The Paterson LifePlan® Process

A strategy for your life

The Paterson LifePlan is a guided discovery process that helps individuals gain clarity on their unique purpose, uncover their personal story, and create a strategic roadmap for living with greater focus, fulfillment, and impact. It’s about aligning who you are with what you do—on purpose.

Why it matters

Most people live with a sense that there’s “more” out there—more meaning, more direction, more alignment. The LifePlan process brings that “more” into focus by helping you discover your unique design, understand the patterns in your life story, and define what truly matters most—so you can live with intention across all areas of life.

FAQ

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The LifePlan Process created a “point back” document that was hugely valuable in advancing our company mission, vision values, and roles. I strongly recommend this investment for any company looking for, or working to ensure alignment at the top level.

  • Reza can connect with people and is motivational in his speech. Reza’s “halftime” pep talk is what my 150 Realtors needed. The result was a record-breaking 3rd and 4th quarter. Reza is a local, reputable, and talented speaker and leader whom I will hire again and again.
