In this session I’ll introduce the concepts of design thinking and Life Design, and how these frameworks can help create positive change in your life and work. Using methodologies developed at Stanford University and made popular by the bestselling books Designing Your Life and Designing Your New Work Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, participants will learn how to use one simple but transformative tool – Energy Maps – to redesign their day for more joy and productivity.

In this interactive session, we’ll discover:

– Not all tasks are created equal: some drain, some fuel.

– How reframing the question of “How do I get more done?” to “What’s worth doing, and when?” can unleash your productivity.

– Strategies for redesigning the workday for more of what you want, and less of what drains you.

Workshop Overview

In this workshop, attendees will learn how to build and train their own AI assistant using CustomGPTs. We’ll cover the specific steps for designing an assistant that understands your voice, follows your processes, and supports tasks like content creation, email writing, SOP documentation, client responses, and internal planning. Participants will walk through The Protocol Method, a simple training framework that teaches you how to use your expertise, systems, and language to train an AI assistant. By the end of the session, every attendee will have a clear roadmap to building their own CustomGPT — complete with real-world use case examples, a planning template, and free access to the CustomGPT Builder Agent, which guides you step-by-step through the build process. No technical background is required — just curiosity and a willingness to explore what’s possible!

Key Takeaways

• Each attendee will leave with a clear plan to build their own CustomGPT (AI assistant) tailored to their business.
• Attendees will understand how to train an AI assistant to follow their unique processes, language, and systems using the Protocol Method.
• Everyone will gain access to a free AI tool — the CustomGPT Builder Agent — that walks them step-by-step through the setup process after the session.

Learn how to spot the invisible patterns that slow you down, at work, in life, and within your teams. Through fun, interactive exercises, we guide participants to break out of auto-pilot habits, challenge the “way it’s always been done,” and build smarter, more intentional actions that drive real results. This isn’t about working harder. It’s about working smarter, living better, and creating success that actually feels good.

Explore how small, playful disruptions can spark big breakthroughs in flexibility, resilience, and creative problem-solving. You’ll experience hands-on activities that blend mindset shifts, physical movement, and environmental changes, and you’ll leave with practical tools to continue using to shift old habits and build new, value-driven ones.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a personal action plan, simple strategies for adapting to change with less resistance, and a renewed sense of connection to themselves, their work, and their teams. This is a workshop designed to help people stop repeating what doesn’t serve them, and start succeeding at what really matters.
