Origins – how did this start?

This could be called – How did I get here? Or way funner – Origins – like X Files Origins. 

The how did I get here – relates to the Designing Your Life On Purpose course.   

It all began way back when, I left a really horrible gig with a horrible client.  I felt it kind of eroding my self-esteem, even my sense of self-worth, I'm sure many people can relate.  I just I wasn't the same person when I was on that gig and I really needed to take the time to sort through my thinking of what it is that I actually wanted to do.  

 

Was I even good at this?  Was this the sort of stuff that I wanted to do?   

To investigate what I should do, the real analysis, I looked around to see what was out on the market.   That would help me answer the question - What could I possibly do? What course could I take? What activity could I do?  There was kind of nothing there.  There's a few more things now, but back then, 7 or so years ago, there was nothing to solve my specific problem.  

So, I started experimenting. I said to myself – self – let’s take charge and start trying a few different things to see if you can sort this out yourself.   To see if I could determine what, how and where I want my life to go.  I gleaned little activities from all sorts of different places.   They came from a book, a conference, from something I overheard, it could come from a story or an article in a magazine.  I was not quite sure what I was looking for, so all the pieces of information were helpful.    There was definitely no “do this and you will design your life better”. It was more like a random concept and I would go – self what is the application of this theory – where do you think it could apply? 

  

Some of them worked and some of them didn't.   Luckily I was experimenting on myself, so no animals, children, or fully fledged adults was harmed in the making of the program.  It was me trying things out.  Throughout I realised that some things were really helpful and some things were so not helpful.  The things were not helpful got jettisoned, flicked away.  The things that were helpful started to create a framework, a process about how you do this. 

Then as my education, my self-learning evolved, I realised that I was getting clearer and clearer about what that framework was and each year I was getting better and better at actually getting what I wanted out of life - heading towards the things that I want to focus on.  

I kept investing in myself looking for ways, methods and techniques.   One course that was helpful, with loads of really helpful information – in fact because of that course I become an author. Not a bad outcome. 

  

The book I wrote was called (is called – you can still get it, I have a few, so let me know). The book is called Working Your Mojo, entrepreneurial thinking for musicians.  

I tell people that the book was an abject failure, and it is.  Totally wrong audience and not the book I should have written. 

I learnt stacks through that process and many elements of the book are part of Design your Life on Purpose, plus I'm an author now, so that's nothing to sneeze at, Yay me!   

Fast forward and what worked on myself, I also started using when coaching people or in my Organisational Change Management practice.  Then some girlfriends suggested that thing you do every year and plan out your next year, to do all these amazing things, can I get that too. 

This was a real “Hang on a second” moment – this thing that I have been doing year after year to create a better life for me, other people like me might want that too – is this THE ONE (the one business idea I have been searching for through my whole life of unrelenting standards)  

Who knows – but I love it and I know it really helps people, as it already had when I share aspects of it. 

  

Ok challenge accepted universe – let’s see what this would look like if you guided people on designing their lives.   So I then started working out how that might look like and what would work with what to create a program. 

Of course, I decided to do this in 2020 when we were all in lockdown we didn't know what Coronavirus 19 was going to do to us.  I am glad go started because while it didn't turn out exactly as I wanted, was going to do it in May and we're all in lockdown in Australia at that time.  What I ended up doing was taking that time to do like a little mini pilot and finding out how that could work.  

 

That pilot is part of the design your life program - called Reflection Revolution.   I learned so much from taking that step and then the next step. 

So now I'm running the Design Your Life On Purpose Course and other programs, plus program for corporates.   It is actually working out exactly as I planned.   So literally I'm Designing My Life and showing people how to design their lives, Yay! 

  

I love it when a plan comes together.

Hands up who wants an ‘AND’ career and not an ‘OR’ career

Let’s explore the 6 reasons why having more than 1 career at the time can be ace

In the work that I do with professionals, I am seeing people wanting to pursue two careers at once, rather than sequentially (#oldschool). You can be a snail trainer and a hairdresser, a real estate agent and a professional knife thrower. The people I work with are looking for the ‘and’ and no longer the ‘or’, when it comes to their career.

What is normal really? 

What we expected was the “norm” was flipped on its head when we hit Covid 19.  You can be a productive member of an organisation and work from home.  What?  You can live in a location that is removed from the head office and still get a lot done.  No Way!   

 

Explore safely 

If you are considering investigating a different career, the logical and safe bet is to do this while you are gainfully employed.  You do not throw away what you need to sustain your family and wellbeing, while you pursue something you are unsure about.  You can test the waters.  Yes, you can do this as a side hustle, but there will come a time when it needs to move into something more than nights and weekends, but will still require care and feeding. 

Maintaining both is a great way to confirm it works.  Plus, there is this thing called rest.  I have learnt it is super important, so allow your employees to have hybrid careers, means they will bring the best of themselves to the office (actually work, as the office is hybrid now), rested and ready to go. 

 

Different gigs satisfy different needs 

Why can you not do both?  If you get value out of them both in different ways, why do we need to do one or the other.   It does not make sense to me.  I love working with corporates on large scale changes, they are complicated, tricky and super exciting.  But, I equally love working with individuals and small teams and business on helping them navigate and plan change to create a desirable future. 

As long as both are aware of how they will be supported and when, why can I not do both? 

 

Fully formed humans, with ambitions and dreams are good for organisations 

For an organisation, if you want fully formed humans to be working for you then, they come with ambitions and dreams that might not line up completely with you and your organisation. Why would you lose that talent? 

 

Build skills in creativity and problem solving 

Pursuing something you are unsure of will require some creativity and problem-solving skills, stretching you.  I am pretty sure those skills are what every organisation, wants as well.  Creativity and innovation come from the edges and not the fully formed middle.  Bringing those skills back to an organisation will be invaluable for the individual and the organisation. 

 

Future Proofing 

Finally, future proofing.  If you look back at the history of business, there is always disruption.  A business or a whole industry will disappear, when something different comes along.  In recent memory; taxis disrupted by uber, hotels by Airbnb, music distribution companies by streaming services, retail by instagram & online shopping, credit card companies by afterpay, corporate office buildings by hybrid working.  A real democratisation is happening, so future proofing your career will help ensure you have a career, when your industry is disrupted. 

 

So, what does this mean for you?

Just because everyone is going one way, you can choose to go an entirely different direction.  I want you to do the thing you have been avoiding, thinking it was not right or odd.  It is doable.  Ignore the naysayers and go do your thing.

How to not let a major life event define you?

Here is something about me I don’t often share with people. 

I have had breast cancer three times, if you include once in each breast and then the double mastectomy and reconstruction. 

 

I don’t share it, not because I am embarrassed or trying to avoid sympathy. I don't share because I think this is the least interesting thing about me.  I do not want to be defined by having breast cancer, or in fact any of my medical issues (Ankylosing Spondylitis). 

It is important not to diminish the journey that myself and others that have been through.  Mine was very treatable and I am very thankful for the great outcome I have had through my treatment.  It is not a trivial matter at all and can be extremely devastating for many people and their families.   

 When people find out, they generally ask two questions: 

  • Are you going to slow down now? 

  • Was this the inspiration for Design Your Life on Purpose? 

