Feeling unsure about your next move? Wondering how your career and life fit together?
This hands-on workshop will help you take a step back, reflect, and (re)imagine your future. We’ll use a design thinking approach inspired by Designing Your Life (the NYT bestseller by Stanford University’s Bill Burnett and Dave Evans) to help you look ahead and take your next steps with clarity and confidence.
Whether you’re starting out, in transition, or simply craving a refresh, you’ll explore new possibilities and gain practical tools to navigate uncertainty and move your life and career forward with intention.
During the workshop you will:
- Pause and reflect on your life right now
- Develop a clearer sense of what matters to you in your life and career
- Design three different versions of your future to generate a wide range of possibilities
- Leave with actionable next steps
Get ready to shake things up – and gain the skills to design a meaningful 2026 and beyond!
