Well good news, we packaged up everything into a workshop bundle that you can get for just $39 USD.

The workshops are valuable for UX and Product professionals at any stage of your career, whether you are just starting out, switching from a different industry, or have been working in this field for a while.
When it comes to setting and achieving your career goals, there are common things you must do to plan and execute those goals regardless of how many years of experience you have.
Ok to recap, the workshop bundle includes:
- 5 hours of actionable workshops with me (Sarah)

That's all for this week.