These are good, sensible questions.  The answer to both those question is no. 

The catalyst for Design Your Life on Purpose started well over 10 years ago, when I left a truly horrible gig and wondered if that was really what I wanted to do with my life.

For me, my cancer diagnosis made me want to accelerate my plans, not slow them down.  I felt a more compelling reason to get cracking.  Of course, this did not happen straight away, as I needed to heal and manage the normal day to day while going through treatment.

Firstly, and most importantly, if a major life event has happened to you, it is important take whatever time you need.  Take as long as you need and do what you need to get you through this time.  Overcoming a diagnosis like this is an incredible thing, as even hearing the word cancer, certainly throws you off balance.

If you already have a Strategic Life Map, then work out if there is anything you can do now or whether you need to defer everything.  There is no shame in deferring, as you have enough to deal with right now.  I find items such as planning or researching can be achieved in very small increments of time.  Having something to look forward to can also be helpful, even if the time when it occurs is not defined.

If you don’t have a Strategic Life Map, I encourage you to get acquainted with the 2 Superpowers of Reflection Revolution and Dream Quest (insert link).  Take it easy, as it might trigger unwanted feelings, especially if your prognosis is less favourable.  Recording how you are feeling day to day in a journal will help get those thoughts and feelings out of your head.  I also encourage you to write all the things you are grateful for, it could be as simple as clean sheets or grilled cheese on toast. 

When you are ready and back on the road to recovery.  Take some time to reflect on your past life and what areas for improvement you might make with Reflection Revolution.  Then start to explore what your life could be through Dream Quest.  Both steps are essential for you to create a Strategic Life Map and to Design your Life on Purpose. 

Once you know where you are heading, you can start by taking small safe bets.  Each step will inform the next one and open up plenty of possibilities for you.  Be kind to yourself along the way, as no-one needs the ‘critical hag’ (or whatever you call that inner critic) at a time like this. 

 

I must admit this has been one of the hardest posts to write.  I am very conscious of not wanting to make people feel their circumstances are insignificant compared to my personal experience.  Balancing with the fact that even something as super scary as cancer, can help drive you forward to a future of your heart’s desire.   

My intention is to offer advice and encouragement, without judgement.  I hope that was achieved.  I have felt compelled to write this for a while and am glad to be able to talk about it.   

My last treatment was in 2017.  I am hanging out for the 5 year mark to be given the final all clear.  I am hesitant to say that because the last time I got to 4 years, they found another lump, hence bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction. 

The major life event does not have to be a negative one, having a baby, one of the most joyful moments in life, is life changing.  (There you go unrelenting sense of positivity)

So, why am I telling you this?

Regardless of what is happening in your life, the choice if yours.  The choice as to what attitude to adopt, the choice as to what action to take, the choice to decide if this defines you or does not. 

Good and bad things happen every day.  You are in the driver’s seat of your life, and you can decide what it will mean for you, or whether it means something or not.

Why hindsight is 20/20 and how the real world works

Like anyone, I get really inspired by people’s “this is how I made it stories”.  I find them really interesting and engaging to watch the hero move away from zero and toward success they can be proud of (hero). 

The trick though, is it is not a “recipe” or a “formula”. Their personalities, technology, worlds view and situation will all be very different to yours so you cannot follow it step by step and get the same results. 

 

The interesting thing, if we ask them to predict their next 6 steps in their career and business, I bet they would struggle to tell you the first one or two.  I am not being critical, as I would struggle as well.  Plus, Covid 19 has definitely shown us that is it super hard to predict what will happen next. 

When you look backwards, you can see the connections, the steps that led from this to that.  The reason there is a saying about hindsight having 20/20 vision is because it all seems clear and logical when you look back.  The decisions have already been made and connections and steps on the path are very clear.  However, when they were standing at a cross road and deciding to go one way or another, they could not see what one way would produce and what it would not. 

 So, what do you do instead? 

What you do is take one step forward, using a Strategic Life Map you have designed that suits you and your circumstances.  Think of it like entering a car park with environmentally friendly lighting.  You take your first step forward and some lights come on, you take another step and more lights come on.  Change direction and a different set of lights comes on. Designing your life is exactly like that.  You take one step forward in the area/s you want to work on and another step will be revealed. 

What you talking about? 

Let me demonstrate with my story.  I left a particularly horrid change gig in a poisonous organisation and spent the best part of 3 months staring at the television, trying to process my thoughts.  I should have left after 6 months not 2 years later.  In fact, they did me a favour, not that I knew it at the time. 

It was then that the Design your Life on Journey started, but I only realised that when I drew my “how did I get here” journey.  When I looked back at how this all started and realised, oh it started there. 

I started a side hustle called Yellow & Co (design business eg t-shirts) when I was at the above horrid gig.  It was a chance to indulge my love of merch, which I learnt a stack out of as part of the process.  I still design loads of stuff, patterns for dressmaking, jewellery, and furniture, all go into my design book. 

 

Side Hustle number 2 - Ideas Coach

I am very good at generating ideas and helping people see differently about circumstances and next steps, - so Ideas Coach made sense.  There were fabulous elements to this as well, including my Idea Café, like eHarmony for entrepreneurs and services that can help them.  It almost became a Vivid workshop; except I did not have any executional evidence to back my fabulous idea.  I still learnt a lot and apply some of the principle I established for Design your Life. 

A course here and there meant that I niched to Musicians and you know what, I authored a book – Working Your Mojo for Musicians.  While the few musicians I worked with loved it, it was not the right market for me, despite the fact I am also obsessed with music.

So where to from here… 

A few more courses and navel gazing. 

You know what I am exceptional at - Change.  Every year I create a Strategic Life Map of what I am going to focus on personally, and professionally.  This has been going on for around 10 years, where I have created tools and templates and processes that I know work, because I have tried them on myself, and people I coached or worked with in Corporate gigs, over and over. 

 

But Design your Life is more than a plan, it is a curated experience.  If I had not done Yellow and Co, I would not know how to get the best merch, If I had not started Ideas Coach, I would not have experience at generating ideas at pace and volume.  If I had not of written a book for the wrong audience, with some right content, I would not have worked out how to do Design your Life. 

Looking back all the steps are connected and make sense, when I started on each path, there was no connection and no grand plan, just a Strategic Life Map for the next year and what I was keen to explore.   

So, what does this mean for you? 

Don't waste time doing all the crazy research I did, as I have done it for you.  Let me guide you on a wholistic Strategic Life Map that suits you and only you perfectly.

Who Says? You need to focus on deficits and not strengths

Who says? 

It might be my extreme positivity (I have been measured and I am 98% optimist and 99% happy), but I choose to look at the world from a strengths-based lens, rather than a deficit.


‘Existing wisdom’ is that we need to concentrate on what we do poorly and work on how we get better at it.  I have had many performance improvement discussions in my career, where they told me to focus on x, even if I am really crap at it.  Baffling! 

Thankfully, there is evidence that this will not generate high performance and frankly can lead people to believe there is something wrong with them.  Different people have different talents and these talents will show up in different ways.  If this was not the case we would not have different people performing different roles.  People are successful using the talents and skills they innately have.  That is why we have accountants and artists, boiler makers and ballet dancers, because we are not homogenous beings. 

