Hi,

Let’s be honest: the hardest part of leadership isn’t managing deadlines or setting strategy.

It’s the people part. It’s guiding teams through the ambiguity of creative problem solving—where collaboration gets messy, ideas feel fragile, and outcomes aren’t always clear from the start.

You’re great at the work. But now you’re responsible for the people doing it, and that’s a different kind of challenge.

You don’t need a management textbook. You need a human, approachable way to lead your team through the complex, high-stakes work of innovation. That’s exactly what our new 2.5-hour Creative Leadership Workshop is designed for.

 ⚡ Limited-Time Offer: Enroll now for $249 (regularly $299)

Over the years, we’ve seen that most good leaders already have strong instincts. You care. You listen. You want to help your team thrive. But instincts can only take you so far—especially as your role expands and complexity grows. 

It can feel like you’re figuring this leadership thing out from moment to moment. But it doesn’t have to be that way. 

There’s more structure to great creative leadership than you might think.

In just 2.5 hours, this live, online workshop will give you practical tools, reflection prompts, and proven leadership mindsets to help you:

• Motivate your team through complexity
• Build a culture of trust, creativity, and belonging
• Lead with confidence and clarity—even when the path is unclear
  

Enrollment closes August 19th. Choose the live session that works best for you:

• August 27 @ 4pm Pacific Time
• September 3 @ 11am Pacific Time
• September 10 @ 8am Pacific Time

At IDEO U, we believe leadership is a practice. It’s something you grow into and continually hone. Even the most experienced leaders benefit from time to reflect, reset, and refocus on what matters most.

So whether you’re stepping into a bigger role, leading a new initiative, or simply in need of a moment to pause and recalibrate—this workshop is for you.

We hope you’ll join us when the workshop starts this August. You’ll be surprised how much can shift in just one short session.

Sincerely,

IDEO U ☻
