About this event

What if you took the time to design the most important project of all: your life?
Imagine if you could:
- Clarify what truly matters to you.
- Get unstuck, take charge, and move into action.
- Explore a career path aligned with your aspirations.
What is it
Designing Your Life (DYL) is a structured, science based life innovation method created at Stanford University. It is a powerful framework for gaining insights into yourself and your potential, for creating life opportunities aligned with your goals, and for crafting the life path that inspires you - step by step.
DYL was born from the work of Stanford University Professors Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. It quickly became the university’s most popular elective, and was adopted by Harvard, MIT, Yale, and other prestigious institutions worldwide. With the publication of 2 best-selling books in 2016 and 2018, the method is now open to a wider public and to organizations. It has helped thousands of people chart richer and more fulfilling career paths.
