As a leadership coach, Cap completed approximately 600 one-on-ones with designers and design leaders, as well as their counterparts in engineering and product management.

In this talk, he digs into what he's learned over the past year of coaching designers and leaders, as well as how to thoughtfully approach the challenges we all universally face.
