John Cabot University Entrepreneurship

🚀 Empowering Future Leaders through Life Design

On August 28-29, the Frank J. Guarini School of Business hosted the Life Design Workshop in collaboration with The Ideas Lab, a company that specializes in design thinking, innovation, and life design training.
This initiative provided incoming students with a unique opportunity to map out their academic and personal journey using the life design approach. But what are we talking about?
Life design is a way to find one’s own path by treating life and career as a experiment, by:

🎯 Setting long-term
💡 Doing

After some hands-on activities that allowed participants to find like-minded peers and to connect their aspirations with John Cabot University's offering, students were invited to commit to specific, actionable objectives for the semester.

We warmly thank Professor Silvia Carnini Pulino for her welcome introduction, Alessia Anniballo, Founder of The Ideas Lab, and Experience Design Expert and JCU Marketing Professor Tanja Lanza.
