Schedule Day 03

The Temple of Time

Welcome to a sacred space where we step back from the day-to-day rush and examine the deeper questions that shape our careers and lives. This is where we explore the timeless wisdom that transcends trends and technologies, focusing on the fundamental truths about building a sustainable creative life.

The Great Research Reset

Kate Towsey

Kate is challenging fundamental assumptions about research operations, moving far beyond the traditional support role. This session explores how to transform research from a perceived cost center into a strategic value driver through operational thinking. Expect insights on repositioning research operations as a critical business function, redefining research's value proposition, and ensuring research teams don't just survive budget scrutiny but become essential drivers of organizational success.

Going Solo: The Business of Becoming Yourself

Ricardo Brito

What happens when you strip away the safety net of employment and face the mirror of entrepreneurship? This isn't another "how to freelance" talk - it's an honest examination of what it really takes to build something meaningful on your own terms. Discover why some people thrive in the uncertainty of solo work while others crumble, and it has nothing to do with business skills. Prepare for a conversation about the inner work that no one talks about but everyone needs to do.

You Don't Need a Job to Have a Career

Lena Kul

What if the traditional path isn't broken - it's just not the only path? When rejection becomes routine and applications disappear into void, some designers make a radical choice: they stop playing by other people's rules. This session reveals the stories of those who carved their own way forward and the mindset shifts that made it possible. Sometimes the best career move is the one that doesn't look like a career move at all.

In The Temple of Time, we don't just learn skills - we examine the beliefs and choices that shape our entire approach to work and life.
