Wonderful speech... but how?
Layoffs? Insecurity? Feeling lost? Fear of not delivering your best? Lack of recognition? Company lacking maturity in the UX field?
All of this is reason for us to feel anxious and/or desperate for a repositioning in the market, for direction, for a guiding light that we can’t see. It’s even worse when we have the ghost of the Impostor Syndrome staring at you at night, when you lie down to sleep and can’t rest your head.
This is the moment for you to reflect on what your true goal is and how to get there. It’s a journey that ain’t easy but, if you start now, you will reap good fruits quickly.
There’s no magic formula! It involves a lot of work and strategy to know yourself and understand what kind of journey you want to make.
The Career Mentorship Program has a group mentoring format, using an exclusive framework, where the goal is to establish a path for professional development for those who want to enter the field, those who are just starting, or those who are already working but would like tips on how to refine their skills.
If you truly want to find your place in the profession and know your journey, sign up for the mentoring.
The time has come for you to move forward.
Are you ready?
program structure
mapping
The mapping phase brings an approach of self-awareness for the mentee.
Here, we define a “snapshot” that reveals your current moment and aids in defining the next steps and career objectives in the field.
I venture to say that mapping is the most important phase of the process because the change in mindset and the clarity of the individual characteristics of each mentee establish which journey is to be defined.
It’s a transformation of the way of thinking and where to look from now on. And we will do all this through behavioral and personality profile tests.
preparation
When we define your goal – and consequently your direction – we will assess, structure, and align all the necessary tools to make the journey.
Aligned with all the definitions from the mapping phase, these tools will be adjusted to represent your behavioral characteristics and career objectives. This is a great help for the recruiter.
After the completion of this phase, the mentee will be ready to apply for the most relevant positions according to their profile.
climbing
The time has come to seek the best positioning in the market for you!
The mentee will be here, prepared in all aspects to apply for the appropriate positions with total confidence.
When everything is aligned, including the pitch to present your work, the ghost of impostor syndrome doesn’t even dare to show up.
This is where you reach the top of your first mountain, achieving the goal set at the beginning of the mentorship.
One thing I can assure you: The view from the top is fantastic!
We will use key elements to start our journey: Strategy, Communication, and Interface. Through each element, we will build all the skills needed to climb our mountains and reach our goals. Together!
an exclusive and efficient framework for you to reach the top of your mountain
