"The way out, is in."

- Melis Senova

On Tuesday 4th of June, I was a co-keynote presenter at RMITs Research Conference. It was a great combination of content with Dr Nina Terrey from ThinkPlace taking the systems view, and yours truly taking the inner development view of regenerative design.

Many people have reached out since and requested a copy of my presentation. In it, I have included a copy of the Design Character Framework and the conceptual model that describes the building blocks of Design Character.

With these two things, you'll have a platform to start building your own design character. The questions in the framework guide the inner work that will increase your clarity and confidence in how you design and lead. This will enable you to meet the complex contexts we design and lead within, with potency and influence.

The next Design Character Course kicks off on the 27th of June. All the information you need to secure your spot is below. We have room for 6 more. More and more people are realising that the way out of our shared challenges is through inner.

Design Character Course

Gain the inner clarity you need to be a strong, confident advocate for your work and your career.

Prioritising inner development work is not always the obvious choice. In fact, it is the hardest thing to work on, but changing mindsets, perspectives and habits have the most significant, systemic and long lasting impact.

The course is 8 weeks, it's live and interactive with me as your guide and it is gentle, fun and profound.

You've got this,

"Write one true sentence." "Write the truest sentence that you know." This sage advice from Ernest Hemingway introduces the final chapter in our emotional health series, and we’re ending on a high note: self-expression. This is where the magic happens—the ability to share your thoughts, feelings, and truth authentically. You’ve done the inner work of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-regulation. Now, it’s time to let it out. Think of self-expression as the dance floor for your soul....
