OUR TAKE
Is it worth your time?
Worth it if
You manage designers or set design direction and want peers facing the same leadership problems.
Think twice if
- You're an individual contributor: it's explicitly built for people leading design teams
- You want hands-on craft sessions: the focus is leadership, not tools or technique
