Designing Your Life for Everyone-Digital Journey (Oct 2025)

Designing Your Life for Everyone — Fall Workshop Series

Live via Zoom | October 17, 18, 24, 25 | 2:00–5:30 pm ET each day

Many of us move through life transitions — some planned, others unexpected — with a sense of uncertainty, stuckness, or restlessness. Whether you're navigating personal or professional shifts, feeling burned out, or simply wondering what’s next, this workshop is for you.

Designing Your Life (DYL) offers a fresh, practical, and empowering approach. Based on the work of Stanford Professors Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, this experience introduces you to life design, a creative and human-centered process rooted in design thinking — a proven method for solving complex problems, generating new possibilities, and moving forward with clarity and confidence.

You’ll learn how to apply design thinking to your own life, using it to:

• Reframe stuck patterns and limiting beliefs
• Approach your life as a creative, evolving process
• Imagine multiple fulfilling futures (not just one “right” path)
• Take action through small experiments that lower risk and increase insight
• Build momentum, confidence, and resilience through community and structure

Led by certified DYL facilitators from Fieldbrook Advising, this four-part interactive workshop brings the bestselling Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life to life in a virtual setting — with tools, discussion, reflection, and collaboration every step of the way.
