What is it?
DONE is a facilitated day of work sprints spent 100% focussed on getting your priorities done with zero distractions. All you need to do is bring your enthusiasm and your to-do list, and then we will keep you motivated and focussed on getting it done. If you know the acronyms, it’s all about GSD by JFDI.
Why participate?
You are probably very busy, possibly even getting a lot done, but yet you may be left feeling like you never get time for the most important things. Or maybe you’ve got a backlog of small unfinished. Or maybe you have a big piece of project work that really needs an entire day of focussed work. Or maybe you just want to do some planning and develop a strategy. Or maybe you need time for writing or content creation, or finalising that grant application, or catching up on book work.
How it works:
Each participant brings their own “To Do” list for the day and works through them in a series of short, focussed sprints.
Our facilitator does all the time keeping and keeps you accountable to your tasks for the day.
The morning starts at 08:30 with an optional training session where we share with participants some productivity techniques and tools as well as giving you time to work on your to-do lists for the day.
Then at 09:00 we commence the actual focussed work sprints. You can take all these learnings back into your everyday work practices to improve your normal levels of productivity.
As well as working individually, you have the option to use the power of the group to have short sessions for some brainstorming and co-creation with fellow participants.
It’s a great way to gain some fresh perspectives, new ideas, and new connections.

Start-Up Founder Story: Nicole Gibson – CEO of Love Out Loud
Nicole is known as a multi-award winning social entrepreneur, but she prefers to be seen as an unstoppable messenger of love and human potential; impacting millions of people world-wide with her unconventional models of community development and transformation. Currently, Nicole is the CEO of inTruth Technologies, creating technology that can measure truth and transform decision making. inTruth’s ultimate goal, following the law of 4%, to impact a critical mass of humanity, shifting us from a baseline of fear to love.
Establishing a Non-Profit at 18 years old after a lived experience with anorexia nervosa, Nicole tackled the epidemic of mental health challenges by developing unconventional models of community capacity building, engaging tens of thousands of young people across Australia, focusing on building emotional infrastructure as a means to curve the rising rates of isolation, suicide and youth disengagement.
After working with half a million people in a decade of entrepreneurship, Nicole recognised that there is an undeniable code that serves as a golden thread between all of us. She integrates these observations into the development of transformative technology, to unify the world beyond difference. After completing a significant national tour, at 20 years old, Nicole was a finalist for the Young Australian of the Year and listed as one of Australia’s top 100 most influential women at 21, shortly after taking out the Pride of Australia Medal. She’s been featured in The Financial Review, made the cover of the Yellow Pages and had a documentary aired on prime-time national TV.
Nicole has made a vast impact in the health and education landscape globally, and served as the youngest Commonwealth Commissioner for Health in history, advising directly to the Australian Federal Health Minister and Prime Minister.

TOPIC: Fostering innovation by thinking with your hands. What is Lego Serious Play?
Steve Dalton is a Software/Electronic Engineer and Entrepreneur based on the Gold Coast. His company, Refactor, specialises in Agile software development and has provided technical mentorship for a large number of companies, ranging from early-stage startups to large banks.
LEGO® Serious Play (LSP) is a facilitation methodology developed at The Lego Group – it is used extensively internally at LEGO and has rapidly spread in the last 15 years to be now used at many organisations globally. Its goal is improving creative thinking and communication. People build with Lego bricks 3-dimensional models of their ideas and tell stories about their models. Hence the name “”serious play””.
Steve is a facilitator in this method and the purpose of the session today is to introduce the concept, it’s history and the scientific underpinnings. In the short amount of time, we will do a small Lego Serious Play exercise with some pieces you will be able to take home with you and use every time you need a bit of inspiration.
Steve conducts regular full-length Lego Serious Play sessions every month at the GCHub. These are free under the Business Station program.
