Rule #0: Never take life advice from someone who hasn't won an Olympic gold medal, climbed Everest, or made the Forbes Under 40 list...

But the great thing about a milestone in your life is that it presents a great opportunity to take the time out to reflect on what matters to you most.

I'm here to help you design fast, deliver strong without stress. That's in the form of workshops, right?

But today I'm going to be talking about designing life in general.

I've summarised these in Leanne's 12 Rules for Life...

1. We’re all gonna die: A reminder of our impermanence (a more sophisticated way of saying this is, Momento Mori).
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 endeavours.
11. Double click everyday moments: Find depth in daily occurrences.
12. Real wealth is discretionary time (Alan Weiss): Time is our most valuable resource.

Are you approaching a watershed moment in your life, whether it's a milestone, you've had a significant life change?
