A new book by Stephen Owen

Turn life's lemons into your blueprint for growth.

Two simple systems, GROWTH and DESIGN, for change that holds when life is messy, time is short, and your brain refuses to cooperate.
GROWTH by DESIGN book, workbook and lite workbook
The method

Two systems, one change.

One is how you see the change. The other is how you do it. Together they turn intention into something that actually holds.

GROWTH

How you see it.

Six qualities that make change stick.
  • GGrounded — start from where you really are.
  • RResonant — change that fits who you are.
  • OOutward — look beyond yourself.
  • WWithin Reach — embarrassingly small steps.
  • TTransformative — small moves, real shift.
  • HHarmonious — change that fits your life.
DESIGN

How you do it.

Six steps that turn intention into action.
  • DDefine — name the one real change.
  • EEnvision — picture what good looks like.
  • SStrategize — plan for the bad days too.
  • IInitiate — start before you feel ready.
  • GGather — track what is working.
  • NNurture — keep it going when it is hard.
The series

Read it, then work it.

The book gives you the ideas. The workbooks turn them into a plan you can actually follow.
