What our coachees say…
“This makes great sense too for design professionals with no formal background in design”
Faraz“Definitely food for thought. Makes me think about my career!”
Paul“My ideas often remain just ideas. Having a plan that feels good helps me big time.”
Arnout“They take great care of me at work, yet it’s really good to get coached by someone from the outside.”
MauritsBosses like this.
When bosses supply their designers with independent career coaching, everybody wins. Designers are more dedicated to their career steps, and bosses future-proof their Design HRM:
Better retention and replacement planning.
Faster detection of motivational issues.
Easier planning of education topics and allocation.
“We really need this as managers often can’t unlock all potential in a designer.”
“We have every confidence that your coaches will add value for our designers.“
