Life Planning in NYC

What if you could create a strategic business plan…for your life? Discover your core life purpose and create a custom plan for your life through our 2-day coaching intensive at Healthy Minds NYC.

What is a Life Planning Intensive?

Life planning is a guided process to discover your purpose and create a plan for your life. In two days, Author and Life Planner Chanel Dokun will help you identify your talents, clarify your heart, and leverage your influence to take directed action in life.

Talents

You possess a unique set of gifts and abilities that can distinguish you in every area of your life. Our life planner can help you put language to your skills to help you maximize your zone of genius.

Heart

Your passions have the potential to provide direction and satisfaction in your life when you have a solid understanding of what matters to you. Life planning gives you insight into what makes you feel alive.

Influence

You are uniquely positioned with access to certain resources and connections that enable you to make a powerful impact in the world. Life planning helps you unpack the power of both your limits and assets to get momentum.

What Happens During a 2-Day Life Planning Intensive?

The life planning process follows the Purpose Discovery Framework outlined in Chanel Dokun’s book, Life Starts Now: How to Create the Life You’ve Been Waiting For. During this process, you will do the following: 

  • Put language to your zone of genius by discovering your talents, so you know what you do exceedingly well. 

  • Explore your passions by clarifying your life mission and heart focus so you know your "North Star” in life. 

  • Craft your strategic life plan by learning how to steward your influence so you know exactly what to do next.

What’s Included with a Life Planning Intensive?

Life Planning is the opportunity to invest in the person you are becoming. This process provides you with the clarity you’re seeking as well as the confidence to actually make the kind of significant life changes that can send you in a fulfilling new direction for your life. 

Life planning at Healthy Minds NYC includes a one-on-one guided retreat, a digital Self-Reflection Workbook with access to personality assessments, and a Life Action Plan with a recap of your retreat and next actions.

What Clients Say about Life Planning with Chanel Dokun

“Working with Chanel was an unforgettably impactful experience. I gained a huge amount of clarity into how my personal narrative was both propelling me forward and simultaneously holding me back - and perhaps most importantly, what concrete steps I could take to continue to nurture my own personal evolution.”

— Physician, 31

“It felt so good to get into words and on paper what my life purpose really is. Even though I hope to see it flourish in the area of career, living my life purpose isn't dependent on me arriving at a certain dream job first. This was really liberating for me and allowed me to see the opportunities all around me.”

— Journalist & Non-Profit Visionary, 30

Chanel gave me clarity and actual words to voice my heart and dreams to others. Unlike how I felt before - mute and not having a way to tell others what was happening inside of me. I felt finally seen and given a place of belonging. I felt released to go after what I wanted because I could finally tell the people in charge what that was.”

— Ministry Leader, 35
