👟 Sidestep
​Why Sidestep?
​Robot Olympics. Climate roulette. Politics by meme.Â
The agents are off the leash...
​The future will not be supervised.
​The old deal of hard work in return for predictable rewards is looking shakier than a dodgy supermarket trolley.
​Welcome to the 'messy middle'.
Some say it’s a crisis. We say it’s an opportunity.
​Don’t let a good crisis go to waste!
​Who is it for?
​Are you a curious professional keen to escape ‘default mode' and carve out a richer life on your own terms?
​Maybe you’re itching to switch lanes, launch a business, or build more autonomy over your career?
​We’re a mix of people across design, government, creative and beyond who are seizing this moment
to reset and find ‘our thing’.
​We share experiences, tools and perspectives to help each other push forward.
​Anything from how to…
​Rise above the noise and get clear on what you really want (not what you think you ought to want)
​Leapfrog into a new career space or build a portfolio career
​Take a meaningful career sabbatical without having an existential crisis
​What’s this first night about?
​Learn how others are making sense of this moment, untangling their next move in life both personally and professionally.
​We’ll explore things like:
​What are the challenges of this era and what unique opportunities does it open up?
​How can we seize this moment to thrive, not just survive?
​What different ‘plays’ and paths people are shaping in lives to move forward despite the uncertainty
​What’s the vibe?
​Like a night round your mate's house if she curated a bunch of interesting strangers.
​A guided space to share experiences, hunches and early ideas over drinks.
​We’ll bring some provocations to get us into the ‘meat’ of the moment - the stories, tactics and points of view.
​There'll be a first drink and some snacks on us.
​Leave with some new angles, like minded connections, perhaps a clearer sense of your next move.
​P.S No decks. No phones. No Multi Level Marketing.
