From the Kellogg Alumni Club of South Florida Trying to figure out how your career and life fit together? Ready to shake things up? Are you willing to create 3 Odyssey Plans for the next 5 years in 15 minutes? This highly interactive workshop is based on the New York Times bestselling book Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, and is led by Matthew Temple, Director of Alumni Career & Professional Development at Northwestern Uniuversity's Kellogg School of Management. 6:00 to 6:30 Networking with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres 6:30 to 9:00 Design Your Life Workshop Applying Design Thinking to Your Life Authors Bill Burnett and Dave Evans take a design thinking approach to careers and life. Design thinking is a mindset that includes radical collaboration, reframing, curiosity, mindfulness of process, and a bias towards action. Designers build their way forward; they don’t wait for epiphanies on mountain tops (not that there’s anything wrong with that). What You Will Get Out of This Workshop We will work on several exercises during the workshop. 1. We will map your energy, to see what activities energize you and which ones drain you. How can you become more intentional about planning your week so you’re not drained by Friday? 2. We will practice radical collaboration. How can you leverage people from different walks of life to help you generate new ideas and fresh perspectives? Meet some new people in your South Florida network who can help push your ideas forward. Be prepare to provide your expertise and guidance to their dreams as well. You’ll leave here with a new network of supporters! 3. We will create three different Odyssey Plans that provide a roadmap to change. When will you start that company that you’ve been thinking about? When will you finally hike the length of the Appalachian Trail or bicycle to Patagonia? And what about that oft-postponed dream of joining the Peace Corps? Who Will Lead Us?
