[Navigating the Grey Conference] Dave Evans, Author of Designing Your Life

Navigating the Grey ("NTG") is an annual student-led ethics conference at Chicago Booth, born out of the Great Recession in recognition of our responsibilities as future leaders. Every year, we invite prominent representatives of the private and social sectors so that they can share with us pivotal moments in their lives, and the principles which underline their ability to lead with integrity and impact. This year's conference theme is 'Enduring Foundations: Thriving in Times of Uncertainty to create more positive social impact in our lives, careers and communities.

Our goal is to inspire audience members to define their own compass of values, and think consciously about how we will live out those values in the face of inevitable "grey areas" in our personal and professional lives. How will we not just survive these grey areas, but thrive in them?

Our speaker, Dave Evans joined the Stanford Design Program in 2007 where he co-founded the Stanford Life Design Lab that teaches the popular Designing Your Life courses. Dave's passion is to help people apply the innovative principles of design thinking to the wicked problem of designing their lives. Dave is actively pursuing that mission on three fronts: higher education, the marketplace, and the church. Dave has been a thought leader in the faith-and-work movement for four decades and a mentor with Praxis, a venture-building ecosystem with a redemptive imagination, supporting founders, funders, and innovators motivated by their faith to address the major issues of our time.

Dave holds his BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford and his diploma in Contemplative Spirituality from San Francisco Theological Seminary. Dave returned to Stanford following 30+ years of executive leadership and management consulting in high technology. He product managed the first mouse and early laser printing projects at Apple, was a co-founder of Electronic Arts, and has consulted dozens of startups and major corporations. His NYT #1 bestseller, Designing Your Life, released in Fall 2016.
