Meine Erfahrungen in Umstiegsprozessen zeigen: Gute Jobideen allein reichen nicht. Wir müssen sie auch umsetzen. Die meisten Umstiegspläne scheitern am Schreibtisch - am Übergang von Denken und Handeln. Das ist auch die Beobachtung von Prof. Dr. Sebastian Kernbach, Gründer vom Life Design Lab an der Universität St. Gallen. Aber warum ist das so? Sebastian hat dazu eine Umfrage durchgeführt und 7 Gründe herausgefunden, die uns davon abhalten, unsere Pläne in die Tat umzusetzen. Die Forschung macht Hoffnung: Es gibt Mittel und Methoden, um diese Gründe zu überwinden. Wie genau, das besprechen wir ins Podcast! In dieser Podcast-Folge erfährst du

We talk with former Electronic Arts co-founder and VP Dave Evans. Dave is now the co-founder of Stanford University's Life Design Lab. He is also the author of the New York Times #1 Bestseller “Designing Your Life,” about how design-thinking enables us to take up our role as co-creators with God. Design-thinking is now globally recognized as a powerful tool for innovation. And it's especially helpful for solving “wicked problems,” the kind of problems that don't readily lend themselves to easy answers with questions or spreadsheets. But how can Christ-centered innovators and entrepreneurs think about designing their lives and endeavors while following the will of God? In this episode, Dave tackles sovereignty and free will, the scandal of particularity, and how the word evangelism was first introduced in a business context. 

Wir werden immer älter und wir bleiben immer länger fit – dennoch ist es keine Seltenheit, dass 50- und sogar 40-Jährige Personen behaupten, sie seien für bestimmte Dinge nunmal einfach zu alt – zu alt etwas zu verändern, die Richtung zu wechseln oder einen beruflichen Traum zu verwirklichen. Sebastian Kernbach ist Professor an der Universität St. Gallen und behauptet, das liege gar nicht am Alter, sondern daran, dass uns die Haltung und Denkweisen für Veränderung irgendwann abhanden gehen. Wir haben Sebastian darüber gesprochen, wie wir die Methode Life Design nutzen können, um unsere phantastisch langen Leben erfüllend zu gestalten.

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Dr. Sebastian Kernbach, Autor und Professor an der Universität St. Gallen, wo er auch das Life Design Lab leitet. Sebastian erzählt uns, was genau es mit Design Thinking und Life Design auf sich hat, wie wir zum Denken ins Handeln kommen und was wir gegen Aufschieben, Ablenkung und Überforderung tun können. Ein Interview vollgepackt mit spannenden Einblicken aus Wissenschaft & Praxis. Ganz viel Spaß beim Anhören.

This episode of Main Street Moxie with Kathy Davies explores design thinking as a method for moxie. Life design is a way to get unstuck in your life by ratcheting up the curiosity, creating opportunities for incremental action, and understanding your life is a process that involves collaborating with others. There is a "team" in "I"! It also reframes failure into opportunities to learn. Oh, and did we say it's super fun? What's not to love?!Kathy is the Managing Director of the Life Design Lab at Stanford University. She leads a team of Fellows who teach the popular courses Life Design Courses to hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students each year. Her team has trained 258 universities globally to use the life design processes on their campuses and will reach more than 300 schools by the end of 2022. Kathy founded and leads the DYL Consulting business, and beyond Stanford consults with universities and tech companies to bring product design tools and life design practices to their teamsShe spent the first 20 years of her career as an engineer in Silicon Valley, leading technical projects and teams.  She has earned five patents through her ideation and technical problem solving. While working as an engineer, Kathy began to teach Product Design at Stanford. She later joined Stanford full-time as a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering and Fellow at the Life Design Lab. Kathy's focus shifted from the use of design thinking as purely a product development tool to its use in human thriving. While she has used her engineering and teaching to build products and change lives, she uses design thinking and life design to build a better world.This episode of Main Stree Moxie is sponsored by Hammertown and North East Ford.

Herzlich willkommen liebe Zuhörerinnen und Zuhörer zu einer neuen Paperwings Podcastfolge: Heute geht es um das Thema: „ Was ist Life Design“ Als Kreativitätexperten habe ich den Autoren Prof. Dr. Sebastian Kernbach eingeladen. Assistenz-Professor für Krea.vität und Design am MCM Institut für Medien- und Kommunikaionsmanagement, an der Universität St. Gallen, Visiting Fellow Stanford University, und Gründer und Leiter des Life Design Labs. Prof. Dr. Sebastian Kernbach gründete 2018 das Life Design Lab an der Universität St. Gallen, nachdem er von einem Forschungs- und Lehraufenthalt an der Stanford University zurückgekehrte, wo er neben seiner Lehr- und Forschungstätigkeit im Bereich Kreativität u.a mit Prof. Bill Burnett und seinem Team in „Design Your Life“ zusammenarbeitete und in ihrer Methode geschult wurde. Seitdem hat Sebastian Kernbach zusammen mit Martin Eppler das Life-Loops- Modell, Life Design Prinzipien, Methoden und Workshops entwickelt, um Einzelpersonen, Gruppen und Organisationen dabei zu unterstützen, mehr von sich selbst in ihr Leben zu bringen. Sie haben die Entwicklung von Konzepten und Workshops mit unseren Forschungsarbeiten kombiniert, um die Vorteile unseres Ansatzes aufzuzeigen und mit Organisationen und Stiftungen zusammenzuarbeiten, um der Gesellschaft Life Design im Einklang mit dem Motto der Universität St. Gallen „Wissen schafft Wirkung“ bzw. „from insight to impact“ zu bringen. Zum Buch: Life-Design-Actionbook Kreativität, Neugierde und Initiative kultivieren. Vom Denken ins Handeln kommen, um die Zukunft proaktiv zu gestalten Ideen sind da, gute Vorsätze auch, aber wie den Intention-Action-Gap überwinden? Gerade in einer Welt unbeschränkter Ablenkungen braucht es manchmal den freundlichen Tritt in den Hintern, die Prokrastination zu beenden. Hier setzt das Buch an mit verschiedenen ACTION-Taktiken zur Überwindung der eigenen Trägheit, Verzettelung oder Mutlosigkeit, um vom Denken und Reden wirklich ins Handeln und Machen zu kommen. In visuellen Vorlagen werden die sieben cleveren ACTION-Strategien lebendig und inspirieren zum Loslegen. Zusätzlich stellen die Autoren eine 30-Tage-Life-Design-Challenge als Kick-Start und ein 90-Tage-Programmfür Life-Designer zum Starten und Dranbleiben zur Verfügung.

