3-Day Intensive
An Answer to: “What Should I Do With My Life?” We all want lives of meaning and authenticity—lives that make us feel alive. But how do we actually find them?
Enter Becoming You
A ground-breaking career and life-planning methodology developed by Dr. Suzy Welch, award-winning professor at the NYU Stern School of Business and Director of the Initiative on Purpose and Flourishing.
For 15 years, Becoming You has been taught exclusively inside NYU Stern to MBAs and executives. Now, for the first time, Suzy Welch is offering a public, accelerated three-day version of her acclaimed course.
Why Becoming You?
We live in a world of complexity, noise, and constant change. People feel overwhelmed by choice, disconnected from their core, and uncertain about the future.
- Excavate your values (the non-negotiables that animate your choices).
- Identify your aptitudes (the innate gifts and cognitive strengths you were wired with).
- Surface your economically viable interests (industries, roles, and opportunities that both excite you and sustain you).
Where these three intersect lies your Area of Transcendence (AOT)—your personal compass for life and career. As Suzy says:
“Your Area of Transcendence is the right-fitting, soul-filling, and enlivening destination of the beautiful, messy, complex, and precious journey we call life.”
This isn’t about quick hacks or generic personality typing. It’s a rigorous methodology that has guided thousands of people—from MBAs to CEOs to retirees—to clarity and alignment.
Move your audience beyond inspiration.

Inside the 3-Day Intensive
The program is structured as a 21-hour immersion into the Becoming You methodology. Each day builds on the last, guiding you step by step toward your AOT.
Day Day One | October 17, 2025
Values Excavation
Question:
What values shape the decisions I make?
- Work through six proprietary exercises designed to surface your “values DNA.”
- Identify which values are core, which are peripheral, and which are in conflict.
- Complete The Values Bridge, Suzy Welch’s psychometric tool validated through NYU research.
- Leave with a structured profile of your values and a new language for self-understanding.
Why this matters:
Most people don’t know their values, or live out of alignment with them. Day One ensures you finally do.
Day Day Two | October 18, 2025
Aptitudes Identification
Question:
What am I naturally wired to be good at?
- Take scientifically validated assessments, all included in tuition:
- YouScience (cognitive aptitude mapping)
- PIE360 (feedback tool)
- Career Traits Compass (leadership traits assessment)
- Enneagram (personality insight)
- Receive a full report of your aptitudes and strengths.
- Connect aptitudes to possible career paths and work roles.
Why this matters:
We often build careers around trained skills, not innate aptitudes. This day clarifies the difference.
Day Day Three | October 19, 2025
Industry & Megatrend Survey + AOT Roadmap
Question:
What roles and industries call to me emotionally and intellectually?
- Explore emerging industries and megatrends where opportunity is accelerating.
- Use the Holland Bridge tool to match aptitudes + values to industries and roles.
- Create, pressure-test, and refine your Area of Transcendence roadmap.
- Work in small groups and receive direct feedback from Suzy Welch herself.
Why this matters:
Without identifying your AOT, life feels like wandering. Day Three ensures you leave with a compass and a plan.
