DESIGN YOUR LIFE, ON PURPOSE QUEST …
is for professionals who want to move from directionless to purposeful
You will deliberately and intentionally unearth possibilities and craft a wholistic Strategic Life Map, to answer the question - now what?
Its time to… Design your Life, on Purpose
Have you been living your life a little by default?
Do you reflect on the past year and realise you have not been living the life you dream of?
Have you been deferring your dreams until…..?
It happens, life is super busy and we just need to deal with the stuff happening around us, day in and day out, let alone the last few years and that whole sh*t show.
Slowly coming back from COVID19, people are wondering is this really the life I want now?
The same approaches are not working. With only 23% of people say they are thriving at work and 47% feeling stressed on a daily basis*, something needs to change.
*Gallup State of the Global Workforce 2023
Often milestones like a new year, new decade or other changes in your life; divorce, death or just the never-ending march of time, day after day, spark a desire for change on your terms. I also find that when a crisis like, Covid 19 happens, it brings all those thoughts into a heightened focus and we really contemplate whether the life we are living is the one we really want.
Design your Work or Life, on Purpose (DYLOP) Quest is designed to guide professionals who have deferred their dreams, to unearth possibilities and design a strategic life map answering the question - now what?
The Design Your Life On Purpose Quest kicks off with Reflection Revolution preparation, that gets you thinking about the last 12 months. It then delves into the 4 step methodology, REFLECTION REVOLUTION, DREAM QUEST, DIRECTIONAL DESIGN, ANCHORING to get you underway with your Strategic Life Map, including support mechanisms to use after the program.

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”
Perfect for….
DYLOP is where you deliberately and intentionally design the next 12 months to get you closer to a life that suits you perfectly. The culmination of the investment of your time is the crafting of a Strategic Life Map, with tangible actions to create a life that suits you perfectly.
It is perfectly suited to professionals who:
1. Know Exactly - These pathfinders 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 feeling lost and stuck, unsure what they want to design their life around. Sometimes, they have worked out what they do not want
You might not necessarily have the full answer for your future, but know there is something you want to change about where you are now. You might have some ideas (sometime loads of ideas), but, are too afraid to breathe life into (yet). Working on this together creates a really powerful, creative and supportive space.
For those that like to tick off a list, attendees look like the following:
Want “more” in the next 12 months than they had in the past 12
Focus on constructive discontent *
Believe there is more to life and its within their power to create positive change (even a tiny bit of belief will work)
Collaborators
* Constructive Discontent – always looking for a better way, where you are never happy, settled and satisfied with the now/status quo. You are always looking to improve, well everything, but in a constructive way
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit”
Here is what past participants have said…..
“DYLOP gave me the opportunity to find and understand myself again. Life can get busy balancing health, relationships, work, hobbies and all the other unexpected things that take you away from ‘being and planning’. I would highly recommend this personal investment to friends, family and work peers. Christina is talented in this field, warm, empathetic and generous.”
Deborah Killian - Change Management Consultant
“The time, guidance and support whilst working with Christina is truly a gift and has helped me define my vision and how I could make it work. I truly wouldn’t be where I am, enjoying my life choices without her patience and guidance as we navigated various options. There honestly is so much to learn about yourself and Christina leverages her expertise through coaching to help you do this.”
Elena C
“Do it. Even if they sort of know their path its' such a great exercise and it triggers your brain. Even more so for someone that is a bit lost - Everyone can do it.”
Frida
“Fun, thought provoking day that allowed me to consider a major new possibility in my life. And left with a well put together plan for the next 12 months and 3 years.”
Vanessa - Executive Recruiter & Coach
“Totally recommend. Opens your mind to thinking outside the square and allowing self to dream, develop plans and break it into steps to go forth with.”
Trina Bechly - Office Manager & Photographer

DYLOP Approach – is broken into 4 ADVENTURES:
Design your Life, on Purpose Quest is where you deliberately and intentionally design the next 12 months to get you closer to a life that suits you perfectly. The experience, allows you the time to reflect, percolate and really think through the options for your future. Leaving you with tangible actions to help create a future that suits you perfectly.
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 then 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 more to directional design, where we create a plan to activate your dreams.
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 (reflection revolution and dream quest) 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?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What it is not?
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. 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 develop your life. It does not matter if you are working full time, or part time, this is for all stages of the life cycle. However, the wholistic approach means it is not designed for people who want the playbook of start ups or how to establish yourself as an expert in your field. There are courses designed specifically to address that focus.
