What’s the Buzz Around 'Designing Your Life'?
November 14th, 2019
Noon MST – 45 minutes
Have you heard about the surprise bestselling book Designing Your Life? Written by two Stanford professors, it distills the content from their popular “what should I do with my life” course. If you’re challenged to understand what’s next for you professionally, this free webinar will make clear that you don’t need to know your passion to design a life you love. We'll walk through topics like:
- Techniques to address the scarcity of ideas (and its opposite: too many ideas)
- An approach to moving from a career leap (which, while enticing, also holds significant risk) to a series of incremental steps
- Methods for weaving accountability into your process
