Why do you do what you do?

It’s clear that the pandemic year has upended how we view work and our place in it. The revolution in where, when, and even why we work has been taking place for decades. The new cover of Harvard Business Review features the ‘Work From Anywhere Future.’

The time to ride this tidal wave is now.

The next SHAPE of WORK Program starts April 5th, 2021.

What Is It?

THE SHAPE of WORK Program is a one-of-a-kind experience to help you discover meaning, find freedom, and do your very best work. It’s based on my bestselling book SHAPERS: Reinvent the Way You Work and Change the Future.

With a diverse group of Shapers, in this program you will explore how to:

✔ Shift from having a job to a practice of work
✔ Get energized by what you do
✔ Address and silence those damn saboteurs
✔ Unlock your own creative currency
✔ Find new and alternative ways to design your career

You will dive deep into six themes:

Exploration

Take a deep dive to create that meaning that you crave. Meaning can be found in your current work environment or by making a change to connect with something that pumps you up. Learn to become energized instead of depleted by the end of the day. Discover and personalize methods for directing your energy to design an enriching working life.

Shaping

Examine your inner drive, how you got here, and where you’re heading. Take the time to really consider the motivation for your career moves. Pause, reflect, and re-focus with a new perspective on career design and job crafting. Hear stories about those who have built different paths and live every day with boundless freedom.

Versatility

Explore how versatility and a wide span of projects and skills can make you more valuable for any career move. Mix and match work and play into a seamless lifestyle that fuels you, while combining your volunteer work, artistic interests, professional projects, and passions into one forward-moving work practice. Create, grow, and find your tribes to make a big impact.

Action

Identify alternative career styles like freelancing, gigging, remote working, location independence, being a slashie, and the leading practices for launching a portfolio career. Experiment with different career styles to see what works for you and refine your independent productivity to keep yourself moving.

Essence

Flow. Break out of the prism that holds you back and begin to move in the world as the person you truly are. Align and connect with your deeper self and learn to take meaningful action. Appreciate the dynamic between your inner resources and your creative currency and then craft your personal brand in a way that captivates people.

Becoming

Cultivate your creative practice and build a system around work that keeps you focused, motivated, and challenged for the long run. Adapt, fail, change, grow, and show up consistently until you “become” the person you are meant to be. Continue to build communities and support systems that will be part of your growth.

The reality is that anyone can become a shaper.
