Designing YOU - resources

Designing YOU is all about you. It's not just a book - it's a process, and it's for the you of today and the you of tomorrow. Designing YOU is about viewing yourself and your life more strategically. It's about designing a road map for making decisions big and small - a road map that helps you address the relentless questions about your future you're probably getting right now.

Designing YOU - Life Beyond Your Grades, is written by Mount Royal's David J. Finch, Associate Professor - Marketing, and Ray DePaul, Director - Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. A copy is available to view in Career Services' resource centre, or download a copy of Designing YOU for free.

Listen to the Designing YOU - Life Beyond Your Grades podcasts - a 5-part series which follow the real-life journeys of professionals from different fields and backgrounds who defined and followed their dreams.
