OUR CURRICULUM

The Leadership Journeyâ„¢

A complete leadership curriculum that grows with every learner, from middle school to adulthood. Eight courses, twelve modules each, one framework built on character, purpose, service and legacy.

The L.I.F.E. Methodâ„¢

Every course in the Journey returns to these four words.

Learn

Develop wisdom through curiosity, education and a lifetime of growth. Leaders never stop being students.

Inspire

Lead by example and become the reason someone believes in themselves.

Flourish

Pursue well-being in mind, body, relationships and purpose. You cannot pour from an empty cup.

Empower

Use your knowledge and experience to strengthen individuals, families and communities.

The Leadership Compassâ„¢

When you are unsure which way to go, return to the compass.

The L.I.F.E. University Leadership Compass: Purpose, Growth, Service and Legacy around Character at the center

Purpose points you forward. Growth keeps you moving. Service turns you outward. Legacy outlives you. But character is the needle that makes the whole compass true.

Purpose

Know why you lead.

Growth

Commit to learning as long as you live.

Service

Lift others as you rise.

Legacy

Leave people and places better than you found them.

Character, at the center

Everything flows from who you are.