 My experience with strengths is relatively new, but fits very well with my view of the world.  The research and rigour applied by Cliftons/Gallup is an impressive way to evidence my world view. 

Gallup/Clifton’s (who measure everything that moves) research shows that people who know and use their Clifton Strengths are: 

  • more engaged at work 

  • more productive in their roles 

  • happier and healthier

However, my reason for loving it, is it helps people make sense of themselves in a way that allows them to apply their strengths regardless of their role.  It helps you appreciate how and when you succeed and how to repeat the circumstances that will make that happen more often.   

It has helped me create the Design your Life on Purpose program, using my top 5 strengths: 

Positivity 

My infectious enthusiasm, helps people unearth what is possible and then believe it is possible 

Strategic 

Helps me create different plans and approaches to get to the outcomes, and help them quickly decide what is going to work best for them 

Futuristic 

Helps paint a picture of what the future could be for them and helps me create a picture of what my future is 

Ideation 

Means I can quickly generate a bunch of ideas (quickly) that can help buffer against the roadblocks that can come up 

Relator 

Building deep enduring relationships means I can design an experience that is uplifting and unique, I am their partner in this for the long haul 

 

The same strengths, in a very similar way show up in designing Incahoots, into a whole different business model.  Where I will spend time working with teams to Strengthen their Strategy, applying their collective strengths on their yearly strategy.  I work with the Managers to create a curated experience for the team. 

 

So, what does this mean for you? 

Knowing your strengths will mean you have a more effective at designing your life on purpose - think of it as Strengthening your Strategic Life Map. 

Strength’s assessment and debrief (debrief – is essential to help understanding, connection and application) can fundamentally change the way you approach the dreams you have in place and will help you achieve them.

Who Says? I am too old

Age is not the barrier you might think it is, check out these more mature peeps, Ronni Kahn, Pete Murray, Jan Logan and Ita Buttrose.  These are just 4 people who did something “later” in life and have been very successful. 

Who says your crazy idea might not be exactly what the world needs?  Regardless of how young or old you are. 

 Today we look at 4 people that could have stopped, but in fact made a significant contribution “later” in life. 

 

Ronni Kahn is the founder of OZ Harvest (Australia’s largest Food rescue association) and started this at the age of 52.  I imagine her and all the people that they help (36,033,021 meals delivered in 2021) are glad she didn’t think she was too old.  She has changed an entire industry and in fact created a new one for food rescue and diverted 9,456,673 kgs from landfill. 

Pete Murray is a musician, and you might be thinking old, what the?  He became a serious musician into his thirties.  Shocking I know!  In an industry where if you haven’t had major success by mid to late 20s, you give up, this is unusual.  Pete only started learning guitar at 22, he didn't think he was too old, actually, he did.  He was convinced by other musos and has had 3 albums that have achieved Platinum status on the ARIA Charts (Australian Recording Industry Association) as a result.  

Jan Logan started her jewellery business at age 50.  She had her kids and decided she needed something else in her life (see this article about a country girl to design icon).  The designs are just divine and I often lust over them.  Thank goodness she didn't think she was too old. 

Finally, everyone’s favourite, Ita Buttrose.  A very formidable women, having worked in Magazines and Newspapers, when they were male chauvinistic bastions, Ita was invited and accepted the chair of the ABC at the age of 77.  She did not think she was too old. 

 

The above people ignored the people who said, “you are too old” and just went ahead and did it anyway.  The above are very public examples of the people who refused to let age be a barrier.  I am sure if you looked around you, you could find loads more.

So, what does this mean for you? 

Do not let age be a barrier to you.  I want you to do the thing you have been avoiding, thinking it was not right or odd.  You are not too old.  It is doable.  Ignore the naysayers and go do your thing.

Are you using these 2 super powers?

There are two super powers that I think are essential for life generally, but specifically for Designing Your Life on Purpose. 

They are reflection and dreaming. 

Or as I call them Reflection Revolution and Dream Quest, because apart from being way funner, talks more to the transformative power.

Why do you need both Reflection Revolution and Dream Quest? 

Each of them achieves different things, takes you to a different type of thinking, and has a different purpose associated with it.  Each has a different energy that it generates and you get different actions and outcomes depending which one you use. 

They achieve different things. 

Let talk about each in turn

Reflection Revolution 

Reflection Revolution is about looking into the past at things that might have happened.  Generally, you are looking for incremental improvements on things that have happened in the past.  For example, you might want to improve your sleep routine, by going to bed earlier. 

Reflection Revolution is also helpful to review or evaluate something.  You could be evaluating a situation that has happened, a mistake or an incident.  The structure allows you to look at what was good about the situation, as well as maybe what was not so good about it and work through what you would have done differently with your time again.  If you want to generate some change, it is very helpful to do a Reflection Revolution session as part of that process.  

Reflecting can make you feel a little bit uncomfortable with the status quo, so that you want to move.  It is designed to do exactly that make you feel uncomfortable so you make a change. 

Dream Quest 

Dream Quest is designed to be unbounded, unfiltered - just anything you could possibly ever think of.  It's meant to free your brain up to really explore what the future could be.  As a result of this freedom, its energy is very different. 

Because Dream Quest is future focused it means that you can look at things that could be or possibly might be.  The really important part about dreaming is that it provides direction, a future state to head towards. 

Be free and unbounded in your thinking, even the things that seem impossible.  Actually, especially the things that seem impossible, write them down and add them to your dreams list.  This is a case where the bigger the better - so go wild and capture every single thing that you have ever dreamed of. 

You could have some incremental improvements as a result of Reflection Revolution, but for what end, for what outcome.  Without dreaming you don't have a future state that you're heading towards.  That's the reason for doing the Dream Quest component of superpowers. 

The other thing to remember is it can be more than one dream.  You can and should have loads of dreams.  Some will be small dreams that will be able to be achieved in a very small amount of time and relatively quickly.  Some dreams require a longer build time for you to move towards step by step.  

This is a case of…

The more you dream, the more you dream

Combined the 2 Super Powers mean… 

Reflection Revolution will help you learn from the past, determining what you will do differently and then Dream Quest gives your direction and activity that will move you toward this future state you have dreamed up. 

Reflection Revolution and Dream Quest achieve different outcomes, and you need both to be too able to Design Your Life on Purpose.

How to get better at the superpowers? 

Thanks Christina, I now understand the two superpowers of Reflection Revolution and Dream Quest, so how do I get better at them? 

Glad you asked, lets walk through some techniques to assist with you getting super at using Super Powers. 

Reflection Revolution can be used periodically and daily. 

Periodically 

Use it to reflect on the last month, quarter, year etc as to what has worked well and what you would do differently if you had your time again. 

Daily 

Start or maintain a journal.  Reflect on the day, what was less than fabulous, and what are you super grateful for.  The cool thing is that by reflecting daily you will get better at the periodic reflection. 

Tips: 

  1. Be careful you don’t get too lost in the areas of improvement.  There absolutely will be things you are grateful for each time you reflect.  Don’t leave a reflection revolution session unless you have a minimum of 3 things to be grateful for 

  2. Use a paper journal to write your daily reflections.  It will minimise going over stuff in your mind and release it from your head.  I also recommend this for the periodic reflection as well.  I find act of writing it down is more impactful than typing it out. 

