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.
tRAINING packages
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
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
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
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
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. Paired with the Orbits of Engagement, this model will help you understand how to optimize that journey for the highest likelihood of success.
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 your team.
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
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
For an organization to be healthy and create internal and external performance, it must learn to listen to, have empathy for, engage, and satisfy 5 separate but synergistic voices. This training gives you a foundational framework for understanding these voices and creating a plan on how to optimize for them.
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.
WORKSHOPS
The following modules are available in a more in-depth, workshop style format. These are designed for a deeper, more thorough understanding, and are delivered in true workshop style, with lots of time for synthesis, discussion, and facilitation.
ENGAGEMENT ESSENTIALS
4-hour workshop series
The Engagement Essentials Workshop Series is an extensive, 4-hour exploration into the Orbits of Engagement, covering extensively the role of energy in performance, and the behavioral mechanics of energy and engagement we experience as individuals, within teams, and inside the broader organization.
This workshop series will leave you with a solid understanding of the energy of engagement, and how that impacts culture (the energy undercurrent inside your organization). You’ll leave with a solid plan on what you can do to positively impact that energy in ways that are specific to you, your team, and your organization.
In this workshop series, your facilitator will take you on a highly textured tour through the following frameworks:

leadership essentials
4 - hour workshop series
The Leadership Essentials workshop series is designed to arm your leaders with 6 of our most impactful models. Each of these cover some of the most foundational aspects of leadership effectiveness and human performance.
The Leadership Essentials workshop series consists of the following frameworks:
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.
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. Now you can know the difference.
5 Voices of the Individual
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.
The 4 Quadrants of Trust
In order to create trust in ourselves, in our teams, in our organization, or to create trust in our customers and the market, we must be trust-worthy. This training covers the 4 primary components of trust-worthiness and creates clarity and understanding of the give-and-take relationship between them.
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.
5 Factors of Communication
For us to be successful, we must be effective communicators. There are 5 main categories we need to get right... and where we often go wrong. This training helps you identify the 5 primary aspects of communication that you need to get right in order to be a highly effective communicator.
Business essentials
4 - hour workshop series
Our Business Essentials series is designed for executives and business leaders. In this series we cover a broader view than the internal lens of culture and engagement. We take the same models and frameworks and apply them outward to understand customer engagement, prospect engagement, and the journey the larger organization takes over time as it evolves to solve the needs of customers by listening to the voice of the market.
