About The Talk

The influential product designer

You're a great designer – now it's time to become influential.

Get a crash course in the skills needed to have strategic influence and build strong partnerships within your cross-functional teams. Chances are you have great ideas, but you're not sure how to present them to your team. You're overlooked, brushed aside, dismissed, or even talked over by PM's. You want to level up, but are aware that you need to gain confidence in your ideas in order to do so.

Taste what it's like to make sense of ambiguous product challenges, make design decisions based on rationale, and ultimately have influence and impact.