Dream Quest is best to do periodically and opportunistically 

Periodically 

Yearly or quarterly think about all the fabulous things you might want to add too you dreams list, answering questions, such as  

If you knew you could not fail, what would you do? 

If money education or age are inconsequential, what would you do? 

Opportunistically 

When a new dream emerges or you hear one from someone that you love add it to the dreams list. 

Here is where I go against my usual advice of writing down your dreams on paper.  I personally add them to a massive Evernote file, so I can add when inspiration strikes. 

 

So now you know more about the 2 superpowers of reflection revolution and dream quest and how to build them into your routines to build your expertise.  You are welcome 

 

So, what does this mean for you? 

The two super powers are especially important for Designing Your Life on Purpose, as they both provide critical input into your Strategic Life Map.  They allow you to unearth possibilities and explore what might be.  

Here is what you need to know about Design Your Life Program: 

 

  • Workshop part of program on Saturday 23rd July

All the information is here, including the magical registration button. 

What exactly is a Strategic Life Map?

My mind has a habit of running forward, part of the combination of futuristic and strategic strengths (see Gallup/Clifton’s Strengths).  As a result of this, I sometimes forget to let people know some of the fundamentals of my thinking. 

I thought it was time I explained, what exactly is a Strategic Life Map! 

A Strategic Life Map creates direction & therefore clarity 

 

The purpose behind a Strategic Life Map is to provide general direction.  It provides you with an outcome, an intention, a destination to arrive at, hopefully.  I say hopefully not to be flippant or to discourage you, but as a reminder that you might not end up where you intended.  Decisions create diversions on the path, you might get back to the destination or completely recalibrate where you are heading.  Often where you end up is way better than predicted, which has been my experience. 

By deciding on the direction, some things will fall away. 

If I said we are going to travel somewhere for a few nights, you would want to know where.  Knowing where we are going would allow you to pack appropriately. 

Isn't life exciting!!! 

The path will be different 

Even if you are heading in exactly the same direction as someone else, your path will be different.  The decisions you make, the turns you choose to take or not take will turn different lights on, open up different options. 

Let’s say you decided to teach people how to train snails.  Deciding if you train online or face to face, is a choice that will open up other options and possibilities. The same will be for your Strategic Life Map.  Each decision you make, will still get you towards your destination, but via a different route. 

Each of these decisions will mean that you will arrive at a different place, the same direction and outcome but handled very differently. 

I like to think of this as going into a building with movement sensor lights.  You take one step and some lights come on.  You can then see what options are available to you.  Take another step in a different direction and different lights come on, with different options. 

It is not a turn by turn 

Often it adds more clarity to explain what something is not.   

A Strategic Life Map is not a turn by turn process for your next 12 months.  It cannot be.  Loads will happen during the year that is unpredictable, in both a good and a bad way. 

Curve balls will be thrown at you, that is life, and you will need to learn how you can still move in the direction despite the obstacles, or even to change the approach entirely.

But good things will also happen that will reveal your next step.  By not being a turn by turn, it will give you the chance to change direction, when you unearth something that you did not know and that will lead to other possibilities. 

You can change your mind 

Having a strategic life map can provide the clarity and direction you might need.  However, you can change your mind at any time.  As you go exploring you might decide that it is not right or not right now.  So, you can change direction.  At least you will have tried something and now know, it is not for you. 

This happened to Vanessa.  She was keen to add coaching to her quiver.  She had mad skills that she wanted to translate into coaching.  She did everything right, put all the elements in place and got great outcomes for her clients.  However, she could earn more doing recruiting, which she really loved, whereas getting coaching clients was a lot of hard work.  Knowing that, she can now decide what she wants to do next. 

Practically speaking 

You will receive an A3 paper that will map out your 3-5 dreams for the next 12 months at a high level.  You will then have greater detail for the next 3 months and even more detail, including actions for the next week or month.  You will also have some dreams you have decided to park for another year.   

You will have a big list of dreams to pursue at some time in the future and built dreaming and reflection habits to support you going forward.  You will also have built anchors and support mechanisms that will support your success. 

 

Simply it is a plan for the next 12 months, with some pointers for the next few years.  To get to the Strategic Life Map you go through reflection, dreaming and design phases, to review and explore.  Finally, you secure the Strategic Life Map with support mechanisms and anchors, that will help increase your success. 

You get the following from the program: 

  1. An assessment of the last 12 months, positive and negative (it is never all bad) 

  2. A list of dreams and the mechanisms to keep dreaming for now and the future 

  3. A Strategic Life Map for the next 12 months 

  4. Tangible and actionable items to work on immediately, no manifesting here 

  5. Built individualised support mechanisms that will give you greater success in achieving your dreams 

  6. Contextual beacon to guide you in the next 12 months

So, what does this mean for you? 

 

Having a Strategic Life Map gives you enough flexibility to respond to life events, as well as clarity and direction and tangible actions. 

The easiest way to get started on your Strategic Life Map would be to join me on Design your Life on Purpose, on Saturday the 23rd July.

But someone is already doing my thing?

It can be tempting to not even start, because someone is already doing what you want to do.  I get it!  It is super scary to try and create something from nothing, especially if you look out there and see someone doing something very similar.  It can be very soul destroying and throw you in a spin.

However, they are not you

They have not grown up with the same experience, same life lens as you have, and I bet you would do it very differently. 

If this was not the case, there would not exist computers made by, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Apple and probably loads of others.  They did not look out there and go, oh x is doing it, so I may as well not.  They knew what they would do it differently. 

That may be a hard to imagine example, so let me get personal.

In Australia there is a very famous stationery provider (Kikki K) who created a course called Live your Dream Life.  I must admit when she recently started promoting her course, I felt shattered.  She was offering something very similar to what I do.  I am a big fan of Kristina and Kikki K loyal VIP shopper.  I felt like the wind was kicked from my lunges and the rug pulled up from underneath me. 

Kristina’s Dream Life course is good, having recently attended.  I am genuinely interested in improving myself and if this course offers that opportunity, I will grab it with both hands.  

Even though Kristina is fabulous, she is not me.  Kristina does not have over 20 years of experience in Organisational Change Management (OCM) and personal coaching.  She has not deliberately tested her approach for change with over 22 different organisations.  We both have different delivery methods, content, and approaches. 

All art is theft! Pablo Picasso 

Or as Austin Kleon says – “Steal Like an Artist”

This is not being disrespectful of artists.  Austin claims, and I agree, that the work of artists is built on the work of others.  Artists take what is already good and reinterpret it or dial up elements.   

Art is not the only field where work is advanced from the back of others, Science is another great example.  Scientific advances are on the back of breakthroughs from others or solving a problem a different way.   

A lot of things needed to be in place for Uber and AirBnB to be able to source drivers or hosts and passengers and guests, they built that off other things that already existed. 

You will never know if you do not try 

You never know unless you try.  Unless you have some amazing prediction skills you have been keeping under wraps, you will not know unless you give it a go.  Once you take the first few steps, you start to see more options and possibilities.  You will see ways to differentiate yourself or a pivot that is more you. 

Small safe bets will inform your next steps and you will learn so much by doing. 

