PURPOSE WORKSHOP |FIND YOUR PURPOSE

+ Saturday 31th October and

+ Sunday 1st November

Live & Online

When you are deciding on next steps, next jobs, next careers, further education, you should rather find purpose than a job or a career. Purpose crosses disciplines. Purpose is an essential element of you. It is the reason you are on the planet at this particular time in history.

What others had to say about it!

What's unique about this workshop???

What's unique about this workshop is that before you think about
Purpose, you have to take a look at yourself from multiple lenses. It's
having multiple views that provides richness and variety - Hero Card, My
World View, Ikigai & Who Am I. From here you can identify what's resonates most for you right now and then move onto purpose.

What's unique about these particular workshops is that they use a a cloud collaboration tool that's easy to use, highly visual and highly interactive. The strategic plan you follow with each step digs deep and unpacks information from within your story. Now you can actually see it in front of you. Yes, that's you. Your story. Moment by moment, you're building a straw man of yourself in a structured, logical manner. It fosters deep contemplation and reflection.

What's also unique about this whole process is that you actually get to put your fingerprint into it. And it's only when we put our fingerprint into something, that we actually buy into it, own it and can make the changes we need to make. We don't buy into or own anything without that fingerprint.

What's also unique about this whole thing is that it's a live and online record for you to keep, review and rework, forever.

You have a purpose unique to you!!!

I believe everyone has a unique purpose. A purpose that life's experiences forge them perfectly for. A purpose that matures and evolves as we do, while we live life and experience the world through our unique perspective. Until such a time that we decide to search for and find purpose, we are merely sampling and experiencing life like a skipping -stone across the water. Not fully or whole-heartedly "living and breathing it". I believe in living a life on purpose, being on-purpose, doing on-purpose and living life fully on purpose. Not just from some point in the foreseeable or distant future. Everyday! I believe that living on purpose is the way to live a whole and fulfilling life.

Still unsure? Stop thinking about it. Book a 30-minute zoom and find out.

About Bernard Schokman - Facilitator | My Why

I'm a thinker. A deep thinker. A design thinker and a systems thinker.

My talent is my ability to find order, structure and process, in chaos. I've helped local and global organisations solve some gnarly problems with Design Thinking, but now something has changed.

COVID created a space for me to pause and reflect. And I did.

After failing nearly every subject in year 11, 12 and first-year university, having lost my best friend (car crash) and younger brother (drug addiction), survived my parent's separation, my own (three kids), and having re-invented myself repeatedly in the last 30 years, I'm concluding my ability to conquer the odds is second to none.

What kept me going? Purpose - Every time.

I believe everyone has a series-of-purposes that "life's experience" forges them for. One that matures and evolves as they do, while they live and experience the world through their particular lens. Until we decide to find it we are sampling and experiencing life like a skipping stone, but not fully, deeply or whole-heartedly "living and breathing it".

I believe in having, living and doing things on purpose. Everyday. Not just from some arbitrary point in the future - for instance, retirement.

Living on purpose is the way to live a whole and fulfilling life.

Everyday. Today. Right now.

Life's experiences have built you for something specific. Something no one else can do the way you want to. A thought or idea in your head that just keeps tapping you, but you never seem to have time for.

Well, now might just be that time for you!!!

About Bernard Schokman - Facilitator | Professional Background

I always thought my dream was to become a farmer or a vet. It seemed like an appropriate dream given my love of plants and animals. Sometimes, however, it seems that life has other plans for you.

I commenced my career with a solid decade of designing, coding and testing on a multitude of tech-stacks. I was never a gifted technologist, but I was always creative and could find a way to design and code any solution. It was oddly and nerdishly satisfying.

I caught fire when I stepped into "Design Thinking".

While delivering one of the very first Digital Experience Design (UX) Courses in Australia, I found myself designing a user research workshop for discovery and insight. At the time the software design process desperately needed acceleration to keep pace with development.

And that's when it happened; the spark that I was missing, ignited.

I still love applying the Design Thinking principles to workshops and research. It's still oddly satisfying to watch as designs unfold with discovery, insight and totally unexpected outcomes. I think in a way I'm kind of like those designs, I'm mouldable and adaptable while still keeping my principles intact.

Applied "Design Thinking" is a total fascination for me.

While I'm still enthusiastically grabbing onto other design frameworks and principles to integrate into my head, I no longer see the separation between the design methodologies - UX design, design thinking. the lean method, agile method, business model canvas, strategyzer etc, They are all part of a whole.

Conversation Design.
- How to make the horse drink the water.

At the core, however, I'm a father to three kids and a partner to a wonderful woman and that's what it really comes down to. I love to learn and I love a good conversation. I'll bend over backwards to help someone and also understand the value in standing back. Balance.

My DISC profile is pretty much in the middle and just inside the C section (CAUTIOUS - Analytical, Detail-Oriented, Systematic). I am easy to work with, practical, knowledgeable, pride myself in my work and add an element of calm to a team.

The Purpose Workshop is some of my very best work.

Looking forward to seeing you there!!!
