Creative Leadership
Many designers feel unheard at work, whether by managers who don’t understand design, executives who prioritize speed over quality, or clients who assume their personal taste overrides expertise.
Creative Leadership
A leadership style that worked five years ago may not serve you today. That’s not failure; it’s evolution. The best leaders know when to adjust, when to listen, and when to lead with renewed purpose. If you’re ready to rebuild, start today.

When last-minute projects become the norm, they don’t just disrupt workflow; they erode the foundation of good creative work.

Hey fellow leaders, it’s Charm’s Founder Lauren here. I am proudly no longer a project fire starter. But let’s go ahead and relive my trauma together for educational benefit; let’s take a look at some of my arsonist history.
Managing Creative Teams
If you’ve ever felt like your brain is running on overdrive from social media, the endless notifications, news updates, and constant pressure to keep up... us too.

Effective communication is the cornerstone of a thriving workplace. When it falters, the repercussions extend far beyond mere misunderstandings, affecting various facets of organizational health.

By prioritizing these practices, organizations can ensure that their team members are not only satisfied but also empowered to contribute fully, leading to a more innovative and resilient workplace.

By integrating Design Thinking into Agile, you ensure that the iterative product development process remains user-centered, focusing on solving real-world problems effectively.
Agile
Traditional project management is typically linear, following a “waterfall” model where each phase (planning, design, development, testing, deployment) happens sequentially. In contrast, Agile is cyclical, with teams working on iterations of the product throughout its development.
