What if the same principles used to design innovative products could be applied to the way we live?
Join Cresset Founder and Co-Chairman Eric Becker for a conversation with Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, New York Times bestselling authors and co-founders of the Stanford Life Design Lab. Together, they explore how design thinking can serve as a powerful framework for navigating life’s most important questions.
For decades, Bill and Dave have helped individuals and organizations approach work, relationships, and personal growth with greater creativity and clarity. Their Designing Your Life methodology invites a shift away from linear planning toward a more dynamic process rooted in curiosity, experimentation, and reflection.
Together, we’ll explore the ideas and practices that shape a more intentional life, including:
- Reframing uncertainty as an opportunity for exploration and growth
- Approaching decisions through small experiments rather than fixed outcomes
- Redefining failure as a tool for learning and forward momentum
- Building daily habits that foster engagement, energy, and a sense of meaning
Whether you are exploring a new chapter or refining an existing path, this session offers a grounded, human approach to shaping a life that feels both meaningful and well-lived.
