Korshub's take

Career planning through design thinking means starting with empathy for yourself—your strengths, motivations, and what's holding you back—then building a flexible action plan. This class, from an innovation expert, teaches the mindset and gives you worksheets to work through right away.

Three downloadable worksheets guide your self-assessment, situational analysis (who are your key stakeholders?), and strategic action planning (what skills and traits do you want to develop?). The class is entirely customizable: whether you're starting out, pivoting, or seeking intentionality about your next move, the framework adapts. The result is a plan that plays to your unique experience, not a generic template.
