Beyond the Book:
Life Design programs for you and your team.
Welcome to the Think.Plan.Live Life Design Program page, where you can find out about the different ways Gill is helping people to unlock their true potential, and live with more energy, joy, and meaning.
These programs are part of Gill’s mission to make the Think.Plan.Live methodology accessible to everyone. The goal is to help as many people as possible to define, design and live their best integrated life.
What is a Life Design?
Life Design is the act of intentionally shaping your life based on who you truly are. Instead of drifting or defaulting to old patterns, Gill’s 6-step Think.Plan.Live.® methodology guides people to pause and ask the deeper questions, connect the dots and then design an authentic life plan that’s aligned with who they are. This includes:
-
Defining your Who, With, What, Why, Where and When
-
Joining the dots to integrate your Strengths, Values and Energy sources
-
Integrating all of this with your Goals and Aspirations.
No one else has your unique Life Fingerprint and when you get clarity and confidence around that, it can be your greatest advantage.

Some leaders prefer to go on their Life Design journey guided by personal coaching from Gill, tailored to their own specific needs and goals.
Client goals often revolve around navigating a career transition, building a life and career more in tune to who they are, or around midlife re-focus to build a more meaningful life.

See what Second 50 women are saying about Gill and Second 50 Life Design
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.
