Do you consume a lot of self development content, in podcast, books or videos, and find yourself inspired by the research, moved by the anecdotes, but then fail at the last hurdle of actually putting it into practice to create real change?
If so, don’t worry—you’re not alone.
ILLUME: Put wisdom into action
A research model suggest that when learning a new skill, only 10% of learning comes from passive information like reading or watching a video. 20% happens by sharing and learning from others in a community and the majority, 70% of learning comes from putting into action.
Illume is designed to help you put the advice of the world’s leading self-development authors into action, through interactive courses, tools, and importantly live community support. Illume is there to support you through the highs and lows of life and to help you embrace who you are and become the person you want to be.
