Create life that you love through Life Design workshop
If you are wondering “What should I do with my life?” or “What would be the best next steps for me?”, this is the perfect workshop for you!
We believe life can, and should, be meaningful, exciting, fulfilling, and that it is important to take time to question and plan to make sure that we are intentionally building such life.
How would you like to take an evening to re-design your life – to refocus on what matters to you most, to review your life vision, and clarify your goals, at the same time making them motivating, inspiring and impactful?
This workshop is here to help you understand what a life well-lived is for you and how you can create it, embody it, fulfill it, play with it, love it and live it – make it unfold in the way that works best for you.
When is life meaningful?
Life feels most meaningful when three aspects are aligned:
1. who you are (your strengths, personality, values)
2. what you believe in (your values, opinions and things you care about)
3. what you do (your work, hobbies, actions, goals and things you build and create in life)
When these three make a coherent story, that will give us a sense of meaning in our life and motivate us.
To build such a life, you need to choose carefully and intentionally what you DO – in what you invest time and energy.
In an interactive, engaging and practical way, we will look deep into what you want to do/be/become.
What will I get?
This workshop is an opportunity to take a step forward in building a life you love – a life based on your values and dreams, meaningful to you and crafted exactly according to your uniqueness – but also life built on little moments of joy, experiment, playfulness and fun.
It will give you new ideas, inspiration, motivation and a bit of a kick to create things you wish to create.
We will explore all aspects of your life – from everyday habits, to your biggest goals and vision for life.
You will gain new perspectives for you and plan what kind of experiences, growth, learning and creation you wish to build in your life. You will also make that vision and dream tangible by translating it into specific, clear and focused goals, as well as design diverse experiments to help you clear out your thoughts.
You leave the workshop with a concise 1-page-plan that holds all the answers.
One thing that is tough when doing your life plan is that it is very hard for us to hold the “big picture” perspective while at the same time designing a specific, actionable, down-to-earth plan.
These two perspectives are connected to two very different mindsets (and literally to using different parts of the brain which are tough to use at the same time).
And that is one of the things we bridge at Life Design – through a carefully designed process, you find your way of connecting these two perspective into Life Design that is at the same time highly practical and super inspiring.
Who should attend?
The short answer is: anyone who would like to intentionally design the life they want to live.
Most of our participants seem to fall into three broad categories: those creating a new path in life (planning a big change or transition), those wanting to get back on track of what they wanted out of life (yet somehow got a bit distracted from that path) and those insecure about what they want out of their life (and which career and life plan to pursue).
What do our previous participants say?
“Great workshop! Mirna will guide you through some key questions that will help you go deeper into what path you want to take. This workshop will give you tools to move your ideas into actions. I highly recommend it!”
Anna Danes, Ricaris CEO, Spain
“I’m happy to have participated to the Life Design workshop. Despite not being a new topic for me, it helped to actually push me to dedicate time to myself to make sure I’m on track towards my life goals. The framework we used allows to clarify thoughts by answering questions as in input and providing an action plan as on output.”
Francesco Portoso, Technical Account Manager, Luxembourg
“In January I was part of the workshop Life Design. I was at a point in my life where I needed some guidance in how to find a new job that fit with what I really want in life. Mirna and the workshop were a great help in that search.”
Thari Codrington, Coach, The Netherlands
“Workshop with Mirna was fun, exciting and very eye-opening. The techniques and exercises were concrete and helpful in giving directions on what to focus – whether it was finding out what you want to do and/or changes you want or need to make in order to boost your career and career goals.
The most important thing was the group atmosphere that Mirna managed to provide where everyone felt comfortable to pitch in with their experiences and questions. What you can expect from Mirna’s workshop is how to ask the right questions for yourself and your career, exercises on how to assess your current status and a guide on what to focus in the future to further develop your field of interest.
I would recommend this workshop as an excellent incentive to start, change or further develop your career.”
Marin Futač, Brand Operations Manager, Croatia
“I attended two workshops with Mirna that were absolutely worth it. In both of them, she made sure to understand the audience to tailor the content to our needs.
She created the perfect atmosphere: On the one hand, a safe and even fun space where we could self-reflect and have enriching discussions. On the other hand, a dynamic space where we would not get stuck in overthinking so we could focus on action.
We walked out with at least an actionable step, plenty of interesting tips and with amazing energy! Highly recommend it!”
Laura Betancort, Translator and Interpreter, Spain
“I’ve done my share of reflection exercises in various settings. So I expected a few new insights now, too — but I did not expect to be engaged, active and excited during an online evening workshop in the winter darkness.
What made the difference is Mirna’s unique style, energetic facilitation and well thought-out structure. I’m grateful to you for bringing the ongoing chaos in my head together into one clear and coherent vision.”
Eszter Boros, Trainer & Career Development Coach, Hungary/Germany
“I loved participating in the Life Design workshop! Mirna is great at what she does and she can guide you effectively throughout the process. I was at a point where I had too much stuff going on and perhaps too many new ideas coming. This workshop helped me create some clarity and figure out what are the most important things for me and where I should be focusing. The Life Design workshop certainly helps you see the bigger picture -which is not something that you can easily see when you are lost in your everyday routine- and make your plans in a clear structured way that is bound to be efficient in the long run.”
Xanthoula Georgiou, student of psychology, The Netherlands/Greece
“When the Life Design workshop took place, I was at the crossroads of my student life – finishing up university and thinking about what to do next. So, for me, this workshop couldn’t have come at a better time! It really got me thinking about where I’m at and where I want to go. It was a reflexive experience that inspired me to think what I really want for myself, deep down.
And honestly, after the workshop, I felt like some weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Without even realizing it, I stumbled upon the direction in which I want to head in. Of course I don’t have the answers to all of my questions, but at least now I have an idea of what I would like my future to look like :)”
Adrijana Saric, student of psychology, The Netherlands/Croatia
“I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Happiness Academy’s Life Design Workshop led by Mirna.
I am a junior in college, and next year will be filled with important decisions about where to take my life next. Mirna’s workshop helped me both understand where I want to go after college and start making a concrete plan to get there.
I would absolutely recommend the workshop to anybody who is even thinking about making some life changes. Thank you Mirna!”
Reed Pryor, student of psychology at Harvard University, USA
