50 Shades of Life

Parent, partner, leader, friend, athlete, creator. Each of us holds many roles, and each has its own rules and its own measure of success. When we switch between them without thinking, we do too many things at once, we are never truly present and we run out of energy. When we see our roles clearly and step into them consciously, we become more present and effective, and life becomes more stable.

In this practical workshop you will learn the Circle of Life Roles framework*. You will leave with your own personal Circle of Life Roles - a clear map of who you are in every area of life and how you want to live each of your roles.

What you will learn

• Why the classic work-life balance model falls short, and why a life-roles approach offers a fuller picture,
• How life roles exchange energy with one another, and what happens when one is neglected,
• What it means to be "in your pillar": aligning your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs,
• How focusing on one role at a time makes you more present in all the others,
• How a solid structure of roles helps you face major life changes and unexpected challenges.

What you will create

Step by step, you will:

1. Identify all your current life roles and arrange them in your circle
2. Rate how satisfied you are in each role (0-100 %)
3. Define the desired state for each role, written positively and in the present tense, together with concrete steps to achieve it.
4. Plan how you will display your circle and review it regularly (monthly, half-yearly and yearly)

Who the workshop is for

Anyone who feels pulled in many directions and wants to live more consciously - professionals, entrepreneurs, leaders, parents or people in the middle of a life transition. No prior knowledge needed.

What to bring
