About Life Design Education

Our Mission

Our mission is to support people in understanding themselves more deeply, breaking through limiting beliefs, and building relationships that work. Through experiential training, practical tools, and a commitment to leadership and service, we help people live with clarity, purpose, and connection.

What We’re About

Life Design Education is a personal development and leadership organization that helps people create lives that are connected, passionate, and purposeful. Our work integrates experiential learning, emotional intelligence, and practical tools that help people understand themselves more deeply and shift the patterns that limit their connection, expression, and fulfillment.

We don’t offer quick fixes or prescriptive answers. Instead, we create immersive experiences where people can explore their beliefs, reconnect with their values, and develop the skills to relate and lead with clarity and integrity. Our approach is grounded, relational, and designed to support real, sustainable change — not temporary inspiration.

In our trainings, participants learn to recognize and transform the narratives, habits, and patterns that shape their relationships, work, and well-being. They gain tools to navigate fear, communicate with honesty, deepen connections, and create results that reflect who they truly are. These tools are practical, transferable, and relevant to every area of life.

At its core, our work is about helping people see themselves clearly, relate to others with authenticity, and live with a sense of freedom and purpose. We stand for leadership, service, partnership, and integrity — values that guide both how we train and how we serve the communities we support.

Our Approach

Our work is experiential, relational, and grounded in more than 40 years of transformational training. We guide individuals through a multi-stage journey designed to foster self-awareness, emotional resilience, authentic expression, and aligned leadership.

The journey begins with The Freedom Course, where participants gain clarity about the beliefs, patterns, and emotional dynamics that shape their lives. From there, The Life Design Course deepens the work, helping people move beyond old narratives and step into a more aligned way of relating and living. The journey culminates in The Velocity Leadership Program, where participants integrate these insights into over 90 days of daily action, leadership, and meaningful impact.

Throughout each stage, we use experiential exercises, guided exploration, practical tools, and real-time coaching to help participants apply what they’re learning to their relationships, work, and personal lives. Our approach is not about quick fixes — it’s about sustainable, embodied transformation built on clarity, connection, and integrity.
