Welcome to Leaders of Awesomeness

Who is a UX leader? 

If you’re here, you’re probably a leader or working hard be become one.

A UX leader is different from a UX manager. A UX leader is not an appointed position. Anyone can become a UX leader; all it takes is a follower, a simple vision of where you want the UX in your company to be, and the drive to get it to that point. 

If you are a UX leader, join our Leaders of Awesomeness community today. 

After you request to join our Leaders of Awesomeness community, look in your inbox for an email with a link to finish the process. Then after you join, we’d love for you to introduce yourself in the community. 

Looking forward to seeing you there!
