My first introduction to personal development came when I taught self-esteem skills to elementary school students in Banff in Canada. I found this incredibly rewarding seeing the children's confidence and belief in themselves grow.
I learnt from the people that were top in their field
Shortly after, I returned to Australia and was invited to attend conferences featuring successful Australians who were top in their field including best-selling authors, top sports men and women, first lady to ever sail around the world solo, body language experts etc.
I discovered the techniques that people that were top in their field use
I learned many valuable life lessons that I hadn't learned at school, including what was possible and how to make it so. These highly successful people used visualisation techniques to manifest what they wanted to achieve, along with training, until it became their reality.
With nothing to lose and everything to gain (I was living off lots of noodles in a rented apartment!), I decided to use those techniques to manifest what I wanted to attract into my life. I soon found that doors would open - or sometimes I had to create those doors – and over time those visions become my reality too.
and eventually my visions became my reality too
These included buying my first unit, securing my dream job as a Project Manager with the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games and even meeting my tennis player idol!
But after focussing a huge amount of my life on my career then I realised I was my life life was off balance, I didn't feel fulfilled, and I didn't know why.
Fast forward ten years or so I found my life was off balance, I didn't feel fulfilled and I didn’t know why. At that time I was too career focussed and didn't fully appreciate the other things and people in my life. So I started up my personal development journey once again. This time I attended the Ultimate Success Summit with Richard Branson and Anthony Robbins, going on to complete Life and Wealth, Real Estate, and Business Mastery programs.
For the first time in my life I could picture my whole life on one page - I had created my own life map - which I could use as a life 'self assessment tool'.
After using my life map as my 'go to' self assessment tool', I came up with the idea of sharing my life map / template and process to make the broad framework of this information available to everyone around the world - regardless of their gender, race, socio economic status etc.
It was a 'no brainer' to combine the idea with visualisation techniques so that everyone can make informed decisions about their life and start to manifest what they really want, and the things that will make them fulfilled.
But little did I know after I created this concept, I was about to face even tougher challenges in my work life which really affected me.
Not only is it a life map, and self assessment tool, it can also be used to build your resilience
However, by using the 3D Life Vision™ template and process, I chose to focus on different aspects of my life – because I was now clear on what they were - and strengthened and even excelled in some, and as a result I was able to get through an extremely difficult time of injustice for me. So it has not just become my whole life map, my life self assessment tool, my vision board framework- it is now also my self resilience tool. Because now when one aspect of my life is going wrong - I know I can focus on any of the other 12.
Now I want to give back and share my concept with the world – so anyone can design and manifest their life too, because every single one of us is an essential piece of the greater puzzle.
Goodluck with yours xox
