Advocating for Your Career: A Blueprint for rising UX Leaders

August 20 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Free – $25.00
Alison Gretz

Are you advocating for yourself in your current position, and in your career? How are you “managing up”? Is Management for you? How do you run your team with both authenticity and effectiveness? What makes a really great 1×1? In this talk, you’ll gain access to the best practices from one of our local veteran UX leaders – Alison Gretz, ACC.

Learn Alison’s blueprint for mid-year advocacy ahead of annual reviews, what goes on behind the scenes of promotions, and how to operate as a UX leader, who is also a good human. Alison will pull back the curtain on some successes and failures that rising leaders should know.

Walk away with actionable plays for rising in your career and beta access to the Good Manager OS created for Design Leaders.

Beverages and appetizers will be served.

Note: If you opt-out of our emails you will not get Zoom links for events.
