Design Your Comeback

Design Your Comeback

Ready to relaunch your career — but don’t want to do it alone?

Design Your Comeback is a dynamic, collaborative program for people who are re-entering the workforce and want to do it with confidence, clarity, and a supportive community at their side.

You’ll tap into powerful design thinking tools from the New York Times bestselling book Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. These tools have helped thousands of people rethink and redesign their careers from the ground up.

Rooted in the Stanford Life Design course that inspired a global movement, this two-part journey blends live learning with real-world action to help you gain clarity, momentum, and meaningful connections.

The hands-on workshop is facilitated by Certified Designing Your Life Facilitators & Coaches Catherine Dalipe and Katie Selby, who will guide you through the Life Design process with practical exercises, collaboration, and supportive coaching.