 

Fun fact there are over 66,000 thousand Hairdressers registered in Australia 2008-2022 (Australian Bureau of Statistics).  If it was just about cutting hair, then we probably do not need that many, but each will be different.  I have travelled great distances to see my hairdresser.  Not anyone can cut my hair, your thing will be the same, people will rely on your uniqueness and differentiation.  Your offering is just as valid and compelling. 

So, say to yourself – “Self - keep going - you got this!”

So, what does this mean for you? 

Your thing will never be exactly the same as someone else, it can’t.  So, give yourself permission to unearth possibilities and explore what might be with your little area of quirkiness and expertise. 

The quickest and easiest way to get started on your Strategic Life Map would be to join my free webinar “Want a better (rest of) 2022?” on 16th June.

What is unique about DYLOP?

What is different? 

Unique is one of those loaded words to use to describe yourself or your course.  On the one hand you cannot say you are entirely unique, as you have built your material on the back of other people’s hard work, as these fine artists say. 

 

Austin Kleon and many artists before him say – “Steal Like an Artist”  

David Bowie – “The only art I study is stuff I can steal from”  

“Art is theft” Pablo Picasso 

 

Then on the other hand your unique combination of genes, life experience, your upbringing and natural skills, means you and the DYLOP course will be unique.  Below are 3 reasons that will help add substance to this existentialism.

What is indeed unique about Design Your Life on Purpose (DYLOP)? 

  • It combines Organisational Change Management (OCM) with Personal Coaching 

  • It is wholistic – treating you as a whole human being with responsibilities and everything 

  • It has been developed over 7 years and way over $77,000 has been invested, so you do not need to  

 

Combines Organisational Change Management and Personal Coaching 

DYLOP combines two areas of knowledge and expertise Organisational Change Management (OCM) and Personal Coaching.   

Organisational Change Management (OCM) is the ability to move an organisation from current situation to future desired situation.  It can be a part of the organisation or the whole organisation.  It is super fun and challenging at times, but you learn a lot about people and their reaction to change. 

There are skills, techniques and strategies that you use to help people move through change.  Changed viewed at 50,000 feet assumes that you are moving the whole organisation as one, when in fact each person needs to choose to change.  So, you need to appeal to the masses and to each individual at the same time. 

I have been doing OCM for some time (over 20 years), in different organisations, industries and types of change, e.g system, cultural, process, compliance change.  Applying the same skills and techniques and strategies, adapted for each organisation and its unique needs.  That translates to an understanding of change as it applies to different industries, different work cultures, different demographics and basically every version of humans you can think of.  That is some deep knowledge. Here are some stats to really talk to the magnitude: 

  • 22 Organisations 

  • 37 Projects/Programs 

  • 3,600 Workshop attendees 

  • 75,000 People impacted by the implemented changes 

  • Development of 105 Organisational Change Management strategies 

 

Personal Coaching is where you work with people one on one to help them create change towards a desired future aspect of their life state.  Inevitably in every organisational change, you will also need to do personal coaching, from how to sell the change people, who are passively or actively resisting. 

I love collaborating with individuals who want to do something different, whatever that different is. 

Some of my techniques and strategies are different to Organisational Change Management and some the same.  Early on in my Org Change Career, I realised that coaching skills would help me be better and I would be a better coach, as a result of my organisational change management skills. 

Both organisational and individual change draws on aspects of positive psychology, Neuroscience, personal productivity, strategy, human centred design, facilitation, project management and governance and a host of other fields and skills.  Pulling together the right combination for an organisation or this individual is what makes it super fun. 

 

It is Wholistic

DYLOP is a wholistic approach to your life, treating you as whole human being.  Your family or personal circumstances will absolutely affect where you can place your energy and time.   

This is not just about a new career it needs to be deeper than that.  So, it works with where you are and what you have right now.  Once the course is complete, even 1 hour a week will continue to move you forward towards your dreams.  It does not matter if you are working full time, part time, just getting by or in your dream job, it suits all.

My Investment – so you do not have to

I cannot remember a time when I was not looking at ways to improve.  It started to crystallise when I started working in organisations.  I now know that what I attributed to constructive discontent is actually an inherent talent called “maximiser” (see more about strengths at Clifton’s Strength Assessment).  I am always looking at ways to be a better human, and to get more from this life, a burning desire to leave a legacy. 

Over the last 10 years alone – when I started working on DYLOP in earnest (not that is was called that at the time) – I have invested well over $9,500 per year (or around $77,000 and counting).   

 

Why am I telling you this?

I am telling you this, so you do not have to invest as much.  I have distilled what is good and jettisoned what does not work.   

If I have a technique or knowledge that might help someone, I share it.  Sharing works best when it is relevant and applicable to the person at that time.  When it is adapted to suit a person or an organisation, then it becomes a collaboration, creatively solving problems to create a desired future state.  That is why my company is called Incahoots – I work “in-cahoots” with you and/or your organisation for a better tomorrow. 

 

The culmination of this investment, hit me in 2020, when I was asked to share my yearly planning process with friends.  My Word for 2020 was Forge – it was about making this work enduring, when DYLOP was forged.   

2 years in, we have a greatly improved process and modules that set up and support people to create a Strategic Life Map for the next year and beyond. 

Bottom Line

Bottom Line is… I know CHANGE. I know how to plan for change, how to start change, how to adjust change in progress, how to track change and how to embed change.   

When you attend a DYLOP program you will be gaining the collective wisdom, that has been condensed and distilled from over 20 years of experience, from both Organisational Change Management and Personal Coaching.  You are getting the research, and investment to designing your desired future state.  You are getting a wholistic approach that is focused uniquely, on you, your personal Strategic Life Map that suits you and no one else.

Where are they now?

Before and After results for Design Your Life on Purpose (DYLOP)

Sometimes I find it hard to believe that I have been running this program for several years now.   

 

One of the things I ask my lovely pathfinders (collective noun for people who have designed their life) to do is complete a survey at the beginning and then again at the 3-month check in.  The survey is completed for a number of reasons: 

 

  1. I am uber curious about where they are coming from and how they are feeling 3 months in 

  2. I want to ensure that they have had value out of the program and a tangible “shift” in where they were to where they are now 

  3. It is hard to see what you were like when you have changed. Sometimes all you can see is the long road of change ahead of you, rather than how far you have come already 

  4. It gives me insights into what might be next either for the program to add more value or subsequent follow up activity,

You will see from the results that changes have been made across the board.   

Some interesting ones to point out are….. 

Overall satisfaction with life and feeling you can bring your best everyday have increased.  I find once people start deciding what and how they want their life to go, means they feel more positive about it overall. 

Life allowing you to focus on the areas you want

With such uncertainty over the last 2 years with the Covid 19 pandemic it can really affect the way people feel in relation to “life allows you to focus on the areas you want”.  Determining what you can pursue in your Strategic Life Map when life gives you lemons, takes a little while to get in the groove.  

Know and Understand your Purpose & your Life Path 

This has contracted and I find this happens once we start exploring the strategic life map.  We realise that maybe what we were focusing on, was not exactly the thing we thought and it starts us questioning our purpose on this planet.  All normal stuff to go through, and continue to, as life evolves so will you.  The last question can also make you realise that the path ahead might not be as crystal clear as you thought coming in.   

