This workshop teaches a powerful, do-it-yourself approach to professional development—no expensive coaching or major life changes required.

Led by Dr. Daniel Davis, a sociology professor and career researcher, the session walks you through three evidence-based tools:

1. VIA Character Strengths,

2. A Time & Energy Task Audit, and

3. AI brainstorming using ChatGPT.

You'll learn to apply the concept of job crafting—editing your tasks, relationships, and mindset—to bring more meaning, energy, and fulfillment into your current role. With the help of structured reflection and personalized AI prompts, you'll leave with a set of small, practical steps you can start using immediately to redesign your workweek around what energizes you most.

Whether you’re a student, staff member, or early-career professional, this workshop gives you the tools to evolve in your role instead of feeling stuck in it.
