“By nature, we all tend to live imbalanced lives. LifePlanning is a tool for reorganizing your life around what really matters. Tom Paterson’s LifePlan process was so helpful to me that I insisted all my senior staff go through the process.”
Rick Warren | Pastor, Saddleback Church
"I know any number of people who think Tom Paterson’s LifePlanning Process is ‘magic.’ They came back with a new vision and sense of purpose for their lives. They discovered how to position themselves to make a difference. There’s no magic about it. Tom Paterson has been doing this for people and companies for over 25 years. This is Tom’s life work, and he is world class at it.”
Bob Buford | CEO & Author, “HalfTime: Changing Your Game Plan From Success To Significance”
Business Perspective – “The LifePlan was very effective for me in that it helped me clarify the personal and professional direction I was headed. While being in my profession for 39 years, it had been quite awhile since I put the steps, process and goals on paper for my career life…..now approaching 60, I want to continue to work as long as possible because I love what I do. The LifePlan gave me the perspective and steps to move forward to insure I was headed down the right path."
Personal Perspective – “After 58 years you have a pretty good idea of where you’re headed….what the LifePlan did was to affirm my life’s journey. Six years ago I went through a divorce….my 3 boys are just about finished with their education…..next year I will have a new design of how and where I spend my time and finances. The Life Plan helped me look back to assess, but more importantly it help me look forward to prepare for this next chapter."
Faith Perspective – “The LifePlan was incredible in that it identified the best and most effective role I can play with my Christian journey. While understanding my commitment to the Lord, the LifePlan truly helped me identify what my gifts are and how I can exercise those gifts with better stewardship of time and resources.”
Process Perspective – “The LifePlan process was an incredible gift from the Lord in that Brian Johnson is so gifted in helping work through for clarity and direction. Brian brings incredible experience and a wonderful family and business life that helped me plan and execute a great LifePlan. As a husband, father and business man Brian’s contribution and leadership through this process allowed me to get the most out of my time and my investment.”

“Doing a LifePlan was one of the most valuable things I've ever done. I was specifically concerned with future career choices. By the end of my LifePlan session with Brian, my career choices, goals and objectives in several other domains of my life became clear.
I now have tools available that empower me to boldly move forward to what I have been called to do. For the first time I feel I have balance and direction in my life.
Brian is a phenomenal facilitator, I felt at ease as he led me through the process - he was made to do this.”

"My experience with Brian and the Paterson Life Planning process was both eye-opening and exhilarating. The review of major life events caused me to introspect into a wide range of issues that have gotten me to the place I am today and was very helpful in conceiving strategies that will help me take a different route into the future. I believe that for a follower, the focus on God's plan and our relationship with Jesus Christ is invaluable. Any life plan without that focus is empty and forces you to always paddle upstream. Brian's facilitation, input and framing ideas were crucial in assisting me in formalizing and putting my goals into a plan of action. The process is thorough without being redundant and does a terrific job of building to the conclusion where I now have very specific strategies to live a rewarding and spirit-filled life going forward. I just wish I had done it sooner!”
