Project Description
Hey there,
Chloe here from Austin—senior graphic designer at Adobe, splitting my time between here and San Jose more than I'd like (these trips are killing my back, but that's a whole other thing). Lately, with my team's buried in this big UX revamp, I've been feeling like I'm carrying the whole brainstorm load—folks are talented, but they're not jumping in with ideas or pushing proactive, and it's got me filling all the silence myself, which is exhausting when I'm already juggling Theo (my 2-year-old's a total whirlwind with his park chases and "why" questions) and pregnant with baby #2. I love the creative flow (nothing beats a quick park sketch or evening scone bake to unwind), but the deadline fog and mom juggle are making it hard to lead with the energy I want without burning out. I'm second-guessing how to spark the team better, get 'em sharing without me micromanaging, and still show up strong for Adobe while keeping my sanity for family stuff.
Saw your FGC Executive Coaching and it sounds like it could be a low-key way to level up—custom one-on-one stuff with uncapped access to a mentor who gets the org context and leveraged leadership? That sounds spot-on for someone like me who's all about practical tweaks. Quick questions to see if it'd fit my chaos: Can it tailor for a hybrid creative crew (virtual sessions during Theo's naps?), and how does it help with balancing work leadership (like motivating remote designers to contribute more) with personal life fog? Any examples of how it's helped execs navigate family/work overlap without it feeling like another to-do?
Just wanna know if this could help me lead with more ease and get the team humming before the little one flips everything. Hit me back if it vibes!
Thanks a ton,
Chloe
