Designing Your Life
Monday, October 16th, 10:00am – 11:30am, E19-202
Careers are ill-defined, "wicked" problems. Learn how proven design thinking mindsets like curiosity, bias to action, reframing, and collaboration can help you help you design and build your career in the face of all the unknowns. Practice and take home valuable tools and questions to explore and develop a career that works for you. Designing Your Life<http://designingyour.life/> (DYL) is a career exploration approach pioneered by Stanford design faculty, recently publicized in the best-selling book<https://www.amazon.com/Designing-Your-Life-Well-Lived-Joyful/dp/1101875321/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1503069924&sr=1-1&keywords=designing+your+life> by professors Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. This workshop will be led by MIT staff, who attended the first-ever DYL training at Stanford. This specific workshop is for PhD students.
