Beyond the Book: Programs To Bring Life Design to You and Your Teams
Welcome to the Think.Plan.Live Life Design Program page, where you can find out about the many practical ways Gill is helping people unlock their true potential and live with more energy, joy, and meaning.
The Life Design Program is a key part of Gill’s mission to make the Think.Plan.Live methodology accessible to everyone. She is deeply passionate about helping 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.
What You’ll Find Here
The Life Design Program offers diverse ways to support individuals, teams, and organisations.
Alongside the Think.Plan.Live.® book, audiobook and methodology, Gill offers a range of programs to guide people on their Life Design journey.
A great place to start is the Think.Plan.Live.® Book or Audiobook & Workbook, which is a step-bystep self-guided Life Design process, with tools, prompts (and lots of insight from Gill’s own journey).
Since publishing her book in 2017, Gill has been creating and delivering a range of tailored Life Design coaching programs for individuals and groups, as well as inspiring and helping people as a speaker and facilitator.
Gill is passionate about spreading her proven approach and delighted to explore how she can assist the Life Design journey for you or your team.
Gill’s sessions are always interactive, inspiring, and practical – and accompanied by the Think.Plan.Live.® audiobook and toolkit.

‘Second 50 Life Design’ Program
Gill McLaren has partnered with Second 50 to co-create a transformative 8-week Life Design experience for women in midlife and beyond.
This is a hybrid, virtual program helping women reconnect with their Values, Strengths, and Energy, and then create a practical 12-month Integrated Life Plan aligned with the life they want now (not the one they’ve outgrown).
It is a powerful, flexible program that is available exclusively through Second 50.
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.
