A High-Impact Workshop That Helps Young Adults Design a Fulfilling Future...

...and Helps Families Have Better Conversations About It

A practical, engaging session for parents and young adults navigating careers, the future of work, and life by design.

Lets have a virtual coffee to explore if this fits your learning calendar

The Challenge You’re Solving

As a Learning Chair, you’re expected to deliver programming that is:

Relevant across generations

Engaging for NextGen and reassuring for parents

Practical, not theoretical

Aligned with the realities of today’s world of work

At the same time, career conversations have become harder.

Young adults are facing more choice, more uncertainty, and more pressure.  Parents want to support them – but often feel unsure how.

This creates tension, confusion, and missed opportunities for meaningful dialogue.  Your role is to create an experience that cuts through that – and actually helps.

The Real Problem

Most career sessions fall into one of two traps:

Too abstract to be useful

Too prescriptive to be realistic

They either overwhelm young adults with options or push outdated definitions of success, which results in:

  • Low engagement
  • Polite applause
  • Very little change afterwards

What’s missing is a shared framework that helps both generations think clearly – together

Figuring Out Your Future

Without Panicking Your Parents!

Helping the Next Generation Design a Fulfilling and Rewarding Life by Design

The future of work has changed, but unfortunately – most career advice hasn’t.

Careers are no longer linear.

Jobs are evolving faster than education systems.

And young adults are expected to make “big life decisions” in a world that didn’t exist when their parents were starting out.

No wonder families feel pressure, confusion, and – occasionally – panic.

This workshop is designed to replace uncertainty with clarity, and pressure with better conversations for parents and their young adult children.

Stephen's mission is to make the world a better place with happy people in fulfilling, rewarding careers!

What this workshop is really about

This is not about picking a job title.

And it’s definitely not about forcing young adults into a predefined path.

It’s about:

Understanding how the future of work is really changing

Giving families a shared language to talk about careers and life without tension

Helping young adults discover what they’re naturally suited to

Designing a future by intention, not by default

This session creates clarity, confidence, and momentum – for both generations.

What's in it for the Next Generation?

Young adults leave this workshop with:

  • A clear understanding of how work, careers, and success are evolving
  • Insight into their interests, strengths, and preferences
  • A practical framework to explore career options that genuinely fit them
  • Permission to move forward without having everything figured out
  • Confidence to make decisions – and change direction – without feeling like they’ve failed

Most importantly, they leave knowing:

There isn’t one “right” path – but there is a right path for them.

What's in it for Parents?

Parents leave with:

  • Reassurance about how the world of work has changed – and what hasn’t
  • A clearer understanding of how careers are built today
  • Relief from the pressure of having to “have the answers”
  • Tools to support their children without projecting their own fears or expectations
  • Better conversations at home – fewer arguments, more understanding

This workshop helps parents move from:

“Are they making the right decision?
to
“They’re thinking clearly and intentionally – and I trust that.”

Stephen’s HAPPY session was a great success with our team, it was both inspiring and actionable.

Stephen’s engaging style that brings both vulnerability and humour made the talk memorable and deeply relevant for anyone seeking fulfilment alongside professional achievement.

What we cover in the sesion

The workshop weaves together three core areas:

What’s the Future of Work?

A clear, grounded look at how work is changing – without hype or fear-mongering.

Finding Your IDEAL Career

Helping young adults understand the intersection of what they’re good at, what they enjoy, and what the world actually needs.

The HAPPY Work Life MAP

A practical framework for designing a fulfilling and rewarding life – one that balances success, happiness, contribution, and growth.

This isn't theory - it's clarity people can actually use

Why this matters now

The biggest risk for young people today isn’t choosing the wrong career.

It’s drifting into a future that was never consciously chosen.

This workshop gives families:

  • Clarity before commitment
  • Confidence before pressure
  • And a shared understanding of what a “good future” really looks like

That’s what allows people to build lives – and careers – by design.
