In this hands-on session, global education leaders will use practical Life Design tools to assess how their current professional and personal roles, responsibilities, and rhythms impact energy, focus, and engagement. Participants will map what is energizing versus draining across work and life, and identify small, testable changes that support sustainable leadership and well-being.

Leadership competencies: self-awareness, resilience, adaptive leadership, well-being in complex systems.