Areas of desired change 

When people turn up to a DYLOP program they are often focused on changing career or where they spend their time (lifestyle).  Sometimes this is triggered by a change in their health and fitness.  The drive is generally looking at different ways to have a career and lifestyle.  Lifestyle is very much linked to career, as it often helps us afford the lifestyle we are after.   

 

Relationships going up post the course is one that interests me.  It could be that when you change, people around you may not understand why you are changing or they are not on the same journey, or at the same speed, this can strain relationships.  In any long-term relationship (romantic or otherwise), people will improve and change at different paces.  

My recommendation is to surround yourself with people who will lift you up and support your strategic life map.  However, choose carefully.  People can dismiss your dreams because they are not pursuing theirs or they don't get excited by your dream.  They might think they are helping you, when in fact they may not be.  Just remember this is your strategic life map and they can have their own, no problems at all.

Expectations 

The before question asks then what people expected to get from DYLOP.  The after is more about what they need now and/or what they got at the end of the 3 months. 

I would expect (as is shown) that actions would be the next area of focus. Once you have a plan and focus you want to drive into action.  Clarity remains high because each step that people take forward, opens up more options, which requires more need for clarity. 

In the post 3 months coaching session, we talk a lot about the analogy or walking into a space that has lighting triggered by movement.  Once you take the first step forward, some lights come on, showing your options.  Take more steps forward and more lights come on showing even more options.   

The secret is in that first step

The first step might not be precisely the perfect step, but it will reveal a path you would not have seen beforehand.  As an example, Steve Jobs would not have predicted that fonts would be a differentiator for Mac’s, when he decided to study calligraphy at university.  I did not predict that designing t-shirts for a side hustle Yellow & Co, would have enabled me to design my own merchandise for Incahoots.

Good News! 

Design your Life on Purpose (DYLOP) is designed to help you unearth possibilities and design a life that suits you perfectly.  Note the YOU!  This is all about YOU and no-one else, not your bestie, sister, uncle, dog walker, this is all about focusing and intentionally designing a Strategic Life Map that suit YOU perfectly. 

Design your Life on Purpose will be held on Saturday 23rd July, all the details about the what is covered you could ask for are 

Who attends?

It is perfectly suited to professionals who either: 

  1. Know Exactly – These pathfinders (collective noun for people designing their lives) know exactly what they want to do, but are unsure how to do it or have some blocks to overcome. 

  2. No Idea - These pathfinders are completely unsure what they want to design their life around, or might know what they do not want, but definitely not what they want to do. 

 

The results vary for different people, which makes sense, because each person’s focus will be different.  Here is an example of one such pathfinder. 

Sara arrived at the DYLOP (Design your Life on Purpose) course in a very bad place.  Sara has recently gone through a separation, during COVID 19 lockdown and was working on an impossible gig, that was absorbing all of her time.  She was flat and drained, in fact she spent the first 30 mins of DYLOP, crying.  She knew something had to change and I was honoured that Sara trusted me to guide her. 

 

Sara did not get any blinding flashes on completing the 1-day workshop.  What happened, with the exercises and activities is that a long-denied dream was surfacing.  Sara has always wanted to be a Doctor, but her science degree from another country was over 10 years ago and she was unable to use it for post graduate studies, so she started working in business to support her family.  Sara knew she now had options on what she could do with her life.  Sara investigated what options were available to her and has since started a bridging science course at the university of her choice, in Feb 2022.  Sara has already agreed with her employer to go part time and has been reading biology and science text books to get her brain in gear.   

Ready to go! 

Are you ready to create a story of your own similar or very different to Sara.  It is your story after all, so should reflect you perfectly. 

The results people get are incredible and I am very excited to see what possibilities you will unearth that suit you perfectly. 

Here is what you need to know:

How to living your life intentionally - helps you design a life that suits you perfectly.

This webinar will run through the 4 stages of designing your life on purpose. Specifically, focusing on what support mechanisms you can put in place to ensure you increase your success of taking the opportunities that are right for you and avoiding the ones that are not right for you.

The best bit is that you will get the details on what it takes to live a life with intention, with immediately applicable actions. If you have ever wondered whether the investment of time and money is worth it, then this is the best way to test the water.

Why following a “Do as I did” approach will not work and what to do instead?

I get a lot of inspiration from “stories” of how people have arrived at their success, but I use them as inspiration and not a formula.  

If you follow it as a formula you are likely to fail and here is why. 

You have all seen it where someone has written a book or started an podcast based on their success.  Good on them, I love reading them and seeing what inspiration or encouragement I can derive from them. 

But I stop there, they are not a formula for success and they cannot be and I will tell you why…. 

They are them and you are you.  I know that sounds super obvious, but it is critical to really understand the differences.  They have a different background, different skills, different resources and it was a different time.  The things that led them to success might not be transferrable to you, your skills, background, experiences resources and the time we are in today.  Therefore, it is unlikely to generate the same results. 

The second reason is that people will buy from you, not a carbon copy of someone else.  You want to add more “you” into what is it is that you are doing.  The people that you are following for inspiration have put their personality, emphasis and skills, and that is why they are successful. 

I have attended loads of courses, and watched people follow the formula laid out as if it was the only way, and everything they produced looked false, icky.  They also did not get the success that was promised. 

Probably one of the most important reasons not to follow someone's experience is that you are pretty fabulous, just the way you are.  You might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but what an intolerably horrible world it would be, if we were all the same, Bleh!  

The final reason, is that they are looking at their successes through hindsight.  They know the decisions they made and what they lead to.  They look at the decisions to go east instead of south and know that it led them to here and then here.  However, you, my friend, will be sitting at a crossroad wondering which path is right for you.  The times will be different, the decisions different, so you cannot follow “the do as I do” or “do as I did” to be more accurate, as it is most likely not to work. 

You might be thinking so easy for you to say on the other side of a certain age.  You have built your reputation and skills, it is so easy for you to show you and everything you stand for.  Maybe you are right, but I had an occasion to read references from when I left school a number of years ago.  The person they describe is almost exactly like the person I am today.  Sure I have grown and matured and deepened some of the skills and fine-tuned others, but still fundamentally me. 

Ok convinced Christina, using it as inspiration, but what do I do instead? 

If you do or do not know what you want to do, then here is what I advise. 

Take small, safe bets.   

There is no point buying a garage full of merch if no-one wants to buy it, or you do not have the infrastructure (website, markets etc) to support it.  Or purchasing everything you need to do X and realising that you actually do not enjoying doing X or with everything on your plate, it slips by the wayside. 

Taking small safe bets will help you understand if that is the path to continue to go down or not.  Go on a course or ask someone already doing it, what they love and what they hate about it. 

My advice therefore, is to use their lessons as inspiration, create a massive list of dreams and start exploring, follow your curiousity, unearth possibilities, dip your toe in. 

 

If you want to get an awesome kick start on whatever awesomeness you have in your brain, then join the upcoming Design Your Life on Purpose (DYLOP) program.

When is the best time to “Create your Fate”?

I remember a number of years ago working with someone that would deliver the most engaging and entertaining project management courses.  They would be multi day and off site in sunny Queensland (oh what fun – those were the days).

Rob had this uncanny ability to include to use movies like Indiana Jones and a whole heap of cool movie references and relate them to Project Management.  I admired the heck out of that skill.

