Designing Your Life: A 2-Day Immersive Workshop in Amsterdam
During this Life Design workshop, you will go through a step-by-step process with guided exercises that cover the fundamentals of applied life design. Born at Stanford University, through the initiative of professors William Burnett and David J. Evans, “Designing Your Life” quickly became the university’s most popular elective. Now also available in Amsterdam!
For each step, the expert facilitators introduce a tool, invite you to do some personal reflection, and then move into small groups for peer-to-peer exchange to enrich your own reflections and to learn from each other. The sessions will give you the tools you need to redesign and take charge of your own life in an intentional way. Navigate life by design, not by default. Tailored to help you refine your vision, set impactful goals, and transform your professional and personal life. Don’t miss this chance to invest in your future!
🔹 Design thinking for life: Engage in interactive sessions and exercises focused on applying design thinking to your career, personal life, and community.
🔹 Key modules: Explore topics such as identifying life’s purpose, overcoming limiting beliefs, optimising energy, and creating actionable plans for sustainable change.
🔹 Practical tools: Navigate transitions, articulate your personal and professional goals, and boost your creative confidence.
