Your 1:1s feel awkward. Team meetings are crickets. Trust is low, friction is high—and no matter how much you try to delegate, everything still winds up on your plate.
If any of this feels familiar, it's time for Team Up.
Team Up is an on-demand course for managers, leads, and anyone who wants their team to do big things—together. Over 7 learning modules, we'll teach you the coaching skills great managers use to unblock their reports, unlock growth, and build healthy, high-performing teams.
Each learning module is packed with video lessons, self-reflective prompts, activities, assignments, and quizzes—so you won't just learn theories or concepts, but practice them, too. And you can also come back to the lessons whenever you need a refresher—you'll keep access to Team Up for a full year.

What our clients say
“Without a doubt the best online course I've ever taken.
The coursework is relevant and practical, and I was able to apply the techniques immediately. As a seasoned manager looking for opportunities to grow and coach my team, this was the perfect co-pilot... This material is something I'll refer to again and again over the next few months as I reinforce the learning.”

We created Team Up based on our personal experience—first as design leaders ourselves, and now as coaches and trainers to leaders from companies like Google, LinkedIn, Shopify, Spotify, Gusto, Mastercard, Epic Games, Mozilla, and more.
We've spent the past 5 years honing this material in our private workshops and 1:1 sessions—and now we're opening it up to the public for the first time.
