Course Description

Identify, Align, and Develop Your Vision and Direction for Personal and Professional Growth

What if everything you learned about living your best life was wrong? Living a genius life does not happen by accident. You must know what you want before you get what you deserve. The "Rules of the Game" for your life do not exist, you have to create them. Maximize your Time, Money, Focus, Freedom, and Identity. In this course, you will create your blueprint for:

• The 5 most important areas of focus for the next year regarding self-care, business, wealth-building, relationships, and focus

• Measurable evidence that you are growing within these areas and the activities to get you there

• The boundaries and rules to stick to your personal and professional goals, needs, and wants

• Living your perfect day and those most important moments over and over again

• Designing your genius life!

This five-step process called “designing genius” empowers you to show up to your life more intentionally, impactfully, and energetically. Once you have these five steps down, making decisions regarding your time, energy, and focus becomes easier because you have done the work.

Learning Method Information

Courses offer a convenient, yet rigorous style of learning that allows you to structure your education to suit your schedule while keeping you on pace toward achieving your educational.

Online Self-Paced

Our online self-paced courses are similar to online fixed-date courses, but are designed to give you a six-month period from time of enrollment to complete all assignments. Your instructor will provide feedback via written responses on your assignments and exams. Grades are based on completed projects, assignments and exams.

How is the self-paced course structured? Like fixed-date courses, online self-paced courses are asynchronous meaning that you can work on your assignments anytime; the difference being there are no assigned due dates in self-paced courses. The content is divided into learning modules. Each module will cover one or more topics. Within each of the learning modules, you can expect the following components:

  • Module introduction that outlines what you can expect to learn in the module.
  • Required readings (textbook, articles, journals, websites, etc.) and presentations (audio and/or video).
  • Assignments (which may include: written assignments, quizzes, blogs, etc.) based on the readings and presentations.
  • Module conclusion to review the topics and what you should have learned.
  • Typically, there is a final project, paper, or exam due in the last module that culminates all of the topics covered in each of the learning modules. You’ll find that the design of the learning modules has a rhythm to help you manage your time in the course.
