About the workshop:
Whether you're stepping into your first leadership role or expanding your impact in a company-wide position, this workshop will help you reframe your creative strengths—like storytelling, visualization, systems thinking, and facilitation—as essential leadership tools.
Through a mix of interactive exercises, group reflection, and practical frameworks, you’ll:
· Identify the design superpowers that already make you a natural leader
· Learn how to apply those superpowers to real-world leadership challenges
· Explore the mindset shift required to move from execution to influence
· Walk away with actionable insights, tools, and approaches to grow your presence as a leader
This is not a passive session. Expect to connect with peers, get a little outside your comfort zone, and leave with renewed confidence in the creative strengths that set you apart.
Doug brings decades of experience leading scaled design organizations at IBM, Expedia, and has coached and taught hundreds of emerging leaders globally. This workshop is a teaser for his new leadership course with iF Design Academy, Expanding Organizational Influence.
