“If you want to make a difference in the lives of others, you must first make a difference inside yourself.” — Melinda Cates

What if two days could change everything?

You’ve been running on empty. The exhaustion, the self-doubt, the nagging feeling that there has to be more — more purpose, more meaning, more impact. You didn’t get into this work to feel lost. But here you are.

You’re not alone. And you’re not stuck.

The Life Design Catalyst Deep Dive Training is a rare, immersive two-day experience designed for people who are ready to stop surviving and start leading — their work, their relationships, and their lives — with clarity, conviction, and profound purpose.

This isn’t another workshop. This is a turning point.

Through powerful activities, honest conversations, and deep personal discovery, you will uncover what truly drives you — and leave with the tools, the direction, and the fire to act on it. And here’s what makes this experience truly unique: what you learn, you’re meant to give away. Because the best leaders don’t just transform themselves — they transform everyone around them.

Your journey is built on Four Pillars:

  • Know Yourself — Who am I here to be?
  • Serve Profoundly — What am I here to do?
  • Find Your Right Pond — Where am I here to go?
  • Give Your Growth Away — Who am I here to lift?

You will leave with:

  • Unshakeable clarity on who you are and what you’re called to do.
  • A bold vision for your personal and professional future.
  • Practical tools to shift from transactional to transformational relationships.
  • The confidence to lead others through the very growth you’ve experienced

This is your invitation to become the most purposeful, powerful version of yourself — not just for your own sake, but in service of something far bigger.

The world needs what only you can give. It starts here.

👉 Reserve your seat today — space is intentionally limited.

Meet Your Facilitator: Bill Johnson — “The Dream Dean”

Bill Johnson doesn’t just teach life design. He lives it.

After a remarkable 34-year career in higher education — most recently as Coordinator of the Legacy Men of Color Program at Davidson-Davie Community College and Coordinator of Student Success in the School of Health and Human Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) — Bill made a bold, intentional choice: to step fully into his calling.

In July 2023, he retired from higher education to pursue Life Design Catalyst work full time. Not because he had to. Because he knew it was time to give his growth away at the highest level.

Bill is the visionary behind the award-winning, nationally recognized Life Design Catalyst Program — a movement that has empowered thousands of students, faculty, staff, and community members to stop drifting and start designing lives of genuine purpose and meaning.

He’s not just a facilitator. He’s a living example of what it looks like to answer the questions at the heart of this training — who am I here to be, what am I here to do, and who am I here to lift?

When Bill is in the room, something shifts. Get ready.
