The inner design work: confronting and overcoming stress and uncertainty
Uncertainty and fear aren’t going anywhere—but our relationship to them can change.
In this talk, coach and design leader Shawna Hein shares TRACE, a framework for staying grounded and clear when everything around you feels unpredictable.
Through real stories and guided reflection, she’ll explore how to let go of fear, center yourself in what’s actually happening, remember your strengths, and open yourself up to future possibilities.
