Success is more than achieving outlined goals. Success also includes serendipity.
The Surface Area of Serendipity “... is the surface area you’ve laid out for yourself to increase the odds of opportunities or encounters with interesting, value-adding people and for serendipitous or ‘lucky’ events to happen.” - Matthew Barton
We've all set goals, tried our best and taken our shots. But that's only one way to achieve your dreams. What about all those chance encounters or invitations that you never saw coming? Can you prepare for those?
In this course, you'll set goals and design your surface area of serendipity for 2026. Let's see what you can cook up!
As a coach and founder of Plucky, I work with clients every day on tracking their career stories, navigating change, advocating for themselves and imagining new ways forward.
I'm thrilled to invite you to take a day of big dreaming for yourself!
In this course, you will:
- Reserve a day for your dreaming.
- Reflect on, remember and break down the twists and turns of 2025.
- Define your relationship with: your family & friends, your body, your work and your spiritual self.
- Set some specific 2026 goals (with deadlines and details).
- Recall serendipitous moments in your life. Are there patterns? How do you experience chance?
- Examine and set up your healthiest inputs for the upcoming year.
- Set up a calendar for 2026 events, travel and timelines.
- Plan your 2026 word of the year.
- Watch Jen Dary's supportive coaching videos to bring the day to life.
- Access bonus resource materials.
- Listen to a super-motivating Spotify playlist. Awww yeah.

It's one day.
To complete this course, you'll set aside one day during December 2025 or January 2026 to complete the Day of Big Dreaming workbook, accompanied by videos with Jen.
Serendipity required.
You'll make plans and then surprises (good and bad!) will show up. Let's plan for all cases. Think about it as project managing your life and setting loose your dreams for the upcoming year.
