What is LifePlan?


LifePlan is a facilitated journey that helps you discover your unique purpose. Along the way, you’ll gain clarity on where you are, where you want to be, and the key next steps to get there. LifePlan is a roadmap for your life. Every one of us, at one time or another, asks deep, foundational questions about identity, vocation and purpose.

Many of us try to answer those questions with personality assessments, skills inventories, and conversations with close friends and mentors. Those can be helpful starting points, but the biggest questions of life deserve an intentional, integrated process led by a master Guide.

“The world will be more free and more alive, as we discover the unique purpose of our lives.”

TOM PATERSON

Our flagship LifePlan experience is a facilitator-guided deep dive into all of your life (personal, family, vocation, and community). Over the course of 2 full days your Guide will use proven tools and questions to lead you to clear perspective and the discovery of truth. You'll then create a plan and map to move towards your desired future vision.


FOR COUPLES

The LifePlan experience for couples is a 3-day facilitated process. Each person is guided through the full LifePlan process, to gain clarity on their own turning points, talents, heart, and purpose. Life Pathway, Values, and Strategies are then integrated, so you can move forward with shared clarity and focus, for greater impact together.


PERSPECTIVE & UNIQUE LIFE PURPOSE

At 21, Argentine/Mexican soccer player Santiago found himself playing for the national championship in Europe, soccer’s biggest stage.

His unprecedented success in his first year left him as the desired object of some of the world’s best teams and in the first stages of significant income. Add to that impending marriage in a few months, and this young man was overwhelmed. Several of his soccer friends had benefitted greatly from a LifePlan and he knew that he desperately needed one, too. So much so that he convinced this dad, a former soccer legend and current TV commentator, to get one as well.

Armed with perspective and his unique life purpose, he is now armed with the confidence that comes with clarity to make the best choices and he embarks on a career filled with promise.

Testimonial provided by Jeff Adams, StratOp & LifePlan Guide

  • "The LifePlan was a turning point in my life. I went into the time without a sense of specific purpose or where I was going in life and I left with renewed purpose and God's calling on my life."

    Sati Sasi, Principal Solutions Architect at Elastic

    Testimonial provided by Kent Rablais, StratOp & LifePlan Guide

  • “In a season of immense culture shock and navigating the familiarly unfamiliar, LifePlan helped me to make meaning from the transitions and turns my life had taken and pointed me toward a hopeful future.

    Most of all, it helped me find my way back to myself and a vision for who I am becoming.

    I am forever grateful.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We believe in the power of a great question.

  • The unique approach of the Paterson LifePlan process is the attention we devote to getting perspective. All too often, the temptation is to move straight to planning. In the Paterson process, which has been around for 40+ years, we spend up to 70% of our time getting clear perspective across every area of your life – your backstory, your current reality, your talents, your heart, and your thinking; and across every domain of your life – personal, family, vocation, and community. Only when you have clear perspective do we move to planning. We don’t just guide others; all of our Paterson LifePlan Guides have themselves gone through the process and are living out their own LifePlan; we only guide others on a journey that we ourselves are on.

  • We will connect you with one of our Guides who will schedule an initial call to learn more of your story and determine the best path forward. We continually engage with our Guides to ensure their work is of the highest quality. We are deliberate in matching the right Guide with each client to create the greatest leverage of your time and investment into LifePlan. Sometimes the Guide is in the same geographic area as you, but not always; fit is more important to us than location.

  • The LifePlan experience is an investment of time, effort, and resources, and is crafted to pay dividends throughout the rest of your life. The LifePlan process typically ranges in price from $6,000 to $12,000. We are honored to come alongside you in your LifePlan journey; nothing matters more to us than guiding you to make your greatest impact in life.
