As you know, I'm here to help you design fast, deliver strong without stress. 
That's hat is in the form of workshops, right? 
But today I'm going to be talking about designing life in general.

I'm celebrating and reflecting because I turn 40 this Thursday. What an honour: Every day above ground is a great day.

Watch the YouTube recording!

Disclaimer: I'm not an Olympic gold medalist. I haven't climbed Everest.  I'm just a type of person who likes having a crack at life, looking for cool opportunities  and  treating life as an experiment. 

And so I wanted to share some ideas today that reflect how I think about life design.

I've summarised these in Leanne's 12 Rules for Life... And what I'm excited about is in two decades, or even in two weeks, I might prove my own rules wrong. The beauty of life is in its ever-evolving nature. 

Are you approaching a watershed moment in your life, whether it's a milestone, you've had a significant life change? It might be nice for you create your own 12 rules!
 How do you like to see the world? 

Here are a sneak peak of my 12 Rules for Life:

  1. We’re all gonna die: A reminder of our impermanence.
  2. If you're feeling like a fish out of water, find a new pond: Adaptability is key.
  3. Shake hands with your heroes, they probably have sweaty palms, too: We’re all human at the end of the day.
  4. There is no glass ceiling: Limitations are often self-imposed.
  5. Your clicking reveals your calling: Listen to what resonates with you.
  6. Live regionally, work globally: Embrace the vast opportunities the world offers.
  7. Be like Tom Cruise in the moments that matter: Show up and give it your best.
  8. Find the pattern interrupter in your life: Break monotonies and spark creativity.
  9. If you don’t have permission, get permission: Advocate for your own desires and goals.
  10. Share your work in public: Be open and transparent in your endeavors.
  11. Double click everyday moments: Find depth in daily occurrences.
  12. Real wealth is discretionary time (Alan Weiss): Time is our most valuable resource.
