The design and tech industries are undergoing a wave of unprecedented changes; numerous fields have been impacted by economic upheavals, AI, and layoffs. As a result, many people are experiencing the anxiety of losing the sense of identity and orientation that their roles and jobs provided them.
However, with change comes transformation - and opportunity. This one-day course uses a unique blend of design thinking, coaching and mindfulness practices to teach the mindset, strategies and tools for navigating these uncertainties.
During the session, you’ll learn how to make use of transitory and liminal periods in your life to build higher self-awareness and creative confidence.
