Founding Cohort

This isn’t a course about leadership theory. You leave with actions you can take the next day.  You'll know yourself and executives better.

I have a creative title, I move business

Executive Design Leader, Creative coach & Venture mentor

The current stateYou are good at your craft. You have earned your seat. But somewhere between the design review and the executive briefing, your work loses altitude.Senior creatives who work with executives run into the same invisible walls:<ul><li>You present process. They want outcomes.</li><li>You use the language of design. They use the language of investment, risk, and organizational levers.</li><li>You’ve built good work. But you haven’t built a relationship roster, so when a decision gets made, you weren’t in the room where it happened.</li><li>Your identity and your reputation with senior leaders are not the same thing.</li></ul>This isn’t a skills gap. It’s a paradigm gap. Executives think in a different operating system. This course teaches you to speak it fluently.By the end of six sessions, you’ll be able to:<ul><li>Reframe your mental model</li><li>Close the gap between your identity and your reputation</li><li>Build a deliberate relationship roster</li><li>Communicate in their language</li><li>Show up with executive-level presence</li></ul>

Your design is excellent. Your influence on leadership isn't. Yet.
