about the course

In this workshop series you’ll get to assess your situation, explore potential paths forward, and prototype life design changes in a fun and engaging setting. We’ll help each other ideate, grow our networks (and ourselves!), and support each other in the process.

The tools we use were created by Dave Evans and Bill Burnett, the Stanford professors behind the Designing Your Life books. This approach has helped countless students and professionals think about what they want their life to look like, and begin taking steps in that direction. The effectiveness of this method is research supported and the tools are timeless - you will walk away with an approach that you can apply at any point in your life when you are at a cross roads or need to make a change to find more satisfaction.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING…

  • "I took this class when uncertainty was looming and I felt like my career was being bounced about by forces beyond my control. My previous experience with a career coach was awful, but I figured I’d try to this - and wow! This completely changed the way I thought about my career and my life - it reminded me that I am in control of both! This class gave me the discipline and tools I needed for self-reflection on what I really wanted out of life. I’m excited to take back control of my career! I highly recommend this course for anyone who is feeling like they’re at a cross roads or is not 100% satisfied with their career path."
