HIGHER EDUCATION
Life Design Institute was born in the higher ed space. It is proven that our certified advisors, coaches and guides can have a significant impact on students – higher rates of retention, graduation, and higher rates of post-graduate success and fulfillment – when applying the Life Design principles, techniques and tools.
GRADES 7-12
Today, students are faced with life decisions at earlier ages than ever before. Not only that, the paths they may follow post secondary school are more varied. Helping students determine their direction starts with giving them the time and space to first start understanding themselves. They also require skilled guides, (teachers, counselors, advisors), alongside them as they navigate their journeys.
STUDENT ADVISORS/ACADEMIC COACHES

Whether you are a student advisor or an academic coach: how are you showing up for your students? And how are you preparing them for an unpredictable future?
Let’s start with a list of statements that may best describe your work situation:
- I need to find ways to integrate academic/success coaching for my job and/or in my unit.
- I want to find purpose and meaning for my life and/or for the lives of my students.
- I don’t know how to motivate my students.
- I’ve been charged with finding ways to increase retention and graduation rates.
- I need to figure out how I can help more students with fewer resources.
- If at least one of these statements resonates with you, then you will want to consider attending our Life Design Catalyst Facilitator training!
Life Design Catalyst Facilitator Training is held in North Carolina twice a year. Join student advisors, academic coaches, and others from across the country to attend our 4-day training program, joining peers from institutions across the country.

On-campus Facilitator Training
Is another option, especially if your institution plans to have multiple people trained, or if your institution wants a program customized for its particular needs. The program may be edited to adjust a 2, 3 or 4-day schedule.

LIFE COACHES/OTHERS

Are you a life coach? While we work primarily with advisors in the higher ed space, our same Life Design principles may be applied to life coaching.
As you examine your coaching practice, do you find yourself wondering:
- I need a new perspective on helping people become the best versions of themselves
- I want to further explore purpose and meaning so I can incorporate new ideas into my practice and better serve my clients
- I need ways to motivate my clients
If at least one of these statements resonates with you, then you will want to consider attending our Life Design Catalyst Facilitator training!
Life Design Catalyst Facilitator Training is held in North Carolina twice a year. Join student advisors, academic coaches, and others from across the country to attend our 4-day training program, joining peers from institutions across the country.
