After landing her dream job and feeling unexpectedly empty, Chloe realised she'd never applied strategic thinking to her own life. In this practical episode, she shares the 9-step framework she created that night in Sydney - the same process now used by leaders at major corporations to design careers and lives they actually love.

What You'll Learn:

• Why most people feel unfulfilled even when they "have it all"

• The three fundamental questions everyone needs to answer

• Why starting with "Who am I?" changes everything

• How to set goals that are outcomes, not strategies

• The difference between vision, mission, and why

• Why beliefs are the foundation of the success cycle

• How to build a support crew that actually supports your goals

Key Takeaways:

• Society's goals aren't your goals - get clear on what YOU actually want

• Finding your why requires a partner - we can't see ourselves clearly

• Goals should be outcomes (feel good in my body) not strategies (gym 3x/week)

• Your beliefs create your potential, which drives your actions and results

• Most people have loads of cheerleaders but lack challengers

• Fulfillment is an inside job - external changes won't fix internal misalignment
