Out of Office, Into Yourself

About this video
Description
As designers, many of us are trained to solve problems, iterate to perfection and "live" a brand we work for. Fulfillment is a concept we often associate with success: the more accomplished we are, the more fulfilled we should feel. When our identity is entirely fused with our output, burnout shifts from being a risk to being almost inevitable.
In this session, we will redefine what fulfillment actually means. Drawing on principles rooted in coaching, we’ll explore the pillars of fulfillment: not as a reward for hard work, but as a prerequisite for a generative and creative life. We’ll dive into the messy, necessary process of decoupling human value from vocational identity.
Attendees will leave with a new framework for honouring a "Life Purpose" (the big-picture who) over your "Job Description" (the temporary what).
Key Takeaways:
• The Identity Audit: Identifying the "Saboteurs" who tell us we’re only as good as our last project.
• The Fulfillment Formula: Using a Co-Active approach to align our daily actions with our core values.
• Boundary Design: Practical ways to create "psychological distance" from our work to fuel deeper creativity.
