BE CURIOUS LIVE FEATURING BILL BURNETT

The quiet question

You did what you were supposed to do.

You studied.

You worked hard.

You made sensible decisions.

From the outside, it looks steady.

But somewhere along the way, the question started surfacing…

Is this it?

You’re not in a crisis.

You’re functioning.

You’re capable.

But something feels slightly misaligned.

Not wrong.

Just… off.

If that question has been sitting quietly in the background,

this conversation is for you.

Design, not drift

Most of us assume meaning appears once we achieve enough. But what if meaning isn’t something you find? It’s something you design.

Bill Burnett has spent decades helping people rethink how they approach work, identity, and purpose. Instead of chasing certainty, he teaches a different approach:

Test small changes instead of making drastic moves

Prototype new directions instead of waiting for clarity.

Replace pressure with curiosity.

You don’t need to blow up your life to redesign it.

You just need better questions.

Meet

Bill Burnett

Bill Burnett is the Executive Director of the Stanford Life Design Lab and co-author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Designing Your Life.

A former Apple product designer, Bill now teaches one of Stanford’s most popular courses on applying design thinking to life and career decisions.

His work has been adopted in over 570 universities worldwide and has influenced leaders, founders, and professionals across industries.

But this evening isn’t a lecture.

It’s a live, unedited conversation about how meaning is built and how it can be rebuilt.

Why experience this live?

"The questions were incredibly thought-provoking. I left with a much clearer sense of the steps I need to take.”

Terence C.

This evening includes:

  • A live Be Curious conversation with Bill Burnett

  • An interactive Q&A where you can ask your own questions

  • An intimate audience of 100 thoughtful attendees

  • A social gathering after the conversation to continue the dialogue

This is not:

  • a workshop.

  • a seminar.

  • a motivational rally.

It’s a serious conversation for people willing to examine the lives they’re building.

What you'll explore

INTELLECTUAL EXPLORATION

  • Why achievement doesn’t always equal fulfillment.

  • How meaning is constructed and not discovered.

  • Why drifting happens even to capable people.

PRACTICAL TOOLS

  • How to redesign your life without drastic upheaval.

  • How to test new directions safely.

  • How to move forward without needing full certainty.

EMOTIONAL AWAKENING

  • How to confront misalignment honestly.

  • How to reconnect with curiosity.

  • How to take responsibility for your next chapter.

The room

The room matters.

The people in it matter.

And the questions you bring matter.

INTIMATE GATHERING LIMITED TO 100 SEATS

The conversation will be recorded live as part of the Be Curious series.

After the stage lights dim, the evening continues, giving you space to reflect, connect, and speak with others who are asking similar questions.

A global movement

Designing Your Life became a #1 New York Times bestseller and has been translated into multiple languages worldwide.

The Life Design framework has been taught at over 570 universities and institutions globally.

Thousands have used it to rethink their careers, relationships, and next chapters, not by chasing certainty, but by designing possibility.

This conversation brings that work into a live, human setting.