For most people the ingredients that go into a satisfying life are mysterious. Certainly career and relationships play a big role but they don't always go as planned which makes satisfaction and happiness mercurial. Bill Burnett, Executive Director of the Design Program at Stanford, founder of Stanford's Life Design Lab, and co-author of two best selling books Designing Your Life and Designing Your Work Life, thinks of life as a design problem that can be prototyped and iterated upon using design thinking. Maybe you're the type of person who already has a life plan. Congrats, you're a rare breed. The problem with most life plans is that our pathway in life is ever changing. How do we plan for the unexpected? In our conversation with Bill he helps us see that change in life is a feature, not a bug. It creates opportunities for incremental improvements and growth. After a historic year of transformation we are all well positioned to rethink life and design something new for ourselves with clarity of convictions and a recognition of what's real. Bill's approach to life design will help you get started in your own process. Show notes and transcript: https://reconsidering.org/episodes/1

In the wake of a worldwide pandemic and economic catastrophe, many of our friends and colleagues in the world of digital product design are fortunate to have kept their jobs, but there have also been many who were not so lucky. We thought it would be timely to bring in an expert who has been using a designer’s mindset to help people reframe their approach to their careers. Bill Burnett, co-author of the bestselling book Designing Your Life, has written a new book called Designing Your Work Life. Bill has been the executive director of the design program at Stanford for 13 years and has also taught one of the most popular elective classes there (which his first book was named from). He and his co-author Dave Evans have taken what they have learned from teaching and running workshops for adults in the midst of a career or life transition to come up with a framework for using tools like curiosity, reframing, radical collaboration, and a bias to action to transform your work life and find the best job for you. In this interview,  we speak with Bill about how adopting a designer’s mindset can help you through your current challenges if you’re searching for work. We also chat about how grit and perseverance maps to happiness at work, and how setting aside time for reflection can help you understand what changes you need to make to find a better job (which may even be in your current company).  Takeaways: How setting micro-goals can help you achieve positive change at work. Why you might think about redesigning and iterating on your role at your current company if you’re unhappy. What the idea of “generative quitting” is, and why asking the question “What am I doing wrong?” might be a good idea before you decide to quit. Bio Bill Burnett is the co-author of the NYT Best-seller Designing Your Life. He’s also co-director of the Life Design Lab at Stanford University. He’s a designer, educator, and an Adjunct Professor at Stanford University. He’s also the Executive Director of the Design Program where he manages the undergraduate and graduate degree-granting programs and advises 70 -100 students annually.

“I’m not trying to save the planet, I’m trying to save our species as humans. Even if we continue on the path we’re on, the planet will still be here. We just won’t be able to survive her any longer.” This was the comment that this week’s guest uttered to me as she walked me out of her beautiful, sustainably-built. LEED certified home after we recorded this week’s episode. Talk about impactful. Melissa Rappaport Schifman is a sustainability expert and the author of the book Building a Sustainable Home: Practical Green Design Choices for Your Health, Wealth, and Soul. This week’s episode was so impactful for me in so many ways. Our discussion about sustainability made me feel hopeful that there are things we can do to save our environment and ensure that it continues to be a place that humans can live and thrive. Even beyond that, we had an incredible discussion about how we derive our self-value when you stop using your job title or salary to do so. This discussion happens toward the end of her episode, and it is so powerful. I hope you’ll check it out. I can’t wait for you to meet Melissa Rappaport Schifman!

When was the last time you were immersed in your work, a task, a hobby, a something, and time seemed to stand still? You know that feeling. The feeling of FLOW, when you feel like you could do something forever, simply because it brings you so much joy. This week, you’re going to meet a woman who went on an intentional quest to find FLOW, and now she’s sharing what she learned with the world in her new book: Kindle Your Flow Eva Payne is the founder of Project Kindle, a non-profit organization that supports kids who are infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS. After building that organization, she found herself at a crossroads when her marriage ended.

That’s when the idea for Color Flow Life came to her, and she has been running with it ever since. In Eva’s interview, we talk about how important it is to SOCIETY for all of us to live in a state of flow as often as possible and how we need to give ourselves permission to be completely authentic.
