I have had the pleasure of attending conferences to interview and learn from the most creative minds in the User Experience discipline from around the world. (This includes the sharing of such wisdom through the i.a. podcast, boxes and arrows, and most recently the new series over on Johnny Holland, Radio Johnny.)

Today I’m proud to announce the launch of a series of workshops I’ll be leading entitled, Follow the UX Leader; teaching the fundamentals of User Experience Design, Information Architecture, and Writing for the Web.

At Follow The UX Leader we believe in learning by doing. That’s why we’ve created a series of workshops on advanced web practices that throw out the PowerPoint paradigm and shift the learning back to the way it was when we were kids: hands on …lively …interactive …and fun! Follow The UX Leader isn’t just about learning from experts in the fields of user experience, interaction design, information architecture and writing for the web. It’s about learning from others, sharing experiences and ideas, and connecting “the old fashioned way” – face-to-face. Because what we learn offline – holds the greatest value in defining and achieving success online.

In addition I have received generous sponsorships from world renowned leaders in the field of User Experience, including:

FatDUX (Denmark)
ClickTale Web Analytics (Israel)
Optimal Workshop (New Zealand)
Morgan Kauffman (USA)
Rosenfeld Media (USA)
MarsWorks (Canada)

Prizes will be given away at random to participants in each workshop from several of our sponsors. My heart felt thanks for their incredible generosity!

The first workshops on User Experience Design, People before Pixels, will be held May 11th and May 12th with only 20 seats per session, so sign up quickly to ensure your seat at the table!

I designed these workshops because I believe passionately that if we can learn to communicate more effectively within the varied teams that make up all organizations today, we can accomplish any goals we set for ourselves.

I look forward to the opportunity to provide you with the experiences and tools that will help your company achieve great success!
