For who?
After talking to a whole bunch of new and more experienced UX leaders, we realised many of you have been facing the same questions:
-
How do I handle changing relationships with peers and stakeholders?
-
How can I proactively shape strategy and UX maturity, while juggling so many ad-hoc tasks and asks?
-
How can I redefine success, purpose and personal growth, now that my tasks have changed?
Do you work in UX in a leadership role and are you facing these challenges? Then this retreat is for you.
