Magic can be found at the intersection of dreaming and doing. Imagine an opportunity where before and after don’t look or feel the same, and where your future looks different than it did when you arrived.
Imagine a day-long retreat where you walk away realizing you knew more than you thought, and you learned more than you expected.
Imagine an experience where you learned, celebrated, and connected with women who share your experience and dreams for what’s possible.
We are creating a program where the magic happens, and we want you to join us! Reconnect with your authentic self and design the future you want to live. You’ll be surrounded by women sharing this refresh and refocus experience. Prioritize dedicated time to focus on what you deserve to honor your life and career.
“Attending Future by Design was truly an empowering and catalytic experience. We took the Clifton Strengths assessment, and the accuracy of the results were spot on and provided me with so much insight into why I’ve made certain choices in the past and where I’d like to go moving forward. It was an incredibly validating exercise! ”
This extraordinary journey will empower you to:
● Design your future in a safe space with the clarity to move forward.
● Explore your authenticity to honor your values and find increased fulfillment.
● Harness the power of your strengths to maximize your energy and do what you love.
● Craft your personalized go-forward plan to put your learnings into practice.
● Tap into your unique talents to increase your confidence and professional presence.
This collaborative effort is designed and facilitated by certified executive coaches, Jenny Henderson and Caroline Dowd-Higgins who are passionate about equipping women for success in life and career.
“The Future by Design workshop provided a powerful environment with strong, intelligent and professional like minded woman. I personally benefited from the guided discussions around challenges and experiences within the workplace, work life balance, navigating careers at different stages of life and so much more. It was a full day workshop where I could be selfish in a positive way and focus on me, my needs, and what I hope to get out of my career. I would recommend this workshop over and over again!”

“The Future by Design event was a remarkable experience, offering a perfect blend of professional development and personal growth opportunities.
Jenny and Caroline are pros and handled every detail seamlessly, from the pre-event information and on-site schedule to the post-event follow-ups. The environment they cultivated was friendly, motivating, and most importantly, authentic. They circled back to WHY this is important, consistently ensuring the audience captured the most value from the day.
I’d recommend the experience for anyone interested in growing their personal and professional networks, gaining new perspectives, and leaning into self-discovery – The Gallup CliftonStrengths Assessment is such a fun and enlightening exercise.
We all get too bogged down in D2D responsibilities/details. Setting aside time to clear your head, breathe, listen, and learn in a welcoming environment is incredibly valuable.”
