Reclaim Your Time With Sami Toussi '11
Thu 1/29 • 12PM PST
Zoom
Many people are entering 2026 already feeling behind. Between rapid advances in AI, a fluctuating job market and economic uncertainty, it is easy to feel reactive. Days get filled responding to what is urgent, leaving little time to step back, reflect and intentionally decide what matters most. This interactive session is designed for those who have not yet had the time or mental bandwidth to properly reflect, set goals or create a clear plan for the year ahead and do not want another year running on autopilot. Rather than a traditional webinar, this session is an immersive working experience using career coach Sami Toussi's trademarked RPP framework (Reflect, Plan, Prioritize). Participants will actively work through guided exercises using fillable workbooks provided during the session. This session is especially valuable for those who feel capable but stretched, unfocused and ready to take back ownership of their time and direction.

Introducing U.C. President James B. Milliken: UC and the Future of Higher Education
Thu 1/29 • 6PM PST
110 The Embarcadero • San Francisco
Introducing U.C. President James B. Milliken After five scientists affiliated with the University of California recently won Nobel prizes, U.C. President James B. Milliken said it was a testament not just to U.C. but “the long-standing partnership between our federal government and our universities, and our country’s ability to attract the best and brightest from around the world.” But today, he says, funding cuts are threatening this tradition and the future of innovation, which has produced breakthroughs like disease cures, cell phones, and the internet; meanwhile, irrational immigration policies will affect university efforts to attract top talent. These pressures sharpen the need for broad consensus and collaboration reaffirming the public value of higher education. Milliken took office as the 22nd president of U.C. in August and oversees a system comprised of 10 campuses, six medical schools, three national laboratories, and more than 300,000 students. One of his central priorities is protecting U.C.’s “singular legacy” while advancing the university during a transformative moment for higher education. Milliken, who has three decades of experience serving in leadership roles at large institutions, came to U.C. from the University of Texas System, where he served as chancellor from 2018–2025. Despite the challenges facing higher education, he remains hopeful. “Our nation’s colleges and universities are the greatest engines of social and economic mobility the world has ever seen,” he says. He joins Commonwealth Club World Affairs to talk about his vision for the university and his top priorities.

You’ll walk away with clear ideas and practical action steps to create a life that feels grounded, enjoyable, and fulfilling—at work and beyond.
