Before You Decide: Using Small Experiments to Find Your Direction

Most of us are being asked to step into something unfamiliar right now. A role that did not exist a year ago. A team being rebuilt around tools no one has quite figured out yet. A job whose boundaries keep moving. 

There is plenty of advice about how to make the right decision. There is a lot less about how to move when you do not know the answer yet.

Victor Saad founded Experience Institute after spending a year building his own alternative to graduate school — a Leap Year of apprenticeships and self-designed projects — and has spent the decade since building experiences for professionals and organizations.

In this session you will apply his sequence of exposure, access, action and reflection to a transition you are actually in rather than one you are contemplating, alongside a room of peers doing the same. You will leave having designed one experiment you can start this week: a specific conversation to have, a small thing to try. By the end of the month you will know something about your direction that no amount of further thinking would have told you.
