Designing your life
Applying Design Thinking principles to career development, Stanford professors Bill Burnett and Dave Evans encourage students to 1) Get Curious; 2) Talk to people; 3) Try stuff; and 4) Tell your story. They do this through an in-depth and active design thinking process.
There are a number of ways you can learn about and share Evans’ and Burnett’s approach to career resilience:
- Their book, Designing Your Life as well as their two follow-up books, Designing Your Work Life and Designing Your New Work Life
- The Designing Your Life website
- The Creative Confidence Podcast: Designing Your Work Life with Bill Burnett
- Bill’s Ted Talk: 5 steps to designing the life you want
