Women in UX: Lead by Playing to Your Strengths
Tickets to the half-day workshop are on sale now via Humanitix.
After many conversations with women with established careers in UX, we’ve heard that they want to lead more at work. They want to progress in their careers and their organisations, develop their skills in persuading, networking, and being effective in leadership, apart from being UX practitioners.
Currently:
- They feel they don’t know enough
- There are opportunities at work, but they don’t know how to go for them
- If they feel if they just do good work, it will be recognised and they will be promoted; but it doesn’t
- They are not part of the club, and don’t know how to break in
This course is focused on how women can play to their strengths to leading teams and projects at work. It is not focused on project management skills or UX techniques, but how to identify and create the structures at work that make them effective.
At the end of the course each participant will:
- Learn to ask and negotiate for the leadership positions they want
- Be active in managing their career, using their authentic voice and a strong support system
This course includes:
- Setting the scene – why we need to be deliberate to increase our effectiveness
- Asking – not waiting; getting the opportunities you want at work
- Silencing your inner critic
- Managing up and across
To support this workshop, there will be Slack community to continue the conversations and one-to-one time with Mags after the workshop.
This workshop will run online on Tuesday, August 25th from 1:00 - 5:30 pm.
