Designing Your Life Workshops

Career and Life Planning with Designing Your Life!

Where is this career takingme? And is that where I want to go? Is this the life I had planned?

Interestingly, only 24% of us are on a career path that we were trained for, yet many believe that there is a path they “should” be following, confirmed by the “advice” from Friends and Family. And, like most advice, it leaves you wanting something more

Designing Your Life is a proven program to help you incrementally approach those big questions. Based on work at Stanford, this #1 New York Times bestseller shows us how Design Thinking can help us create a meaningful and fulfilling career and life. Responsible for the amazing technology and products you are reading this one, now use the same approach to design a career and life plan together!

In a cohort of other lifelong learners, you mix with people from different careers, life stages, and cultures to learn that we are all making this up as we go. And there is a way of embracing this set of skills to produce a life of fulfillment and joy, constantly creative and productive, which always holds the possibility of surprise.

The biggest change was from a mindset purely focused on work to one that balances life and gives happiness. This amazing combination of content and homework, regular workshops, and a cohort of others in similar situations was incredibly helpful in facilitating a change.”

“Start with where you are” Life design is possible, no matter what your starting point. If you are rethinking your next promotion, changing jobs, or simply want to reassess where your career is going next, our proven methods help you. Either incorporated into our One-to-One Coaching, in cohort-based workshops, or a combination of both, we blend the Designing Your Life resources with our own proven best practices.

Here’s what our workshop participants are sharing:

“This course will change your life in expected and unexpected ways. The people, the stories about music, and the tips for my personal development made this one of the most memorable coaching experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!”

“I knew I was ready to make a big career change before I joined, but making the change felt overwhelming and I was directionless. Now, I have a plan that feels both productive and is helping me continue down my path of both identifying something I’m more passionate about, and how to get there productively.”

If you feel stuck or want to better understand yourself and what your ideal job/life looks like, this DYL course will get you started on that journey while also helping build a support network of like-minded individuals. Highly recommended!

New tools with three new life scenarios. A better understanding of the successes I have already had in prototyping. And the concept of gravity problems and anchor solutions is useful language for things I have been struggling with. And hearing from others thinking about redesign is helpful.

Mark's DYL workshop presented an opening for me to explore basic questions about how I want to live vs just running through my days. It created an intentionality, an agenda and a support system to honestly explore these questions. I have literally moved forward toward my goals during this workshop on things I had been talking about for years. Now I am taking action!!!!!
