Get clear. Get connected. Create relationships that work.
We help you cultivate aligned, authentic relationships — starting with the one you have with yourself.
Emotional intelligence training that helps you to break old patterns, create real connection, and build relationships that work.
Have you ever felt like you're stuck in a rut… like you're just going through the motions of life?
Have you found yourself sabotaging your connections or relationships with others?
Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a loop… repeating the same patterns, attracting the same situations, and wondering if there's more to life?
We See You
You want deeper connection — with yourself, with the people you love, and with the life you’re building. You’re craving clarity, honesty, ease, and relationships that actually work. You can feel there’s more possibility for you… you’re just not sure how to access it yet. And you don’t want another quick fix or surface-level solution.
You want real results.
What We Do
At Life Design Education, we help you break old patterns, create relationships that work, and reclaim a life of clarity, confidence, and meaningful connection.
We help you:
Get clear about your patterns, beliefs, and emotional reactions
Reconnect with what’s true for you and what matters most
Communicate with confidence, honesty, and empathy
Strengthen your relationships through awareness and aligned action
Build a life that reflects who you really are
This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about supporting you to know yourself, connect deeply, and live with clarity and intention.
What is the Experience You’re Looking For?
Build self-awareness and self-trust, rekindle your passions and confidence, and regain the clarity you need to show up fully — in your relationships, your work, and your life.
Connect with Yourself
Strengthen communication, develop closer connections, deepen understanding, and rekindle intimacy to create meaningful relationships — at home, at work, and in your community.
Connect with Others
See your life with new clarity and choice. Whether you’re expanding, shifting, or redefining your direction, we help you move toward what’s authentic and aligned with what matters to you.
Connect with Possibility
Life Design Education doesn’t hand you a script — it helps you understand the one you’ve been living, so you can create the life you want to live.
We help you see the patterns shaping your life — in your relationships, your work, your communication, and your sense of self — and give you the clarity and tools to shift them.
This isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong.”
It’s about uncovering what’s true, aligning with what matters, and creating relationships and a life that reflects who you really are.
We don’t tell you who to be — we help you rediscover who you already are.
Most people navigate life on autopilot, driven by old stories, emotional patterns, and unspoken expectations. When you finally see what’s been shaping your choices and relationships, everything can change.
Our experiential emotional intelligence training helps you:
Understand how self-protective patterns and limiting beliefs form—and how they are no longer serving you
Recognize the repeating emotional and relational cycles that keep you stuck
Identify where self-sabotage, avoidance, or rackets may be running the show
Interrupt automatic reactions and choose more deliberate responses
Reconnect with what’s true for you
Create clarity, confidence, and connection that actually has relationships work
This work isn’t conceptual, and it isn’t about collecting more information. It’s experiential.
It’s like learning to ride a bike.
Once you’ve learned it, it stays with you. You don’t forget how to balance. You don’t need to relearn it every time you get back on.
When change happens at the level of experience, it stays with you. It becomes something you can access in real time—in your relationships, your decisions, and your life—long after our trainings end. That’s the possibility that is waiting for YOU.
With over 40 years of experience, we’ve walked thousands of people through this process — supporting them to reconnect with themselves, deepen their relationships, and step into a more aligned, connected way of living.
Part One: The Freedom Course
The Connections Course
Our flagship emotional intelligence training, The Connections Course, is a three-part experiential journey that helps you understand yourself more deeply, strengthen your relationships, and live with greater clarity, confidence, and passion.
Whether you’re looking to improve communication, navigate emotional patterns, rebuild connection or intimacy with yourself or others, or live more authentically, this journey gives you the tools to create lasting change.
This immersive journey unfolds in three powerful stages.
Each stage builds on the last — and every participant begins at the same place: Part One: The Freedom Course.
Part One: The Freedom Course
2 nights and 2 full days | Live and In-Person
Freedom is the starting point of your journey — the phase we call Discovery & Awareness.
Part One of The Connections Course is a powerful 2-night, 2-day live, in-person experience focused on discovery and awareness. This is where you begin to understand why you do what you do.
Through experiential emotional intelligence work, you’ll uncover the patterns, beliefs, and habits that have been shaping how you show up in your relationships and your life—along with your strengths, values, and natural gifts. You’ll gain clarity about what’s been holding you back, what’s been guiding you unconsciously, and what’s now ready for your attention.
Freedom prepares you for the deeper work ahead by helping you see, with honesty and compassion, the work you get to do—so you can step into Part Two: The Life Design Course clear, grounded, and ready.
Part Two: The Life Design Course
4 Full days | Live and In-Person
The Life Design Course is the breakthrough stage of the journey.
With the clarity gained in The Freedom Course, this phase of the journey moves beyond insight and into action. Here, you break through the rackets, stories, and excuses that have kept you playing small or stuck—and you begin to consciously choose what comes next.
Part Two is where you are reminded that you are not meant to do life alone—and that you are both shaped by, and a gift to, the people around you. And that your growth, your voice, and your choices matter in the lives of others. Together, we honor the past, celebrate the present, and invent the future—designing what comes next—as you step into fuller self-expression, deeper connection, and a renewed sense of possibility.
You’ll finish Part Two with momentum, alignment, and the experience of creating alongside others—supported, challenged, and celebrated as you break through together, on to Part Three: The Velocity Leadership Program.
Part Three: The Velocity Leadership Program
90+ days | Integration & Practice
Part Three: The Velocity Leadership Program is a 90+ day, service and results-oriented immersion focused on integration and practice—where you apply what you’ve learned in Part One and Part Two consistently in your everyday life, relationships, and work.
This is a fully team-based leadership experience. You will be supported and championed by a group of people who share a common commitment: to follow through, produce real results, and support one another through to the completion of the course.
With hand-selected coaches, intention-setting coaching calls multiple times a week, a dedicated accountability buddy, and three live, in-person training weekends with Velocity Leadership Trainers—Velocity supports you in taking on meaningful goals across all major areas of life. Participants leave with measurable results and tangible proof that when commitment, intention, and support come together, extraordinary outcomes are possible.
Real Stories. Real Transformation.
“I’ve never taken the opportunity to look so deeply within myself before to uncover what has been holding me back in life. This course not only allows for that, but gave me permission to take these discoveries about myself and dive even deeper to make real changes in my life.” — Stephanie R.
“There are no words to describe the feeling of people seeing you for who you really are, believing in you, and seeing your full potential in this world.” — Jess R.
“I peeled back so many layers, and I know I'm strong, and I was just hiding it ... I couldn't un-peel these layers without the support that was given to me during this course.” — B.J. P.
