This is a special collaboration between Second 50 and one of our generous members, coach, author and speaker Gill McLaren which begins on Monday 18 August 2025.

We are offering 20 motivated Second 50 women to join this transformative 8-week guided experience which will be facilitated by Gill — and designed to help you reflect, realign, and design a 12-month Life Plan that’s energised, values-led, and uniquely you.

Gill has delivered her proven Think.Plan.Live framework to many hundreds of leaders, published a step-by-step guidebook on the topic and has spent the last decade coaching, refining and living her life design methodology. In December 2024 and early 2025, we ran some fantastic in-person Second 50 Life Design workshops and the feedback and results was exceptional (see more below!).

Now, we’re bringing a carefully designed journey to Second 50, which will be delivered in a hybrid format, and especially tailored for busy women.

Here’s some of what Second 50 Life Designers said:

❝Gill’s life design work was genuinely transformative. In a world full of noise and endless ‘shoulds’, she helped me cut through the clutter and reconnect with what truly matters — my core values, strengths, and natural way of operating❞

❝Gill’s guidance is both expert and deeply heartfelt. You can tell she’s speaking from lived experience, which makes her insights resonate on a whole other level. I’ve done a lot of personal development over the years, but the time I spent with Gill — uncovering what drives me and how to align with it — stands out as some of the most impactful work I’ve ever done.❞

❝Gill is an amazing coach and facilitator and brings her lived experience to life in the program. If you are looking for an approach to help you live your life (both work and play) with purpose and in alignment with your values then I couldn’t recommend Life Design enough.❞

❝Gill expertly facilitated a journey for me to clarify my strengths and values. From here, I prioritised what, where and with whom I would spend my time and energy on, with the goal of living my best integrated life (where each action reinforces, amplifies or provides the impetus for the next). The group of women on this same journey further bolstered the power of reflection and reinforcement. It was a thoroughly worthwhile process - thank you Gill and Caro.❞

❝Gill walked me through the values investigation and helped me identify what truly matters to me beyond surface-level goals and showed me how to make decisions aligned with my core beliefs. The strengths exploration revealed my natural talents and gave me some practical strategies to help me clarify where to invest my time and energy, with a view to leading a life that feels authentic to who I am.  I am looking forward to completing part 2 soon!❞

❝Gill has a gift for getting to the essence of people, backed up by a thought-provoking methodology that simply makes self-awareness fun! And with her passion for helping people live their best lives, I thoroughly recommend working with Gill and her Life Design process.❞
