You were
Designed to Grow
Learn how you can use personal growth as a practical system to become more aware, understand yourself, and turn your dreams into reality.
Nature has designed everyone for growth, and we just have to recognize, understand, and follow this design to move forward in life.
Do you feel like personal growth is confusing and slow?
Have you tried different techniques, but nothing seems to move the needle for you?
Are you overwhelmed by all the information that’s available, and you don’t know what is what anymore?
Do you have a framework to structure your efforts or are you taking actions at random?
Could you explain to a child, in simple terms, how personal growth works?
Do you know why you do what you do?
Can you use the process of growth as a practical system to turn your dreams into reality?
You are not alone like this
When it comes to their personal development, most people jump from one tactic to the next, always trying the new hot thing or technique, without any overall strategy or plan.
They don't have a system to manage their efforts, nor understand how everything is related.
They have become opportunity seekers.
They are like an architect trying to build a house without a blueprint;
Like an athlete trying to get in shape by doing some random training sessions;
Like an investor buying stocks at random, hoping to get lucky this time;
Like a chef trying to prepare a meal by just mixing some ingredients;
Like a farmer expecting an abundant harvest by planting some seeds hither and thither.
No wonder this is not working.
If you do not understand the elements and steps of a process, the chance that you will take the proper actions at the right time is extremely low.Â
Your growth becomes slow, and you experience more setbacks than necessary.
Because you are using tactics without a strategy.
But it doesn’t have to be like this.
And it’s not your fault.
There is a better way
When it comes to your personal or professional development, if you want better and lasting results, you have to become more strategic. Â
The time for just winging it is over.
Can we agree that growth is a process from one state to another? And that every process consists of multiple elements in a certain step-by-step sequence?
And so can we agree that personal growth is a gradual process comprised of multiple elements in a step-by-step sequence?
And that, if we understood this process, we would be able to greatly improve our results?
Personal development should not be some random set of activities that you occasionally do while crossing your fingers and hoping for the best.
It can and should be a consistent, insightful, practical process that allows you to express yourself toward meaningful goals, find fulfillment, and make the world a better place.
This is the goal of Designed to Grow.
- To unveil the design for growth that is already present within you.
- To teach you how to use this framework to guide your personal and professional development.
- To let you experience the different elements of this process and their relationship to one another.
- To show you how to move forward toward your goals by working with instead of against the fundamental principles of nature.
- To turn you from an opportunity seeker into a personal growth strategist.
Don't take our word for it
Here’s what some of the biggest experts in the field of personal development have recommended:
The reason I encourage all people to study natural principles is that it’s a way of learning truths about the world. As we study nature, we learn about ourselves. The lessons of nature point the way to wisdom, but nature will only yield her secrets to the patient, disciplined, honest seeker of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Experience structure
In this personal growth experience, we teach you how to use the natural process of growth as a practical system to move toward your personal and professional goals.
Part 1: Getting Ready for the Adventure
We start the program by looking at the experience map, a visual overview of the entire journey.
The activities in each area on the map will deepen your understanding of the various elements of the personal growth system.Â
Next, we briefly explore the elements of the personal growth matrix, and we make you more aware of the role that each of them plays.
Finally, we look at what is required to ignite and maintain the process to make it successful.Â
This will lay the groundwork for the rest of our experience.
Part 2: Setting the Stage for Growth
To reach your destination, you must know who and where you are, where you want to go, and what could be holding you back.
In this part of our experience, we work on these important elements.Â
We increase your self-awareness and get clear on your core values, purpose, vision, and goals for your life, team, or business.
We look at the obstacles that are blocking you from moving forward and how you can tackle them.
Part 3: Optimal Human Performance
This is the central part of this program where we experience how to follow nature’s processes.
We teach you how to stir up your life energy to empower your growth process.
We show you how your mind creates your reality and how you can reprogram it to guide you toward your goals.
You experience how your thoughts and feelings shape your actions, behavior, and results and how you can influence this process.
We show you the role your incredible body plays in the process and how to use it to your benefit.
Part 4: Navigating the Journey
In this part, we define what knowledge and skills you need for your growth journey and how to acquire them fast and on time.
We explore how to build social and other environments that are favorable to your growth.Â
We create a plan of action that is focused on key elements for growth and that ensures repetition to keep your process going and growing.
We illustrate all we learn with real-life examples and apply the system to your specific situation.

The QLX Way
What you can expect from all our programs
Holistic integration
Everything in personal development is connected. All our programs are tied. We don't say A in one program and B in another. With every program you follow, we deepen your understanding and create more lasting transformation.
Transformation over information
Our goal is to transform lives, not overload people with information. Information is not knowledge, and knowledge is not understanding. Too much input hurts implementation. We create simple, practical, and to-the-point experiences.
First principles first
We don't make stuff up. We simplify complex topics by explaining, understanding, and working with the first principles at play. We separate root causes from their symptoms.
Systems​ over chaos
Personal growth is a process. We turn personal growth expertise into structured, repeatable, testable systems and frameworks that are easy to understand and implement.
Strategy over tactics
We start from the big picture and the relationships between the different elements of personal growth. We advocate for long-term solutions instead of focusing on short-term tactics.
Personal Growth Experiences
Learning more about yourself should be fun, inspiring, and interactive. We combine science, technology, and creativity to build practical, beautiful, and compelling personal growth experiences, both online and onsite.
Thank you for taking the time to explore our Designed to Grow experience.Â
By now, I hope you understand that Personal growth is a process and that it’s incredibly helpful to understand this system if you want to keep moving forward.
The world pushes towards specialization in any of the areas that we explore in Designed to Grow, as if they exist separately and do not interfere with one another.
You, however, are a single holistic being, and lasting breakthroughs come from combining all the elements of personal development in a unified, systematic, and ongoing methodology.
We are confident that if you follow and apply what you learn in this experience, your life will move forward in a positive direction. In truth, there is no way that it cannot.
Good luck, and keep moving forward!
