About this session
Great leadership is not just about managing people. It is about building trust, making better decisions, communicating clearly, and helping others do their best work. This MentorCruise session is designed to support professionals who want to grow into stronger leaders, whether you are stepping into leadership for the first time or looking to become more effective in an existing role.
You’ll work with an experienced mentor to navigate real leadership challenges and develop a clearer sense of your style, strengths, and growth areas. Together, you can work through topics like communication, delegation, feedback, team dynamics, decision-making, and executive presence. The goal is to help you lead with more confidence, self-awareness, and effectiveness in the situations that matter most.
Your mentor
Ive been in design leadership roles for more than 15 years. I've taught classes, written a few books, and toured around doing public speaking conferences. Being a good leader takes time, patience, and a willingness to help people grow.
We'll dive into my Three Pillars of Leadership success and help identify the leadership situations you're facing, understand your strengths, and pinpoint the behaviors or patterns that may be limiting effectiveness. The goal is applied support tied to your actual role, team, and challenges. We'll explore how you communicate, makes decisions, manage others, influences stakeholders, and respond under pressure.
