The goal is to provide solutions to real-world personal and business problems experienced by our clients. The Wonderful Life Project coaching and training programs yield dramatically improved lives for individuals and highly desirable results for business.

But let us back up a little. In 2000, Lee Elliott experienced a tremendous problem: As Vice President of Human Resources at Saint Francis Medical Center in central Nebraska, he could not hire enough employees fo fully staff the hospital. 

With extensive experience in human resources, teaching, coaching, conflict resolution, consulting and public speaking, Lee knew he had to come up with a solution.

After many months devoted to this mission, he led the effort to create the training program which he now calls the Wonderful Life Project. The focus of the training was based in wisdom-based learning. 

Wisdom refers to the ability to make reasoned decisions and provide feedback based on the experience and knowledge that you have. And it’s not merely the teachings of the ancients: wisdom is more about how to have a good life.

From the beginning, the material developed for the Wonderful Life Project has been based on peer-reviewed research studies from the fields of general psychology, industrial and organizational psychology, positive psychology, positive organizational scholarship, sociology, social psychology, to name a few.

We recognize that we are in the early stages of a new and quite powerful evolution of our understanding of management. Much of the psychology has since moved to business. It has profound benefits for humanity and for business. 

A major change in how we manage is desperately needed–our current approach of command-and-control leadership is doing great harm. We need an approach to management that more fully addresses the complexities of people at work. It became apparent to us that what is needed is a great understanding of practical wisdom–the way to a better life.

Through his research, Lee has identified many extraordinary benefits for managers who use wisdom in their day-to-day practices. To the surprise of he and his partners, they also identified significant benefits for individuals’ overall health and well-being. As each of us learns more about wisdom, our life outside of the workplace improves.

The obvious conclusion is that research indicates dramatic and powerful benefits from understanding and learning the skills included in the Wonderful Life Project. Results shown at several organizations that participated the Wonderful Life Project certainly show the training produces substantial benefits–the participants benefit, the participant’s family benefits, business benefits, and the community benefits.
