What to Expect

Dream Lab is a career planning and self-discovery program.

Built around 12 core principles and a framework called The Donnellan Method, Dream Lab guides you to learn from your Past, make peace with the Present, and dream about possibilities for your Future.

One client describes the program as: "A unique combination of spiritual and pragmatic. The self-discovery process is gentle, but it also helped me make real progress every week."
