Start your adventure

Do you ask yourself questions like...

  • I've just finished school and expected to decide my entire future already??!!
  • What is there left to be discovered in life?
  • I don't yet know what I'm really interested in and what I really enjoy. How can I find out?
  • I don't want to commit to a lifelong path right now!
  • Should I study, take a language course, take a gap year, or do an internship? I have lots of ideas but can't decide.

 Then Design Your Future is just what you need!

  • CLARITY: Through targeted questions and a structured process, we'll uncover your personal interests, values, and goals—and explore how to integrate them into your life plans.
  •  IDEATION: We'll brainstorm and get creative, finding ways to bring MORE of you into your life and future.
  •  ACTION: By creating small experiments—called prototypes—you can test your ideas in real life and gain clarity.
  • NEXT STEPS: Together, we'll organize your ideas and define actionable steps. Planning becomes fun and empowering!

Why & When:


Design Your Future is tailored for young individuals—like high school graduates or university students—pondering questions such as:


  • What's next?
  • Which field of study should I choose?
  • Is a language exchange a good idea?
  • Should I take a gap year? Where? What value will it add to my future?


Based on the innovative Design Thinking methodology, we focus on generating solutions and developing creative ideas. And that's exactly what we do!


We think BIG and provide space to generate numerous ideas—including the wild ones.


Why?


Because it stimulates our brains and ignites creativity. This isn't just about a method; it's about adopting a GROWTH MINDSET—believing that focusing on growth, learning, and experiences propels us forward.


Sometimes, major decisions like choosing a study path or career can feel overwhelming. But not with Design Your Future!


We delve deep to evaluate what brings you joy, what drives you, what makes you unique, your interests, and the values that define you.



Once you've discovered your essence and direction, it's time for action! Through small experiments—prototypes—you'll craft plans, define next steps, and swiftly move into action. It's all about gaining insights and experiences.

DESIGN YOUR FUTURE

Life Design for Young People

  • Why & When

    Design your Future is life design aimed at young people, such as high school graduates or students, who ask themselves questions such as:

What you get

  • Analysis of your individual wishes and challenges

    We pay special attention to this step. Where do you want to go? What do you want to bring MORE of into your life? We'll figure it out together!

  • Generating ideas - more is sometimes better

    Once we know what you want MORE of, we discover creative options and ideas. The luxury of "Think Big" is paramount here, because it's about your very individual life path.

  • Prototyping - making the wish come true - out into the world - moving from thinking to action

    Prototypes are nothing more than (small) experiments. This tried-and-tested method focuses primarily on one thing: implementation. Because an idea alone isn't enough—it must also be implemented! That's why we'll work together to figure out how you can get started as quickly and as fun as possible. It's always amazing how easy it can be! And how much fun it can be.

  • Feedback - Learn - Move on

    In Design Your FUture, there are no failures or mistakes—there are only feedback and learnings. Because from the respective experiments, you learn what works for you and what doesn't.

Design Your Future

And why I think this is a cool thing...


My name is Ursula Santner, and I'll tell you briefly why I created Design Your Future...


As a mother of two young people, I know the challenges not only from the parents' perspective, but also from their point of view through discussions with my kids.

You learn a lot at school, but not really how to listen to yourself and explore what is important to you as a person and how you can use that to plan your future life and career.

There are so many options and it can seem overwhelming.


With my experience and training as a Life Design Coach at the University of St. Gallen and as a ZRM® (Zurich Resource Model) trainer, I will guide you through the process. Together, we'll discover WHO you are and WHAT you want. We'll develop ideas for how you can make your future life, your studies, or whatever it may be, more valuable. I'll show you how to quickly implement small, low-risk experiments (so-called prototypes) and have a lot of fun doing it!


Prepare to bring MORE of yourself into your life. It's time to write your own story.


Be there - bring MORE of yourself into life!

I'm ready for the adventure!

You've come to the right place if...

you want to bring MORE of yourself into your life and want to experience how easy it can be.

you really want to take some time to think about your future and you don't currently know where the path should lead.

you can't decide right now and want to lay out your options

you want to discover what treasures and adventures still lie within you and what the next steps could look like.

you wonder why renowned universities such as Stanford University and St. Gallen University of Applied Sciences are concerned with the topic of life design.

you are annoyed that people around you constantly ask you what your future plans are.

Yes, I want that!

Voices from my customers...

"Honestly, I never would have imagined how much this coaching could achieve! After just three hours, it was clear to me that I wanted to do an internship after graduating from high school – and that fits perfectly with my desire to study later. Uschi helped me create a plan and get started. In less than a week, I created a fantastic resume and a cover letter that truly fit me. I've already applied for over ten internships – and it's hard to believe I've already received my first interview invitation! After the coaching, I'm totally motivated and really excited about what lies ahead. And the best part: My parents are relieved that I finally have a plan 😉."
