I just reached the three months mark in the Life-Centric Work Lab, and I am dazzled by the speed at which the community has helped make mindset shifts that got me steadier on my entrepreneurial feet. I got a handful of important insights and actions that transformed my baby steps into steady progress.

I shared my struggles with a group of inspiring people equipped with design mindsets and with unique perspectives centered around the idea of life-centric work. In the community, design thinking is not just a process, but truly a mindset. Shifting my mindset got me into the right frame, with a fresh perspective on how to approach possible solutions.

As an idealist, I used to hesitate with my start step until everything felt right. But the community taught me something new: how to solve a problem by running a series of experiments and continuously applying the 1% rule. The lab has designed a support system with a buddy who truly empathises with your problem and who engages in your experiments. There’s no cheering, but real teaming! It rid me of the idealist impasse and pushed me from crawling to jogging.

Life-Centric Work Lab has really been a magic potion for progress!

The lab feels unlike anything I’ve been a part of before. It’s all about experimenting and encouraging one another to dig deeper into important work topics that have a big effect on our everyday lives.

I wish I would’ve found an international community like this earlier in my career. I especially appreciate the diversity in culture and experience. The lab is where I can share the topics that I’m interested in and get feedback to help fine tune my experiments. I know I have a place to bring my curiosity and to turn that into something tangible.

I can say for myself and everyone on my team that we’ve seen improvements in our day-to-day lives. Not just at work, but also outside the work schedule.

I no longer settle for reactions at work that things are just the way they are. In the lab we break down mindsets and expectations around work. I knew there were people out there across the world who want to disrupt the traditional narratives about work, I just didn’t know where to find them. This is that place.

This Community Lab has been a stimulating and safe space to reflect, share struggles and wins, and design strategies to improve my wellbeing at work and beyond. I am now more capable of balancing my energy during the week and facing work challenges in a lighter way.

I love that the community brings together an international group of open-minded, curious, kind, and enthusiastic individuals who want to live life with purpose and serve others. I am inspired by how we all strive to become better humans, leaders, managers, colleagues, entrepreneurs.

Our regular live events provide multiple opportunities to brainstorm about ideas we want to test/implement for us or our work communities, and to offer feedback on each other's projects. I really look forward to continuing co-creating with them and making our world a better place day by day.

The Life-Centric Work Lab is one of the best things that happened to me in 2023! For years I've been looking for a community that focuses on the way we see work. The lab's vision to enrich life through redesigning work deeply resonated with me. The magic of this group of curious, kind, and open-minded people is unique!

After just a few months of being a member of the lab, I’ve learned new ways to tackle challenges at work. I made new friends. I found a safe place to reflect and chat during live events. I started developing my own project too with support from the lab and our community!

Do you feel something is “broken” in our relationship with work? Do you want to explore how to bring harmony to your life by shifting our mindsets and assumptions about work? If you said yes, this place is for you!

I was immediately impressed with the fresh approach of practical, iterative and social learning within the community. Add in a lot of fun and dollop of kindness and you have a wonderful experience.

Cheers to Life-Centric Work Lab!

Recently I joined this awesome community that redefines our relationship with work and reshapes how we experience it.

Wouter said it, it ain’t about work-life balance but harmony. And how and to what extent work can contribute to a fulfilling life, is different for every human being. It should all be about work that enriches a harmony between professional endeavours and life's other joys. It's about finding that sweet spot where work and life align beautifully. Easier said than done, of course!

If you need a community where we do live events, co-create tools and discuss important topics around life-centric work, look no further.

You have come to the right place to enrich your work and life!

Life is short. Work plays a big part in it. How I wish for everyone to have work that enriches life. Let's help each other rethink work, and grow awareness and agency in shaping ways of working that serves people, organisations and society as a whole.
