Design Your Work with Sharon Lipovsky, Founder at Point Road Studios

Sharon Lipovsky kicked off the Design Your Work series with key distinctions for how to think about the way we work. We can’t change what we don’t see and these distinctions are there to help you gain greater awareness about the way you work and what else is possible. She then moves to share a process for how to go from where you are to where you want to be. She shares the building blocks of the Design Yourself Method and how this applies to the way we work. We discuss everything from vision setting to simplifying to storytelling to presence and present action. Questions surface around things like imposter syndrome, how to get around fear holding us in place and what body practices can support us in taking aligned actions.

If you are looking for a proven process for how to let go of what’s holding you back and embrace something better, this class is for you.

Design Your Work with Alx Block, Trust & Safety at Automattic

In this conversation Alx Block shares his remarkable career progression. One marked by data-driven problem solving, diverse visions for how things can always be better and a willingness to learn how to get there. Alx is humble, reflective and insightful. You will hear about how he went from selling books to book publishing. How he saw a gap in his organization and taught himself the skills to do the thing no one else wanted to do – and did it. How he made a measured leap to start and run his own business. How the business gave him so many things he wanted – like, freedom to work on his own terms and a great living that supported his family. And how he made the difficult but completely right decision to shut the business down and work for Automattic, an organization he has proudly supported for many years now.

If you are looking for inspiration on how to create a meaningful work experience on your own terms, look no further. Alx has got you.

What do I want to learn?
