Two-day life design intensive. Design the career—and life—you want.
Now that you’ve invested in further studies, what’s next? This two-day intensive program is here to help you shape your personal and professional path with intention and creativity.
Based on the world-renowned Stanford University Life Design Curriculum, this immersive experience uses the innovation principles of design thinking to tackle the ‘wicked problem’ of designing your life beyond study. You’ll explore big career and life questions in a collaborative workshop setting, guided by a structured framework and enriched by peer conversations.
This is a unique professional development opportunity unlike any you’ve encountered. Come with an open mind, ready to reflect, share, and have some fun. The program is carefully sequenced—each activity builds on the last—so full attendance across both days is essential.
You’ll engage in:
- Thought-provoking discussions with peers
- Guided individual reflections
- Personalised mentoring and coaching
Expect to step outside your comfort zone as you discover more about yourself, your goals, and what you want from life—and enjoy the process along the way.
