RMV 31 Gabrielle Santa-Donato: The Quiet Power of Grace

When Gabrielle Santa-Donato said, “we need to be intentional about this transition”, she wasn’t talking about virtual workshops or exploring a workshop challenge.She was talking about creating a post-pandemic world.We’ve grown used to adjusting – to remote work, to lockdowns, to loss.

That alone is a worth a podcast episode, but so is her fascinating experience at the Stanford Life Design Lab.This episode is a wonderful walk-through Gabrielle’s career, where we are now, and what we can all do to redesign our lives in trying times.Find out about: Why showing up as your authentic self isn’t always the best thing for your workshopsWhat life design is and Gabrielle’s fascinating journey in the fieldWhy reframing our constraints can open up a world of possibilityHow to know when to prototype beyond your comfort zone and when to take smaller stepsHow Gabrielle has shifted from teaching and facilitating life design to facilitating Airbnb’s managersHow we could workshop our transition out of the pandemic Don’t miss the next show: Subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.Click here to download the free 1-page summaryA huge thank you must go to SessionLab, the sponsor of Workshops Work.