I am pleased to inform you lovely peeps, I have officially been given the gift to do the same as Rob.  I wonder if it is when you land on “THE ONE”.  Not as a romantic partner, but the one business idea that you just seem to connect to, which seems to then connect to literally everything you can think of. 

I was listening to Frankie Goes to Hollywood (yes, I am that young and have wonderful taste in music – thanks) and one of the lyrics was “Everybody Create your Fate”, from the song The Only Star in Heaven.  When I made the connection to Design Your Life on Purpose I was stoked and could not wait to share my wisdom with you. 

Is there a point to this nostalgia, Christina?

Yes, yes there is.  You might be wondering if there is a better time to “create your fate”.  Should it be a calendar year thing, financial year thing or some other milestone that gives you the ultimate “creating your fate” buzz. 

The answer is….. more complicated than a simple reductive answer. 

 

While I do harp on about starting NOW, as even the smallest step will reveal so much for you to decide next and subsequent steps.  Even if, and often especially, if it is a misstep.  Missteps can be amazing ways to learn more and what direction to take next. 

What you need to do is decide when is right for YOU. 

To aid you on your quest, here are two options: 

  1. Have a look at the questions below and see if you see change in your future 

  2. Reflect on where you are now and whether now is the right time to “create your fate or later.

    If you projected forward to 12 months from now and you were in exactly the same situation, how would you feel? What about the next 6 months? 

Are there major life decisions that have to dealt with in the short term – 3-6 months? Things like a major health issue, domestic issues, or mental health issues.

Are you in a place to be able to make changes to your life, even small ones to move you closer to the life you want? 

Are you ‘over’ where you are now and want to change it?  Even if you do not know what those changes are? 

Are you ready to start investing in yourself and what you want from life, rather than doing for everyone else? 

 Are you the person who laments not taking action on something, when you could? 

 

Change does not happen, when all the planets align or when everything is put into just the perfect place, ready for you to accept. 

I think you should make the move just before you are ready or when you are ready.  I believe that you will know when that time is for you. 

I have one client who had a terrible time a few years ago, stuck in Australia during Covid and her Dad passed away in India.  She was keen to go on my course, but was not ready, with everything else she was dealing with.  She honoured her situation and what she needed to do.   

I have another client who attended my course, literally 1 week, after giving birth. 

You will know when is the right time for you to “Create your Fate”.  Don't let some silly date in some calendar decide when it is right for you – you will know.   

When you do decide I hope I get the pleasure of guiding you on that journey.

Want a better (rest of) 2022?

Can you believe how fast this year is going? 

It is almost halfway through 2022, wild hey? 

If you just happen to be lamenting about having a better rest of 2022, then I have your back baby! 

 

My Signature program – DESIGN YOUR LIFE ON PURPOSE is on again 23rd July 2022. 

This program is perfect for people who…… 

  • Deferred their dreams for other super important stuff 

  • Reached a point in their life, where they are wondering – now what? 

  • Wondering what they really could be focusing on that will bring them closer toa life that suits them perfectly 

So how do you get more of what you want?

For the last 7 years, intently and over 10 years, I have been working, indeed beavering away, on how to solve this.  You see every year I design a Strategic Life Map – basically a plan for the next year, with some placeholders for the following years.  During that 7-10 years, I have invested my personal time and dollars on working out what are the best tools, templates, approaches I can use to get MORE in my life and to design a life that suits me perfectly.

The culmination of this beavering away has been the Design Your Life on Purpose program.  It combines all the tools and templates that work, with enough flexibility to suit different people and different needs.  This is no “do as I have done” program, this is customised to you and your circumstances. 

You leave the program with a Strategic Life Map, that is personalised for your perfect life, as well as plenty of strategies that will anchor your plan for greater success.  Allowing you to focus on the things that are likely to bear the most fruit, without sacrificing everything you have set up to date.

I am super excited to announce that the next intake for this program is Saturday 23rd July, with early bird bonuses in place until 30th June (Happy EOFY to you!).

What is a Strategic Life Map?

Simply it is a plan for the next 12 months, with some pointers for the next few years.  To get to the Strategic Life Map you go through reflection and design phases, to review and explore.  Finally, you secure the Strategic Life Map with support mechanisms and anchors, that will help increase your success. 

You get the following from the program: 

  1. An assessment of the last 12 months, positive and negative (it is never all bad) 

  2. A list of dreams and the mechanisms to keep dreaming for now and the future 

  3. A Strategic Life Map for the next 12 months 

  4. Tangible and actionable items to work on immediately, no manifesting here 

  5. Built individualised support mechanisms that will give you greater success in achieving your dreams 

  6. Tried and tested approaches – if it does not work, it is not there 

  7. Contextual beacon to guide you in the next 12 months 

  8. Follow up group and one on one coaching

Unearth Possibilities Closing Soon

I want to remind you that Unearth Possibilities is closing on the 20th of April (so not very far away).

I know that around Easter time it's a little bit tricky to work out how you might want to fit this in, but the course is post all Easter activities. This allows you to have a little bit of time to really think about what you want to do with your life and enjoy Easter.  

What is Unearth Possibilities?

It's about giving you time to really consider where you want to take your life from now.

If you've ever had the question where you're unsure about what you want to do with your life, or what you want to do next, then this is the program that's going to capture that.

It includes six weeks of templates and instructions which will allow you to unpack and uncover, unearth stuff that's happening in your mind. We will then get them out on paper so that you can clearly see what they are.

It also includes three live coaching sessions. This is where we have conversations as a group to talk about how to use the templates and how to get the best out of them. We cover what to do when themes emerge and how you need to manage them.

When does it start?

The course starts on the evening of the 21st of April, which is a Thursday  and is the first live session.  We kick it off by getting to know each other and I talk you through the whole program, the structure and areas associated with that.

I really hope that you can come along and join in because I think it's going to be quite exciting to see what possibilities get unearthed as part of this process.  

Unearth Possibilities - Closing soon, get on board!

Ready to Unearth Possibilities?

Kicking off on Thursday 21st April, with the first live coaching session 8-9pm AEST

Of course, all sessions will be recorded, but I am known to give away prizes for people attending live.

No Idea! When you have no idea what to do with your life

50 to 60 percent of people that attend my courses have no idea.

Now, I'm not saying that is 50 to 60 percent of the population have no idea, but you know sometimes you kind of wonder.

So what do I mean by no idea? I mean that they've kind of gotten to a point in their lives where they're not sure what they want to do with their lives. They could have come to some sort of a crossroad, their kids have gone to uni or to school. They could have just left a really horrible gig that's kind of making them re-evaluate their entire lives, or they could have had a major life event that's happened and they've kind of got ... well no idea from where to go to and the question that's kind of on the tip of their tongue... Is now what?

What do I do now?

How do I know it's between 50 to 60 percent?

Well I measure it, which sounds a little bit weird but it’s part of a process.

It's about creating a bit of a ‘before picture’.

I actually get people to survey a number of different questions which I do deliberately because you want to be able to see how you've moved through the process. Our brains are really fickle they can't remember what it was like when we started something or started a process, or started an exercise they can only remember kind of where we are now.

