ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Dr. Amy Cabrera Rasmussen has as her guest today Shanice Webb, a learning experience designer, facilitator, community builder, and founder of Transcend Thought, who bridges ambition and wellbeing through sustainable, aligned success.
Webb shares her early entrepreneurial instincts, first formal job as a teen, and how Stanford’s Life Design Lab helped prepare her for full-time entrepreneurship.
She explains learning experience design as a practice of creating play-based, hands-on environments that support curiosity and varied learning styles.
We get a glimpse of this form of good work via an example of Webb's facilitation of a design-thinking workshop for Stanford’s Center for Just Environmental Futures, including a puzzle activity that made clear the need for collaboration on complex problems like climate justice.
The two reflect on imposter syndrome, creating safe spaces, saying no for sustainability's sake, and suggest ways to utilize active engagement and the ikigai framework. Webb also shares the adult "play dates” she designed as part of her work in the Bay Area.
