We have worked that way with our clients on organizational transformation for many years - and have seen sustainable and often amazing results.
We support and encourage our clients to grow in a healthy way - to be aware of their strengths, to see their opportunities, to be cautious of threats and to remove barriers that are in the way of growing on the organizational and on the individual level. 
We are extremely proud to be the first certified Designing Your Life provider in Europe and look forward to help you reframe some dysfunctional beliefs, encourage you to be curious and to try stuff and ensure you that your are not alone - we will work with you in a radically collaborative process.
We are proud to be official partners with Designing Your Life.
you don't need to know your passion to design a life and career you love - the only way to know what you really want to do, what you really want to grow into, is to prototype some potential lives, try them out and see what you really like ....

Designing Your Work Life In-Person & Virtual Team Workshops

why bring dywl to your workplace?
There has never been a more compelling need for new work life design than now!
The global pandemic has changed everything – the way we work, learn, celebrate, workout, care for families and play. And it has emphasized areas where we have strengths, pointed out very clearly where we need to remove barriers, has shown us possibility for growth while also mirroring where we face risks if we do not adapt to new challenges.
Employees at every level struggle with blurred boundaries, isolation and burnout. Many feel stuck, unable to progress in their jobs and careers, questioning if what they are currently doing is really what they would like to pursue in the future.
We believe the new normal will continue to evolve, and we must design ways to thrive and grow in this world of turbulent change.
what results are you looking for? 
We work with companies and organizations who want to increase employees’ engagement and performance and their ability to:
• Confidently use design thinking process, tools and mindsets to address work and life challenges
• Reframe balance to avoid the either/or dichotomy of work-life
• Design ways to improve your balance and energy
• Get unstuck
• Increase coherence in current and future roles
• Design possibilities for career growth and agency
• Increase discernment and confidently make decisions
• Prototype (try out) new work life designs
whats your solution?
Great design always starts with empathy for user needs, so we start with your goals and needs and co-create a solution with you considering these variables:
• Workshop length: From 3 hours – 1.5 days
• Format: Virtual, in-person or hybrid
• Content: Use standard modules, or work with us to co-create new models

William Burnett & David J. Evans -
Designing Your Work Life
Building Your Design Team & Trusted Networks - Just like designers, we can benefit from design teams in our personal lives
Set the Bar Low, and Clear it Often - One of the most popular Life Design Tools to increase a sense of accomplishment
Refreshing Your Life Design Toolkit - Get curious, Talk to people, Try stuff and Tell your story
Prototyping Your Way to a Better Future - Having conversations driven by your curiosity with an interesting person has never been more available
designing your life is your personal design process to create a well-designed life
A well-designed life is a rich portfolio of experiences, adventures, and failures that teach us important lessons; that result in hardships that make us stronger, that help us know ourselves better; it's a life of achievements and satisfaction.
And how do you get there? In their hugely successful course, Designing Your Life, Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, the Silicon Valley innovators and Stanford University design educators have helped thousands change the way they design their lives and careers.
They believe that in order to change, people need a process - a design process - to help them figure out what they want and how to create it. Based on their experience they have developed the Life Design© method and have shared a lot of their knowledge in the New York Times bestseller Designing Your Life, How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life.
designing your life & career
designers don't think their way forward, designers build their way forward.
Designing Your Life Workshops show you how to build a future brick by brick, how to approach your own life design challenges with the same kind of curiosity that resulted in the creation of the lightbulbs, the printing press, and the Internet, and it gives you the tools and shows you a certain "mind-set" and how to use them to practice life design in your life and career.
corporate
New organization forms ask for more self-management and higher purpose. By offering Designing Your Life Workshops, companies are changing their employee experience to:
  • Increase Engagement: Surveys show that life design can increase employee empowerment and ownership for their career and engagement at work.
  • Promote Innovative Career Development: Give employees helpful tools and a design thinking process to design their careers for greater energy and fulfillment, as well as tools to talk with their managers about their goals. Designing Your Life can be an accelerator for internal mobility.
  • Increase Employee Wellness & Balance: Promote tools for employees to improve balance, job fit and flourishing.
  • Innovative problem-solving mindset: Designing Your Life Workshops empower employees to apply an innovative problem-solving mindset not only to their own career and life, but also to any other kind of challenge in their every-day business experience
individuals
Spend time on the most important design project of all - your life
  • Are you looking for a job that you really like or maybe even love? 
  • Do you wonder how you can balance your career and your family?
  • Are you considering a career change and don't know where to start?
  • Are you in some kind of transition and could use some good tools?
  • Are you thinking about your encore life, what you would like to do next?
  • Do you generally feel that life it pretty good, but could be even better?
  • Do you feel stuck?
You will leave the workshop with clarity regarding where you are right now, new designs for balance and energy, new ways to frame problems you’ve been trying to solve for a while, insights on how to hone your decision making, and three possible future paths – Odyssey Plans – for your life. You will do all this in a fast paced co-ed collaborative community helping one another design a unique journey toward a well-lived, joyful life.
