Who is it for?
We run Designing Your Life as a live, in-person and online programme, now welcoming our 10th cohort, a diverse group of professionals and founders ready to shape the next chapter of their careers and lives.
This live online experience welcomes all genders and focuses on those in moments of career shift or transition, people ready 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.
Professionals who use positive psychology principles are 50% more likely to earn a promotion or find greater fulfilment in their careers.
This programme is ideal for founders and experienced professionals with a growth mindset, ready to step back from the day-to-day, reconnect with what energises them, and take inspired action toward what’s next.
For ambitious people who have built, achieved and given a lot, but know there is more to life than simply keeping going.
- You’re no longer challenged or energised by your work.
- You’re craving more meaning, joy or fulfilment.
- You need more time for yourself — and less autopilot.
- You want to reconnect with what truly lights you up.
- You’re ready to pause, rethink and design what’s next

In between
Homework
2-4 HOUR SELF-STUDY
One of the biggest benefits of this one-month journey is the space it gives you to pause, reflect, share and revisit what comes up during the sessions.
Between each session, we recommend 1–4 hours of self-study.
Minimum: 20 minutes
Maximum: 4 hours
Your journey, your pace.
You’ll receive one self-study exercise before each session:
- Self-Study 1 · Before Session 1
- Self-Study 2 · Before Session 2
- Self-Study 3 · Before Session 3
Go deeper when you feel inspired. Take your time when you need it. The more space you create for yourself, the more you can get out of the journey.
After the programme, you can keep the momentum going through our Momentum Programme or continue exploring with your pair, especially if you joined with a friend, your co-founder or colleague.
