Turn a challenging design project into a success

“

- You work in a profession that is growing, dynamic, and changing so fast that without the right preparation, outlook, and tools, you could be over your head in a blink of an eye. With that reality, whether you're a creative leader or designer, you have to work with a variety of clients, all who have various perceptions of quality and value. You have to become a pro at creating processes to ensure a project goes smoothly from beginning to end and you need to master the art of communication so the client is clear and can trust the process you outline for them. And yet not every project will go smoothly. Many times, for a variety of reasons, a project will become challenging and even end badly, costing you a valuable client. This course will share stories, common things to avoid, tools, techniques, and processes to help you mitigate and manage these difficulties as much as possible. We will also learn about how to deal with tough clients, coworkers, reduce stress, and explore how you can be the best solution versus the problem. Join me, Justin Ahrens, in my LinkedIn Learning course as we dive into how to make the most out of a difficult design project or job and how preparation, attitude, and vision can help you navigate through it successfully.
