Learn why & how to

Align before Design

Tamara Adlin, a pioneer in alignment strategies and personas, will prepare you to _______ ___________

I’ll be launching a self-paced workshop to teach you how to use my (insert some adjectives) framework to align stakeholders on projects big and small.

Who’s it for?

UX professionals tired of personas that get ignored

Researchers looking for a faster path to testable hypotheses

Designers navigating executive chaos

Product teams who need to get unstuck—without waiting for a massive research project

Consider adding:

Web Strategists

Marketing Directors

What do I get?

2+ hours of on-demand video lessons

Downloadable templates, scripts,
and conversation prompts

A reusable, scalable, practical
method you can start using tomorrow…& teach your team

Internal pitch deck to get
stakeholder buy-in

Real-world examples of
Alignment Personas in action

A complete facilitator’s guide

What will I learn?

Why traditional personas often fail (and what to do instead)

Why “alignment” is a critical skill as you become more senior (ADAM NOTE: This should be articulated on this page - why should i learn this? Why should i care about becoming good at alignment? Or why should i spend money to get my employee this training?)

How to run the Five Conversations workshop to create Alignment Personas

How to use these personas to drive design, roadmap, and research

How to respond to: “But do we have data for that?”

Personas? Seriously?

Yup.

I co-authored The Persona Lifecycle books. I know pretty much everything about personas, including all the debates, annoyances, bad-taste-in-your-mouth experiences, projects that worked, projects that didn’t, all the different kinds, and the ‘why’ behind all of the above.

I developed and tested Alignment Personas and the collaborative workshop to create them with stakeholders. I’ve used them with 80+ teams, from startup C-level teams to an enterprise design team and their bosses’ boss.

Mastering alignment will make your life easier and your products better.
