Who is it for?

We host the Designing Your Work Life workshop only once a year, an exclusive weekend bringing together a diverse group of professionals and founders ready to shape the next chapter of their careers and lives.

This immersive experience welcomes all genders and focuses on those in moments of career shift or transition, people eager to pause, reflect, and design new possibilities with purpose.

You’ll learn how to apply Design Thinking and Positive Psychology to your work and life.

Studies show that professionals who use positive psychology principles are 50% more likely to earn a promotion or find greater fulfillment in their careers.

This workshop is ideal for founders and experienced professionals with a growth mindset, ready to step back from the day-to-day, reconnect with what energizes them, and take inspired action toward what’s next.
