Cohort Learning
(Group of 5-10 Learners)
Cohort (Group) learning is the favored approach for adults, often provided by employers, foundations, and government organizations for workforce development, team-building, and professional growth. It combines three effective learning methods:
1. Discovering yourself
2. Learning with peers
3. Guidance from a success coach
This structure helps individuals gain personal insights, collaborate with others, and receive coaching in a supportive environment that fosters growth, encourages teamwork, and develops essential life skills for success.
Guided Coaching
(1:1 with Success Coach)
Guided Coaching provides a flexible and independent approach with personalized one-on-one support from a Success Coach. It empowers adults by focusing on self-discovery and tailored expert guidance. Learners progress at their own pace while receiving insights from their coach, helping them stay on track and tackle challenges. This structure promotes growth in a supportive environment, equipping learners with vital life skills and confidence for making informed, purposeful decisions during transitions.
Self-paced Learning
(Total Flexibility; No Coaching)
Independent, self-paced learning offers complete flexibility, allowing adults to learn on their own terms. Without the need for peer interaction or coaching, learners focus entirely on self-discovery, engaging at their own pace. This approach provides the freedom to tailor around individual schedules and personal needs, fostering self-reliance and autonomy. Self-paced learning equips learners with essential life skills and insights, empowering them to adapt and grow during life's transitions, all within a structure that is as flexible as it is empowering.
Community Learning Groups
Peer learners, united by a common life transition, learn and support each other through shared experiences, empathetic engagement, and collective problem-solving. Community groups include veterans, young adults, recovering singles, and other common interest groups.
Lesson Exercises
Every course lesson includes a learning activity tailored to spark questions, foster reflection, and stimulate personal growth.
Success Coaches
Each cohort (group) of 8-15 learners is guided by an experienced, highly qualified Success Coach who serves as a mentor and resource. The Success Coach meets virtually with the group multiple times to enhance learning, guide learners, and answer learner questions.
Veterans Transition Empowerment Program
(V-TEP)
The V-TEP program of two bundled courses empowers veterans to chart their own unique path as they transition to civilian life. Join a supportive cohort led by an experienced coach, where veterans learn, share, and navigate the road to successful transition.

3. Probing - questions spark learning.
4. Practical - applicable to real-life.

Seek, Ask, Give, & Do
We embrace an educational philosophy anchored in Reciprocal Benevolence, where learning flourishes as a natural outcome of mutual kindness and support:
- Seek with an open heart, and you shall discover knowledge.
- Ask with caring curiosity, and wisdom will be imparted to you.
- Give generously, and in return, gain deeper insights.
- Do share the kindness, empathy, and respect you desire.
We nurture wisdom through caring questions, deliberate generosity, and thoughtful kindness.
