Built on the proven Designing Your Life framework used around the world, this session invites women to explore their deepest values, challenge limiting assumptions, and gain practical tools rooted in design thinking to imagine and prototype possibilities for the future. Through guided exercises and radical collaboration with fellow participants, you’ll learn to reframe challenges, clarify what matters most, and begin sketching a personal “compass” and action plan for your professional and personal life. Whether you’re at a crossroads, exploring a new direction, seeking deeper purpose, or simply curious about how design-thinking can fuel growth, this session offers inspiration, community, and actionable insight—and sets the stage for continued connection during the Happy Hour & Networking that follows.
