Break Old Patterns. Build Stronger Relationships. Create a Life You Love.
Discover what's holding you back, connect more meaningfully with yourself and others, and create new possibilities for your future.
Everything in Life Is About Relationships.
The relationship you have with yourself shapes your confidence, decisions, and sense of worth.
Your relationships with others influence how you communicate, connect, build trust, and experience intimacy.
And the way you relate to challenges, fear, success, and uncertainty shapes how you experience life and what's possible for your future.
At LifeDesign, we believe awareness is the starting point—but awareness alone isn't enough.
Through interactive experiences, practical tools, and supportive coaching, we help you recognize patterns, develop new ways of relating, and put what you discover into practice.
Because when you change how you relate, you change what's possible.
Knowing What to Do Isn't the Same as Doing It.
You can read the books, listen to the podcasts, and gain valuable insights about yourself and your relationships.
But sometimes, even when you know what needs to be different, you find yourself repeating the same patterns, having the same conversations, or facing the same obstacles.
That's where the power of interactive experiences comes in.
At LifeDesign, you don't just learn about personal growth. You experience it.
Through live workshops, meaningful conversations, guided exercises, and real-time interaction, you gain new perspectives, recognize patterns you may not see on your own, and practice new ways of relating to yourself and others.
Because understanding something is one thing. Putting it into practice is where new possibilities begin.
Three Ways to Create More Meaningful Connections
Understand your patterns, strengthen your confidence, and reconnect with what matters most to you.
Connect with Yourself
Communicate more effectively, build trust, navigate challenges, and create stronger, more meaningful relationships.
Connect with Others
Discover new perspectives, move beyond limitations, and take meaningful steps toward the future you want to create.
Connect with Possibility
LifeDesign 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.
Insight isn’t enough.
Most people aren’t stuck because they don’t understand themselves.
They’re stuck because even with all that knowledge, they don’t have the tools or insight to transform themselves.
This isn’t something you learn. It’s something you experience.
In our Connections Course, you don’t sit back and take in information.
You step into carefully designed experiential exercises that bring your patterns to the surface—live, in real time.
You engage. You respond.
You see yourself through interaction, not just reflection.
Through guided experiences and shared work with others, things become visible that you cannot access on your own:
How you show up in relationships
Where you hold back or protect yourself
The patterns that quietly shape your decisions
And because it’s happening in real time, you don’t just understand it—you work through it in a way you have never experienced before.
Not through therapy. Not through coaching. Not through books, podcasts, and webinars.
With REAL people. In REAL time. Live, and in person.
That’s the difference our training makes. Actual, lived experience that creates a shift you can’t get on your own.
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.
