training & leadership development

businesses don't create value, people do

So if we want to increase business value, then we have to focus on increasing our people value, and for this, there’s live training, workshops and leadership development! 

All training modules can be fully independent, and include subscriptions for those who attend. This allows attendees to take the assessments prior to training, so that training can be more targeted to help you know how to act on the insights you’ve gained.

When live training is done well, it has a way of carrying an energy with it that is impossible to simulate virtually. In addition to that, there’s huge value that comes from in-person facilitation to increase information synthesis and application.

Life Engineering specializes in delivering powerful, unforgettable, and highly impactful live training events.

See below for some of the powerful frameworks we train on.

FOUNDATIONS

our most popular, and highly recommended

4-hour training event

This training is designed to be an overview and introduction to the foundational models and frameworks underlying our proprietary Engagement Science and the Life Engineering Academy and Assessments. It provides an introductory-level understanding of our most core ideas. 

FOUNDATIONS is our most highly recommended training for all leaders, managers, and executives so they can make the most out of their subscriptions and the reports they’ll have access to. This is the “Training” version of these frameworks, which is more concise and less interactive. For the more thorough, in-depth, and interactive versions of these, see the Workshop section below.

FOUNDATIONS includes core training on the following frameworks.

Performance Iceberg

Performance Iceberg

To drive performance, whether for ourselves or our teams, there are three main areas of focus: time, talent, and energy. In this training we explore the nature of these three variables, how they work together, and how as an individual leader you can leverage these to reach peak performance for both you and your team.

16 Elements - Overview

16 Elements - Overview

Distilled from over 16 years of research, these 16 Elements outline the most fundamental building blocks of high-performing individuals, teams, and organizations. They are what create the energy of engagement that powers progress and performance. Learn what they are and how to activate them.

Human Achievement Process

Human Achievement Process

In gamification and performance alike, the 16 Elements are 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 designed to keep you moving forward.

Journey To Purpose

Journey To Purpose

This training arms you with a powerful model of understanding the journey you take—as an individual, as a team, or as an organization—on your journey to purpose.

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 your team.

Orbital Solution Spectrum

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, and how to know which is best.

Ultimate Journey To Purpose

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.

5 Voices of the Organization

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.
