Designing Your Life teaches learners to apply design thinking and process to career and life planning. Learners will practice the mindsets of curiosity, trying things, reframing problems, and collaborating with others. They will develop a statement of their philosophy of work in line with their values and perspectives. They will explore which of their daily activities energize them. Finally, learners will learn to explore and develop life plans and test them through a prototyping process.
