This workshop is based on Stanford’s most popular course “Design Your Life”. In this workshop, you will apply design thinking together with positive psychology to your career and your life beyond work. It will help you gain more clarity about your career situation, become better at making decisions and stay emotional stable, flexible, and confident despite uncertainty. Together with other postdocs and established researchers, you develop a constructive and effective approach to finding and designing your vocation at the University or elsewhere by developing new thinking patterns and working on your future portfolio with ideas, activities and actions.

  • You will analyze what brought you where you are today (making sense of the past to design the future)
  • You will define your current career challenges and ideate possible solutions (getting from either-or thinking to multi-optional thinking)
  • You will break down possible solutions into actionable steps (to shape your future proactively, be the agent and not the victim)
  • You will apply your learning and ideas by iteratively designing your way forward to a meaningful life (with the growth mindset).

You will

  • understand your needs for a meaningful career and life
