Design Your (Professional) Future and Life

Facilitated by: Kristiāna Roth un Julia Leitner.

How to act in times of uncertainty?

How to consciously shape your work and life, even if there is no specific plan?

This is A hands-on workshop series to reimagine work and life using Life Design tools. Five-part workshop series are based on methods from Stanford University and the University of St. Gallen, we combine Design Thinking, systemic coaching, and behavioral science to help participants explore what’s next in both life and work.

Who is It for?

Design Your (Professional) Future & Life is designed to support employees at key moments in their careers — especially those who benefit from reflection, realignment, and renewed momentum. It is particularly well-suited for:

• New hires and trainees who want to connect their personal purpose with the company’s mission and culture.

• Mid-career professionals who are navigating questions of meaning, impact, or change – or experiencing stagnation and disengagement.

• Emerging leaders seeking clarity about their future direction, values, and growth opportunities.

• Employees in transition following internal restructuring, role changes, or team shift.

• Experienced professionals approaching retirement who wish to explore their legacy, future contributions, and meaningful next steps.

What Participants will Gain?

• Tools to make confident decisions in times of transition.

• A clearer sense of direction aligned with personal values.

• Mindsets and methods to overcome procrastination and test new ideas.

• A personal innovation portfolio to guide future experiments.

• A supportive peer community and an individual coaching session (1.5h online).

• Practical methods for improving wellbeing through experimentation.

Work Format

Five online workshops (customizable for in-house delivery); one personal coaching session with a certified trainer; materials, templates, and reflection tools.

Language: English (with two trainers) or Latvian (with one trainer).

Each session builds on the last, guiding participants step by step through the Life Design process — from self-reflection to experimentation and integration.
