Guy Kawasaki: UC San Diego Presents a Keynote on Reinvention

UC San Diego Division of Extended Studies proudly launches UC Your Future, a bold new lifelong learning initiative designed to ignite possibility, strengthen resilience, and empower individuals to shape the next chapter of their lives with intention and creativity.

To mark this milestone, we welcome Guy Kawasaki, one of the most influential voices in modern innovation and personal reinvention. A New York Times–bestselling author, chief evangelist of Canva, and legendary Apple fellow, Kawasaki has inspired millions through his work at the forefront of technology, entrepreneurship, and human-centered leadership.

Drawing from his acclaimed new book, , Kawasaki takes the stage for a dynamic keynote on navigating change with courage, clarity, and purpose. His blend of humor, candor, and hard-won life lessons offers a masterclass in reinvention—perfect for anyone ready to write their story forward.

Guiding the conversation is Rebecca Smith, distinguished educator, community catalyst, and lead architect of UC Your Future. Smith brings decades of experience supporting students of all generations through transition and transformation, making her the ideal moderator for this timely, inspiring dialogue.
