This course is truly a must for anyone in design leadership. Before taking this course, I was attempting to gather resources and read books to learn how to do my job, but not very successfully. Now, I feel equipped with a clear game plan, strategy, and resources to be successful at my job and not feel so out of my element. I'm fairly confident this will go down as the course that changed the trajectory of my career.

Sure — here’s a tighter version:
Rachel’s Design Leadership at Scale is an excellent course for senior design leaders looking to expand their influence into organizational strategy. The content focuses on operating at scale, aligning design with business outcomes, and real leadership challenges. Rachel is a thoughtful, experienced facilitator who creates a supportive environment while pushing you to think more strategically. I’d highly recommend this course to anyone aiming for executive-level design leadership.

The course helped me understand far more than just how to scale a design organization. It's a masterclass in design strategy and organizational influence to help you become the design leader you know you are deep down inside. The community support you get from the others in your cohort is the perfect sanity check to remind you that you're on the right track and that the people work you're doing as a leader is the real work.

Rachel's course was a great leadership course that allowed me to rub elbows with designers and learn about this fascinating career path. I am relatively new to the design world and her frameworks will have high dividends for my career. Rachel has an experiential teaching style and can help you navigate the situations in your current career with ease and grace. I highly recommend taking Rachel's course!
