You might be in one of two camps at this time of year:
You might be thinking ‘I'm struggling to get to the end of the year so I can't even think about 2024’.
You might also be thinking ‘I don't just want to have another 2023 - I want something completely different!’
Or you might be feeling both - life so confusing!
If you want to move from directionless to purposeful and make 2024 better in whatever way or shape that might look like then I’m excited to announce the following program dates for next year.

What is Design Your Life on Purpose?
So you might be wondering ‘what is this design your life on purpose quest’ and what does that mean?
The Design Your Life on Purpose quest has been developed over 10 years using elements from my own research. The inspiration for the program came when I left a gig that was quite demoralizing and I knew I needed a shake-up.
I've tested it not only on myself but also on on coaching clients to make sure everything works perfectly. At the end of the program you'll end up crafting a strategic life map which will give you a guide for the next 12 months.
The 4 Adventures
REFLECTION REVOLUTION:
This is about conducting a review of the last 12 months and looking at what has worked and what could do with a tweak. Different templates generate different thinking. Generally, this leaves people a little disturbed, ready to work out what to do next.
It is called a revolution, because reflection is something people do not spend a lot of time on, in the instant gratification world. However, reflecting will allow you to see past the now and immediate and determine if you see a trend, or help steer you in a different direction. You need to be really quiet to hear what your heart desires. This creates a kind of “As Is” view of your life right now.
DREAM QUEST:
Remember when you were a child and you were encouraged to dream, explore your mind and be really curious. Slowly this skill gets overtaken by responsibility, standardised tests and trying to fit into society’s moulds. But, how can you design a life that you truly desire, if you do not spend time in a dreaming state – otherwise what are you designing a life towards?
Dreamers are the ones that make the impossible, seem completely doable. Your dreaming might not do that initially, but it will open your mind and unearth possibilities you can them explore further. Dreaming allows you to preview an alternative future and is rather critical to designing your life. The dream portion, starts to build that “To Be” version of your life.
Once we have a big juicy list of dreams to pursue we need to design an actual plan, a Strategic Life Map for the year ahead, in 2 stages.
DIRECTIONAL DESIGN:
You now know what is not so right about now, but know what you want to retain and you have a sense of where your dreams are. Then let’s get into action! The designing stage is where the rubber hits the road, this is where you take the first 2 stages and literally map out what you will do in the coming year.
This is where you start to plot out the year ahead and what can happen when, catering for all the BIG’s that also happen in your life, birthdays, anniversaries etc. Sounds simple? It requires some decision making on what to focus on and what to defer to another year. We take into consideration the BIG’s that are also happening in people’s lives, e.g. milestone events, finishing a course, big or little birthdays (all birthdays are important, the number that makes them big or little, but always significant).
This is where the bulk of the Strategic Life Map takes shape.
ANCHORING:
We have a design now, so we are almost there. Now we concentrate on what will set you up for success. What are the support mechanisms you can put in place that will mean you are more likely to achieve your dreams? What items will help anchor you to your strategic life map and help you make decisions and refocus, when life happens.
What processes and habits can you put in place to prevent slip ups or to assist with success?
