Are you energy challenged? Would you like to explore a process to put more balance into your life?
Plan now to participate in this unique, practical working session and leave with a finished prototype you can immediately put to use.
Every year, we at Advantage Performance Group like to present a special, complimentary event for our colleagues and friends that's beyond the scope of our usual business – something that we believe will enrich your life.
This year, we're delighted to be able to share a 90-minute virtual workshop with Susan Burnett, a former C-level talent and marketing executive at companies including Yahoo!, Gap, Deloitte and others, who is now CEO of Designing Your Life Consulting as well as a non-profit leader and startup advisor. We also know Susan through her executive role with our thought leader partners at 1st90.
Susan will lead us through a 90-minute design-thinking journey on balance and energy that includes design practice, breakouts for collaboration and feedback, and an action plan for next steps as you design your own new prototype for balancing the flow of energy in your life.
Through virtual and in-person workshops and coaching, Designing Your Life (DYL) Consulting empowers people around the world to use the life design thinking process, tools and mindsets to design future possibilities for their lives and careers, especially when things change.
That process incudes The Life Design Framework©, applying the design thinking process in order to make a product design process relevant to life design. This framework was made popular by the books Designing Your Life and Designing Your Work Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans.
Their mission and solutions are a relevant and timely response to the unique post-pandemic realities of today's workplace and life's challenges.

What clients have to say
- “I shared my workview and heard what work meant to my colleagues, and I learned so much about why we all work and the impact we want to make. I’ve worked with these people for a while now and never had this deep a conversation before. It was eye opening to see how much people who are so different have in common.” – Participant from an agriculture company who completed an in person 1.5 day “Designing Your Life” offsite.

And I learned more about what I’m looking for in my work and career." – Participant from a government lab who completed a 3-hour “Designing Your Compass” virtual workshop.

The Workview conversation got me back to the contributions I want to make and why I’m here.” – Participant from a financial organization who completed “Designing Your Job for Increased Satisfaction” workshop.

Loved the breakout conversations.” – Participant from a media company who completed “Designing Balance and Energy for Optimal Performance.”
