take classes to level up on leadership skills alongside inspiring mentors and connect with other 70+ designers in the same stage of your career, to help set you up for success.

Two days crafted to get the most value as an early design leader

Leadership Ateliers offers you a customizable experience where you’ll level up on those topics that matter to you while enjoying a great atmosphere and people.

Participate in 4-6 hands-on workshops to focus on what you need to get better

Do you want to focus on how to manage? Or maybe is it improving your communication skills? Or is it coaching your team?

You can decide which courses to take, and focus your learning to make sure the topics are relevant for your journey.

Expand your network, meeting 70+ fellow early design leaders

Beyond the courses, your biggest gain after the Leadership Ateliers will be the network of fellow participants.

These will be the people to continue by your side and who will continue helping through your leadership journey.

Learn directly from the best leaders with creative background

Instead of just learning from any leadership coach, we bring those ones with background in design and creative industries.

This way, they are able to understand you and advise you in ways you didn’t think was possible.

Before Ateliers

After Ateliers

Knowledge

You are trying to forge your own path and learn how to be a better leader with your own resources and research. If you’re lucky you have some mentorship, but most don’t.

You’ve gained insights from experts and fellow early leaders and now have frameworks and methdologies to both succeed as a leader, and prepare for the future

Network

You’ve gone from working with your former team to having to lead them, and this role feels different and much lonelier.

You’ve met over 70 peers in your same position and have now a strong support network to ask questions, get advise and work more confidently.

Influence

You are trying to cope with how to handle expectations of both your team expecting you to drive change, while your own managers expect results that might not be too clear.

You’ve made the first steps in becoming a better communicator and mentor, both for your team as well as expressing the value of what your team does to those above you.

Support

On unexpected turns or new challenges in your career, you need to start from scratch trying to find a mentor or coach to help you navigate them, costing you time and money.

You have now at your disposal, the contacts of excellent mentors, career coaches, leadership coaches, with your same background and who can understand your challenges like nobody else.
