Do you ever feel stuck in your career, wanting more meaning, growth, or balance, but unsure of how to make that change without risking stability or overwhelm?

You’re not alone. Many professionals crave a shift: a career aligned with their values, a work-life dynamic that supports both well-being and ambition, and clarity about what “next” looks like.

What this workshop offers

In the Designing Your Work Life two-day immersive workshop, you will:

  • Gain clarity on your values, strengths, and what really matters, so you can make career decisions with confidence.
  • Explore new career directions or ways to reshape your current role so it fits your purpose and lifestyle.
  • Prototype your future, mapping out possible paths, testing ideas, and avoiding costly missteps.
  • Gain tools to manage work pressure, create boundaries, and reclaim time without sacrificing ambition and success.
  • Build resilience, strengthening your mindset to handle transitions, uncertainty, and stress.
  • Connect with like-minded professionals to gain inspiration, support, and accountability.

What you'll experience

During this career-focused workshop, you will go through a step-by-step process with guided exercises based on the Designing Your Work Life method. 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 (re)design and take charge of your work life using the following methods:

  • Design thinking for Careers: Engage in interactive sessions and exercises focused on applying design thinking to your professional journey, work identity, and career choices.
  • Key modules: Explore topics such as identifying life's purpose, overcoming and re-framing limiting beliefs, optimising balance and energy, and creating actionable plans for sustainable change.
  • Practical tools for career transitions: Navigate change with clarity, articulate your professional goals, and boost your creative confidence.
