It’s very hard to succeed at something you don’t know how to do. Knowledge is one of the core drivers of success, and at Life Engineering we’re dedicated to bringing knowledge within reach.
The Achievement Academy is designed to give you access to our ever growing inventory of core curriculum. It’s designed to give you an understanding of the fundamental frameworks, science, and methodology of Life Engineering.
Our “Foundation” courses teach some of the most fundamental aspects to power personal progress. They lay the groundwork for the rest of the academy and are the result of extensive research conducted over the last 20 years.Â
Feel free to browse courses by category using the menu list below, or visit “Getting Started” or “Guided Journey” from the Command Center for direction on what to learn next!

Foundations
The Control Spectrum
The fundamental components of energy...
Throughout our lives, we are faced with a myriad of choices which always fall along the same spectrum of control. How we make those choices has an important energy outcome. Learn how to make choices that add to the energy you have in life.

Human Achievement Process
In gamification and performance alike, the 16 Elements are most effectively ordered into 4 primary pillars. These pillars are the cornerstones of progress on your journey. That journey is stabilized by the two wing-pillars. Together they form a process of continuous improvement to keep you moving forward.
COMING SOON
The Orbits of Engagement
This model is the outcome of our extensive research into the stages of disengagement we traverse as we move into and out of engagement around something we once cared about, whether it's at work, at home, in a relationship, or around an objective. Learn to identify these stages in yourself and those you lead.
COMING SOON
Orbital Solution Spectrum
Based on our critically acclaimed Orbits of Engagement, the Solution Spectrum dives into what is needed to systematize diagnosing disengagement and what you can do to respond and react early, whether that's to re-enter the orbit or to make a conscious decision to move on.
COMING SOON
The Ultimate Journey To Purpose
Our lives, teams and organizations must optimize for not only one journey, but rather successfully bring together many simultaneous journeys in order to succeed. This training builds off the Orbits of Engagement and the Journey to Purpose to create culminating clarity around the journey you are on.

Reality Operating System
Our reality individually, as a team, or as an organization is the result of a very predictable process. When you understand this process, you gain more control and influence over the outcomes you desire. This training covers a 5-step process by which we perceive, create, and reinforce our own reality.
COMING SOON
5 Voices of Identity Creation
Each of us grows up building an identity. That identity tends to be shaped by 5 distinct voices. We have the ability to identify the voices that are impacting our identity and adjust the influence they have over who we believe we are. For a leader, this model creates a powerful framework for influence.
COMING SOON
The Control Spectrum
As we live our lives, at home or work or in any other context, we are constantly presented with scenarios where we are forced to make a decision of how to respond and react. Some decisions create energy and move us forward; some erode energy and hold us back. This training helps you identify the difference.
COMING SOON
Engagement Cycle
The path we take through life, whether as an individual, or as a team, or as an organization, follows a highly proven and predictable process. In this training, you'll learn to identify the stages of this process and what you can do to optimize that journey to increase your probability of success.
