According to a press release:
This dynamic, interactive workshop provides tools to help participants (re)connect with their values, purpose, skills, and talents, and to discern paths forward at any stage in life, whether facing retirement or a career pivot, immersed in caregiving, or simply wanting more coherence in daily life.
Drawing on Stanford University's Designing Your Life and Life Design Catalyst methodologies, the workshop blends self-reflection exercises with authentic, supportive conversations among fellow participants. Students will explore possibilities and create concrete steps to move toward a life of alignment and clarity.
Dr. O'Neill said, "Our time together will cut through abstract overthinking about your future, increase efficacy and joy, and foster connections with fellow participants. You'll leave the workshop feeling unstuck, more compassionate toward yourself, and with real momentum toward a life that feels right for you."