So the idea is being able to create that kind of ‘before picture’. It's why trainers measure your weights and measurements, it's why when you have beauty treatments they take a before and after picture. It's to give your brain that comparison point, to be able to do that and the reason for taking that snapshot at that time is because it's helpful for them to look back and go ‘Wow! When I started I was here, now I'm here’.

So that's the point of doing surveys, it sounds a little bit weird but it works.

Why am I telling you this?

I'm telling you this for two main reasons.

One is you're not alone. There are other people out there who have no idea what they want to do with their lives, no idea what they want to grow up to be and that is completely okay.

That life that you might have been barrelling towards at breakneck speed might not be the one that you want any more. Things might have changed. You might have changed. I hope you've changed and you might want to do something different.

The second reason is once you've achieved things that you wanted to achieve, whatever they might have been, you'll have new dreams, you'll have new things that you want to achieve.

You know for me it's kind of like unrelenting standards: ‘tick, that has been done now what's the next thing and I need to move on’. That may just be me, but I doubt that I'm the only person with unrelenting standards, but you if you've achieved some stuff in your life you want to achieve different stuff next.

So the two reasons why people generally have no idea, or why am I telling you about this, is because you're not alone and you might have already achieved some dreams.

What to do?

There's a few things you can do.

The first thing is you build a humongous list of all of the dreams that you might possibly want to achieve and out of that list, one will be the next big one for you.

The second is you want to start to explore stuff that you're interested in or just piques your curiousity. Just start to look at it a little bit more check it out attend a course, information session, whatever it might be. Start to explore those things to learn a little bit more about it, and to start something (literally anything) that very first step that you will give you more information about what the path is going to be from here, than it will if you never took that step.

So take that very first step, whatever direction it is. It might be that you step back, it could be a complete misstep and that's okay. You could step in a completely different direction but that first step is going to reveal so much information that will help you going forward.

So what can you do if you've got no idea about what you want to do with your life?

Build that huge humongous list out and just start. Just start doing something.

So I've covered now what you need to do if you've got no idea. Good luck in your adventures and I hope to see you soon!

Superpowers - Reflection and Dreaming

Let’s talk about two super powers

I believe that there are two superpowers. One is reflection and the second one is dreaming.

I personally call them Reflection Revolution and Dream Quest, because I think that talks more to the transformative power and it's way funner!

Why do you need both?

They actually achieve different things. Each of them has a different purpose associated with it. It has a different energy that it generates and you get different actions and outcomes depending which one you choose, or which one you use, more so.

So basically they achieve different things.

Reflection Revolution

Reflection Revolution is about looking past and behind things that might have happened and then working out what are the incremental improvements that you might want to make along the way. It's really past tense that you're looking at and it's looking for incremental improvements.

It's also designed for you to either review or evaluate something. So it could have been a mistake that happened, or an incident that happened and allows you to look at that with what was good about it, as well as maybe what was not so good about it and work through that. It's also if you want to generate some change, very helpful process to do a Reflection Revolution as part of that process.

Now the thing to know is that it can make you feel a little bit uncomfortable and that's okay, that's what it's designed to do. It's designed to make you uncomfortable with the status quo, so that you want to move.

Dream Quest

Dream Quest is designed to be unbounded, unfiltered - just anything you could possibly ever think of. It's meant to free your brain up to really explore what the future could be and its energy is very different as a result of that. So that's part of the reason for doing both of them is that you can get a different end result.

Because Dream Quest is future focused it means that you can look at things that could be or possibly might be. The really important part about dreaming is that it gives you some sort of direction

So you could have done the Reflection Revolution and you've got some incremental improvements, but for what end, for what direction. Without dreaming you don't have a future state that you're heading towards. That's the reason for doing the Dream Quest component of dreaming.

The other thing to remember is it can be more than one. You can have many dreams and you actually should, because some will be small dreams that will be able to be achieved in a very small amount of time. Some are much bigger dreams that are going to take a little while to kind of chip away at so that's the reason for having more than one dream.

Unearth Possibilities Program Announced!

Today I am very pleased to announce Unearth Possibilities (The Program)

Below is a video to quickly explain what is happening. More information and of course the registrations sits just below.

Have you ever felt that you still do not know what you want to do with your life?

Stuck for ideas on what to do next, after kids gone to Uni or school?

Generating ideas for a future life, can be like tumbleweeds across the baren landscape of your brain or the sound of crows going fark, fark?

Then unearth possibilities is exactly what you need…

This 6-week online course, with 3 live coaching sessions is designed to give you a BIG juicy list of ideas.  Basically, to unearth possibilities (which is why it is called that – you get what is on the box).  

These possibilities could take the form of:

  • Deferred dreams

  • The I don’t dare ideas

  • The maybe it’s too late to…

  • The who am I to…

These might be the dreams that went to the very back of the cupboard and have years of crap placed on top.  They could be new dreams; they could be long held dreams you have never dared to speak out loud.

It really does not matter the reason; these dreams that have been deferred (for very good and valid reasons).

We will dust off your brain and fire up your energy and create a fabulously HUGE list that you can choose to work on.  

Once we have a HUGE juicy list of ideas, it is much easier to start.

We will also have filled that void of emptiness with new shiny and sparkly habits to create more and more fabulous dreams

Because the cool thing is….

The more you dream, the more you dream.

IWD 2022 Themed Playlist

Happy International Women’s Day!

or week (we so deserve a week - at least)

The theme this year is #breakthebias

IWD 2022 themed Playlist

As anyone who knows me for like 5 mins, will know that I love and adore music and, in another life, might have been a music promoter.  

I have created a Spotify Playlist of 10 Australian Female Musicians that deserve to be on high rotation in your music library.

The music industry has been hit really hard in the last 2 years, more than many other industries.  When you are musician, you earn most of your money through touring and concerts, so when they are not happening you are f&%cked.  

So rather than just playing the music on Spotify, where the artist gets a very small amount (like 0.004 cents per play on average – so not even 1 cent, taking about 250 views before they make $1).  I encourage you to listen and then PURCHASE - hard copy (Vinyl or CD), iTunes, Bandcamp.

PURCHASE, because this becomes just that little bit harder if you are a woman.  

They often don’t get booked as the main bill on a festival if they get booked at all.  They must take time off to have children (no friendly employer to pay for maternity leave or even super)

I just realised, that if you listen to my playlist, I have become a music promoter!  Lifelong dream achieved!

If you think I missed someone (I tots know I left some amazing Australian Female Artists out, eg Tina Arena), please let me know as I am always interested in new music.

Coming up soon!

Unearth Possibilities

Around 50% of people that attend my DYLOP course do not know what to design their lives around.  Therefore, I have designed this course – Unearth Possibilities – to do what is on the box and help unearth possibilities and options.  

It will be my first totally online course & will be available at pilot pricing. 

The program will start on Thursday the 21st of April.  If you have any peeps that will be interested, here is the page, where they can sign up.

I hope you are well and keeping as dry as possible.

Reach out with any questions or comments.

Yours Collaboratively,

Christina MM

Chief Possibilities Encourager

P.S. I get inspired by other people’s dreams, as much as I do by my own dreams.  If you feel comfortable, please share your craziest dream with me. It will be used anonymously to inspire others to dream BIG dreams.
