CCEI Career & Life Design Center

Design Your Life. Lead Your Future.

Your future doesn’t happen by chance. It happens by design.

At the Chartered Culture and Education Institute (CCEI), we believe every student, professional, and leader deserves a proven pathway to create a meaningful career and life. That’s why we built the Career & Life Design Center, a global hub where you can access transformative programs, world-class coaching, and a supportive community that helps you design the future you truly want.

“Life design is at the heart of why CCEI exists - empowering students and professionals to align values, goals, and actions. Through our programs, we help people shape purposeful futures with resilience, innovation, and global impact.”

Vasif Eyvazzade

CEO and Board Chair of the CCEI

The History of Life Design

Life Design began at Stanford University’s d.school in the mid-2000s. Professors Bill Burnett and Dave Evans realized that design thinking, the same methodology behind groundbreaking innovations could also help people design better lives. Their Designing Your Life course became one of Stanford’s most popular, spreading worldwide through the Stanford Life Design Lab and the bestselling book.

Today, Life Design is practiced globally. But until now, it has always existed separately from other essential growth frameworks like design thinking and leadership development.

CCEI’s Breakthrough: A World First

For the first time ever, CCEI has combined three powerful approaches into one integrated model:

Career & Life Design — to map your skills, values, and future pathways.
Design Thinking — to solve problems creatively and collaboratively.
Creative & Adaptive Leadership — to lead with resilience, agility, and innovation.

This unique fusion ensures you don’t just plan your future—you design it, test it, and lead it with courage. No other institution has brought these three together in a single framework until now.

Why Life Design Matters Today?

Too many people drift into jobs and routines that don’t reflect who they really are. They wait for opportunities and end up feeling stuck. But here’s the truth: you are the architect of your own journey.

Life Design equips you to:

Align your work with your values
Turn setbacks into experiments, not failures
Build confidence in decisions
Create opportunities instead of waiting for them
Live with purpose and resilience

When your Workview (beliefs about work) and Lifeview (beliefs about fulfillment) align, they become your compass. And with design thinking and adaptive leadership added, your compass turns into a full navigation system for the future.
