People keep asking what The Backdoor
actually looks like. So here it is.
8 weeks. Small group — 6-8 experienced designers. Monthly intake.
Weeks 1-2: Core Clarity.
You figure out exactly what role you want, why you want it, and how to talk about your value in a way that lands. Portfolio repositioned. LinkedIn rewritten. Direction locked.
Weeks 3-5: Curious Conversations.
A target list of 15-20 companies where your experience is a competitive advantage. 15+ customised outreach messages. Warm introductions through a system that gets 20-30% response rates. No cold applying.
Weeks 6-8: Compelling Choice.
Interview prep that makes you the obvious hire. A 90-day plan that shows you've already started thinking like an insider. Negotiation strategy. And the thing that matters most — trust in your own judgment again.
Group coaching calls + 1:1 sessions with me. Plus 12 months of community access after the 8 weeks.
The next cohort starts March 30.
DM me BACKDOOR on LinkedIn. I'll ask two questions — what level you're at and how long you've been searching.
If it's a fit, I'll send the details. If it's not, I'll tell you why and point you somewhere better.
No sales call. The conversation is private — no one sees it but us.
