FAQ’S
What is Life by Design?
Life by Design is a three step process where first we help you understand and articulate your life vision and incorporate it into an overall personal strategy, unique to you. Then we put together a plan that helps you step-by-step achieve your vision. Next, we help you execute: we check in at regular intervals to assess your progress and provide support from our network of professionals in those areas where you might require further expertise
How does it work?
Life by Design is an annual membership program where we partner with you for a year, helping you examine your life, guiding you through rolling 90-day plans and showing you how to progress. Along the way, we’re always helping progress, always checking in to move you forward towards accomplishing your goals. By so doing, we bring the core elements of your life in balance and alignment.
Who is it for?
Life by Design is for many people – those who have a vision for their lives but can never get around to addressing it; those who have a plan to attain their vision, but can’t execute; those who can’t articulate their life vision; those who feel unsuccessful, but don’t know why; those who need to reinvent themselves as they travel through life’s milestones; and those who are exploring their personal spirituality.
How does it help me?
The Life by Design program helps you become the best possible you, bringing all the core elements of your life in alignment. It helps you sift through all those things that distract and overwhelm you and focus on progressing towards those things that are really important to you. It will help you identify critical choice points and drive you through a path that enables you to be more satisfied with your life.
What do I need to do to benefit from it?
You need to be open and honest. You need to share your dreams with us. You need to understand the difference between life goals and those other things that get in the way. With our help, you need to understand your life’s critical choice points: those difficult pivot points when you face a true life dilemma, asking yourself the question: Should I do what’s right for me or adhere to the “comfortable” repetitive daily norms that get in the way? You need to have courage to make the right decision. You need to understand your frailties and, with our support and guidance, find the proper resources to help you address them. And you need to have the courage to work assertively and self criticize in pursuit of your goal to be the best possible you.
What will happen if I'm ultimately successful?
All the aspects of your life will be in alignment, you will feel happier and, most importantly, you will have a sense of self-fulfillment and being the best possible you.
What prompted you to develop Life by Design?
For the last several decades, I’ve been working with large organizations to transform them from where they are today to where they need to go. I’ve worked the US Army, the Dept. of Defense, the FAA, Dupont, American Express, Honeywell and other large organizations. Each of these organizations are unique, with their own cultures, traditions and people, yet I was able to identify their uniqueness and apply a set of tool that successfully guided them through the transformation. Now I am applying those methodologies and tools to individuals to help them progress from where they are to where they need to be.
How is Life by Design different than a life coach?
Typically, a life coach counsels you on specific issues you are dealing with in your life and career. Life by Design actually gets you to where you want to be in your life. We identify your most important goals, develop strategy to help you attain them, and give you a rolling 90-day plan. Along the way, we check in to make sure you’re progressing towards your goal and provide you with the appropriate resources should you need them.
