Leading as an Introvert

Meghan D'Mello RGD

About this video

Description

Many designers are introverts and/or have a preference for staying behind-the-scenes. But eventually, every designer is asked to run meetings, conduct training or lead on creative pitches. Join Meghan as she presents tactics to propel you out from behind your computer screen to the front of the boardroom (or virtual screen) by embracing your existing strengths. Instead of trying to overcome introversion, you'll learn to embrace it and lead with empathy, creativity and authenticity.

For the past 10+ years, she has prioritized working with socially-conscious businesses, not-for-profits and organizations that advance human rights – using design to bring about positive change in Canada and communities around the world.
