What is different?
Unique is one of those loaded words to use to describe yourself or your course. On the one hand you cannot say you are entirely unique, as you have built your material on the back of other people’s hard work, as these fine artists say.
“Steal Like an Artist” - Austin Kleon and many artists before him say
“The only art I study is stuff I can steal from” - David Bowie
“Art is theft” - Pablo Picasso
Then on the other hand your unique combination of genes, life experience, your upbringing and natural skills, means you and the DYLOP course will be unique. Below are 3 reasons that will help add substance to this existentialism.
What is indeed unique about Design Your Life on Purpose (DYLOP)?
It combines Organisational Change Management (OCM) with Personal Coaching
It is wholistic – treating you as a whole human being with responsibilities and everything
It has been developed over 7 years and way over $77,000 has been invested, so you do not need to
Combines Organisational Change Management and Personal Coaching
DYLOP combines two areas of knowledge and expertise Organisational Change Management (OCM) and Personal Coaching.
Organisational Change Management (OCM) is the ability to move an organisation from current situation to future desired situation. It can be a part of the organisation or the whole organisation. It is super fun and challenging at times, but you learn a lot about people and their reaction to change.
There are skills, techniques and strategies that you use to help people move through change. Changed viewed at 50,000 feet assumes that you are moving the whole organisation as one, when in fact each person needs to choose to change. So, you need to appeal to the masses and to each individual at the same time.
I have been doing OCM for some time (over 20 years), in different organisations, industries and types of change, e.g system, cultural, process, compliance change. Applying the same skills and techniques and strategies, adapted for each organisation and its unique needs. That translates to an understanding of change as it applies to different industries, different work cultures, different demographics and basically every version of humans you can think of. That is some deep knowledge. Here are some stats to really talk to the magnitude:
22 Organisations
37 Projects/Programs
3,600 Workshop attendees
75,000 People impacted by the implemented changes
Development of 105 Organisational Change Management strategies
Personal Coaching is where you work with people one on one to help them create change towards a desired future aspect of their life state. Inevitably in every organisational change, you will also need to do personal coaching, from how to sell the change people, who are passively or actively resisting.
I love collaborating with individuals who want to do something different, whatever that different is.
Some of my techniques and strategies are different to Organisational Change Management and some the same. Early on in my Org Change Career, I realised that coaching skills would help me be better and I would be a better coach, as a result of my organisational change management skills.
Both organisational and individual change draws on aspects of positive psychology, Neuroscience, personal productivity, strategy, human centred design, facilitation, project management and governance and a host of other fields and skills. Pulling together the right combination for an organisation or this individual is what makes it super fun.
It is Wholistic
DYLOP is a wholistic approach to your life, treating you as whole human being. Your family or personal circumstances will absolutely affect where you can place your energy and time.
This is not just about a new career it needs to be deeper than that. So, it works with where you are and what you have right now. Once the course is complete, even 1 hour a week will continue to move you forward towards your dreams. It does not matter if you are working full time, part time, just getting by or in your dream job, it suits all.
My Investment – so you do not have to
I cannot remember a time when I was not looking at ways to improve. It started to crystallise when I started working in organisations. I now know that what I attributed to constructive discontent is actually an inherent talent called “maximiser” (see more about strengths at Clifton’s Strength Assessment). I am always looking at ways to be a better human, and to get more from this life, a burning desire to leave a legacy.
Over the last 10 years alone – when I started working on DYLOP in earnest (not that is was called that at the time) – I have invested well over $9,500 per year (or around $77,000 and counting).
Why am I telling you this?
I am telling you this, so you do not have to invest as much. I have distilled what is good and jettisoned what does not work.
If I have a technique or knowledge that might help someone, I share it. Sharing works best when it is relevant and applicable to the person at that time. When it is adapted to suit a person or an organisation, then it becomes a collaboration, creatively solving problems to create a desired future state. That is why my company is called Incahoots – I work “in-cahoots” with you and/or your organisation for a better tomorrow.
The culmination of this investment, hit me in 2020, when I was asked to share my yearly planning process with friends. My Word for 2020 was Forge – it was about making this work enduring, when DYLOP was forged.
2 years in, we have a greatly improved process and modules that set up and support people to create a Strategic Life Map for the next year and beyond.
BOTTOM LINE
Bottom Line is… I know CHANGE. I know how to plan for change, how to start change, how to adjust change in progress, how to track change and how to embed change.
When you attend a DYLOP program you will be gaining the collective wisdom, that has been condensed and distilled from over 20 years of experience, from both Organisational Change Management and Personal Coaching. You are getting the research, and investment to designing your desired future state. You are getting a wholistic approach that is focused uniquely, on you, your personal Strategic Life Map that suits you and no one else.
Yours Collaboratively,
