The Community for Design Leaders
Creative leaders hold an important role in their organization, yet they have few if any peers at their level. co.rise is a curated community and coaching program dedicated to supporting creatives in leadership positions. Our program features strong peer support groups and experienced executive coaches who help members think strategically, drive change, and achieve success in their professional journeys.
A Community that Empowers You
Our skilled coaches help our members navigate leadership challenges, build strong peer networks that support their professional growth through personalized guidance and knowledge sharing.
Membership
We support leading designers at startups and large organizations. We interview each applicant to get a sense of their background, coaching expectations, and career ambitions. This helps us place everyone who is a fit into a cohort with like-minded peers. We also work with employers to cover costs.
Your People
Our members are high-caliber design professionals, often with the titles of Design Lead, Design Director, Head of Design, VP of Design, and Chief Design Officer. They are growth-oriented and join us from startups and Fortune 500 companies, bringing diverse experiences and insights.
Support for Success
Each cohort includes 6-8 diverse and complementary design leaders. Monthly 90-minute coaching sessions, led by certified coaches, are tailored to the group’s specific needs. We address a broad range of leadership challenges, from daily hurdles like team motivation and conflict resolution to deeper questions about members' career journey, values, and purpose. Our tools and community provide the support they need to thrive.
Community & Events
We strive to make design leadership less lonely and isolating by building deep and trusted relationships amongst peers. In addition to our coaching calls, we organize virtual workshops, roundtable discussions, 1-on-1 calls, and in-person gatherings. There's also an exclusive online community and member site to connect and find resources.
