▶️ Where can I find a Service Design mentor or coach?

My two cents

ADPlist for free Service Design mentoring

On the website ADPlist.org you can get free mentoring and grow in your practice for free.

And if you type in the search box the word Service Design, you'll see that there are plenty of people who are service designers who are willing to help you out.

And if this kind of free mentoring isn't enough for you and you want to go a step further, there are also great Service Design coaches out there.

Rebecca Horton for Service Design coaching

For example, Rebecca Horton offers Service Design coaching.

She has more than 10 years of experience as a service designer, and therefore she can really share about the mindsets of Service Design, and help you grow in your practice.

Andy Polaine for design leadership coaching

If you are more in a leadership role and you want to understand how you can use all your past practice as a service designer in your leadership role, I think Andy Polaine is the right choice for you.

Andy offers design leadership coaching. So his type of coaching will be less about the pure Service Design stuff, but more about how you want to bring your career forward, how you can better manage your time, and how you can really create your design studio, your design department, and manage people.

Myself for Service Design coaching

And finally as I'm a service designer and also an educator, Service Design coaching is also something that I do.

Start with ADPlist

But you might say: "Daniele, I'm not sure where to start".

If that's the case, start with a free Service Design mentoring with a mentor from the ADPlist website.

These are people who are working in the trenches and that know a lot. Plus they have a big heart. They're giving of their time for free to mentor you.

And it will be great way to see if mentoring is something for you or not.
