I believe everyone has a unique purpose. The LifePlan process helps you discover that purpose and provides a roadmap to achieve it. As your Guide, I’ll help you gain clarity on where you are, where you want to be, and the steps to get there. Navigating questions about identity, vocation, and purpose can be challenging, but I’m here to help you unlock your full potential and live a purposeful life
What does a LifePlan look like?
A LifePlan is a comprehensive experience that involves a facilitator-guided deep dive into all aspects of your life, including personal, family, vocation, and community. The experience lasts for 2 full days, during which I will use proven tools and questions to help you gain clear perspective and discover truth. By the end of the experience, you will have created a plan and map to move towards your desired future vision.
"The world will be more free and more alive, as we discover the unique purpose of our lives."

LifePlan FAQs
How is LifePlan different? The Paterson LifePlan process stands out for its deep focus on gaining perspective before jumping into planning. Unlike many approaches that rush into creating a plan, the Paterson process, with over 40 years of proven success, dedicates up to 70% of the time to thoroughly understanding every aspect of your life. This includes your personal, family, vocation, and community domains. Only after achieving a clear, holistic perspective do we move on to crafting a plan. What also sets us apart is that all Paterson LifePlan Guides have personally undergone the process and are actively living out their own LifePlans. I don’t just guide others; I am also deeply committed to this pathway myself.
How do I know if I'm ready for the LifePlan process? A LifePlan can be an incredible tool for anyone, regardless of age or life stage. It's particularly valuable if you're navigating seasons of transition or life-change. Whether you're going through a career change and need to evaluate your options, approaching retirement and exploring what the future holds, or seeking vocational discernment to consider new opportunities, a LifePlan provides the clarity you need. It's also an excellent resource for personal and leadership development, helping you grow in self-awareness. Whatever your situation, a LifePlan can guide you towards a more purposeful and fulfilling future. It's important to note that the LifePlan process is not counseling, and it may not be the most effective option for those in the midst of significant trauma or loss. However, once the dust settles and a new normal is being established, a LifePlan can be an ideal way to navigate your next steps.
How much does a LifePlan cost? The LifePlan experience is a meaningful investment of time, effort, and resources, designed to provide value throughout your life. The cost typically ranges from $3,000 to $6,000. This fee includes the entire LifePlan process, access to an on-line Playbook that contains all the charts and details of your plan. For the first year, you will have access to a cloud-based project management tool to help you track your action items and an optional quarterly touch base with me or someone on my team. I am committed to making this process accessible to everyone, so I will do my best to work with clients on pricing to ensure that cost is not a barrier. Please contact me for current pricing and to discuss your specific needs.
