Career Development is often thought of as a straightforward process with easy-to-follow steps:

1. Reflect on your values, interests, and talents.

2. Research potential careers.

3. Create and implement the plan.

Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life (by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans) is a book that turns this approach upside down. It asks that we move beyond reflection and planning into a more active role as a designer.

Together, we will discuss strategies to design your career in ways that are practical, active, and meaningful.

• Learn how to apply the concept of prototyping to your career.
• Embrace having multiple career interests.
• Leave with follow up resources.

Getting Ready:

1. Use the Zoom app on your mobile phone, connected to a 4G network for the best possible experience. Or use a computer or tablet connected to WiFi, making sure you have a stable connection with good bandwidth for a streaming video/audio connection.

2. If you plan to use a computer for the video AND a phone for the audio, make sure you mute the audio features on one of your devices to avoid disruptive audio feedback/noise.

3. Come prepared to join in the discussion!

Come and network with your fellow ATD members and colleagues. We look forward to being together (in a remote way!)
