Leadership as a craft

In this session, I talk about how anyone can start practicing leadership, no matter what point you’re at in your career. Through the lens of a UX crafter, I talk about leadership qualities, goal setting, and how to balance growing leadership and technical skills together. I talk about how leadership skills can help you today, give you ideas for your next one-on-one with your boss or mentor, and offer a sneak peak at some of the new challenges that await those who move into management roles (spoiler - management is just one form of leadership!). It’s easy to confuse leadership with just a title and step in your career, but when we reframe it as a set of skills we can learn, it suddenly becomes a lot more accessible, relevant, and maybe even inspiring for those looking at developing themselves in new ways. As we learn about new tech, tools, and creative opportunities, let’s take some time to invest in how we communicate, grow, and can have new impact on our work.
