What is Life Design?
Life Design is the intentional act of shaping your life — based on who you truly are. It’s grounded in Gill’s Think.Plan.Live.® methodology, a 6-step process to define your Who, With, What, Why, Where and When, that joins the dots to integrate your Strengths, Values and Energy sources alongside your Goals and Aspirations to design an authentic life plan.
Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, seeking more meaning in your work and career, or simply ready to stop living on autopilot, this approach is for everyone at any life stage.
No one else has your unique Life Fingerprint™ — and that’s your greatest advantage.

Spotlight: Second 50 Life Design Program
What if the second half of life — or even just the next chapter — could feel more meaningful, more aligned, and more you?
In partnership with Second 50, Gill co-created a transformative 8-week Life Design experience for women in midlife and beyond.
This virtual program helps women reconnect with their values, strengths, and energy, and create a practical 12-month integrated life plan aligned with the life they want now — not the one they’ve outgrown.
It’s powerful, flexible, and grounded in connection and clarity.
Available exclusively through Second 50.
Gill has a gift for getting to the essence of people, backed up by a thought-provoking methodology that simply makes self-awareness fun!
Gill walked me through the values investigation and helped me identify what truly matters to me beyond surface-level goals and showed me how to make decisions aligned with my core beliefs.
Gill expertly facilitated a journey for me to clarify my strengths and values. From here, I prioritised what, where and with whom I would spend my time and energy on, with the goal of living my best integrated life. It was a thoroughly worthwhile process.
With her passion for helping people live their best lives, I thoroughly recommend working with Gill and her Life Design process.
Gill’s guidance is both expert and deeply heartfelt. You can tell she’s speaking from lived experience, which makes her insights resonate on a whole other level.
Gill is an amazing coach and facilitator and brings her lived experience to life in the program. If you are looking for an approach to help you live your life (both work and play) with purpose and in alignment with your values then I couldn’t recommend Life Design enough.
