FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LiveAnew™ launches revolutionary investment service
that has nothing to do with money and everything to do with
“Who You Are”
—First company to offer full-service program to help members create a balanced, happy life in spite of tough economic times –
ST. LOUIS (March 17, 2009) – LiveAnew™ Inc., a leading lifestyle and transition planning company helping individuals live a more purposeful and exciting life, today announced the public launch of its membership services at www.myliveanew.com.
LiveAnew™ offers unique and affordable services that match people’s strengths, values and passions to rewarding activities. LiveAnew’s mission is to help individuals grow their purpose and connection to the world by finding ways to meaningfully and enjoyably invest their time and talents beyond the workplace. The LiveAnew™ model is based on the concepts of Positive Psychology, which emphasize the importance of involvement in volunteerism, self-development, learning, recreation and social engagements.
The company provides its members with an online evaluation process, as well as a LiveAnew™ Certified Guide who coaches members through the discovery process. LiveAnew is the only firm that follows up the evaluation phase with ongoing engagement opportunities that match the member’s scientifically validated discovery survey and action plan. Members also have daily access to a customized homepage that provides personalized, often fun and adventurous activities, and an online community where new friendships are formed and ideas are shared.
“During uncertain times, or periods of personal transition, people often seek to invest their time and talents in a more meaningful way,” said Louis Wray, founder and Chief Executive Officer of LiveAnew™ Inc. “The fact is, if we stop growing, giving, and connecting we can grow tired and feel unfulfilled. LiveAnew™ wants to help people connect to fun, exciting and sometimes even sexy ways to apply what we call their social capital—what they’re good at, have experience with, and enjoy doing. Numerous studies have shown that the more we can connect our activities to our strengths and values the happier we become. Not to mention, the communities and those around us will be a lot better off by receiving the best we have to offer.”
LiveAnew’s core principal of exercising social capital as the means to life enrichment puts the emphasis on action. Members follow a step-by-step process leading to activities in the areas of community improvement, social networking, personal recreation and other engagements that connect with the individual, often creating important social bonds. This kind of investment of time and talents often requires little or no money and yields a sense of personal prosperity in return.
LiveAnew™ also works with life coaches, corporations and volunteer organizations by providing unique tools for personal assessment, recruitment and volunteer matching.
The LiveAnew Methodology
· LiveAnew Discovery™ is a proprietary, scientifically validated survey that helps new members identify their individual strengths, values and passions.
· Activities Evaluator™ is an innovative tool that assesses how fulfilling members find their current activities and provides insight on how to free up time for more rewarding activities. This assessment is especially helpful for people who are busy but not fully connecting with the things they’re busy doing.
· Social Investment Portfolio™ (SIP), much like a financial portfolio, is a comprehensive document that charts out how well members are investing their social capital and suggests opportunities for further investment.
· Prosperity Place™ is a personalized webpage that gives members access, through a proprietary database, to unlimited and unique engagements tailored to each member’s profile. The activities involve the areas critical to personal prosperity and fulfillment: volunteerism, self-development, learning and recreation. Recommended activities range from local, national, or international depending on the member’s profile and preferences.
· Community Connections™ is a fun place to go to find new friends, daily inspiration, and constantly updated activity ideas that match the member’s unique discovery survey results.
· LiveAnew™ Certified Guide is a LiveAnew team member trained and certified to coach members through the discovery process. The Guide encourages members to take next steps on recommended engagements.
“We are the first company to combine insight, action, and community into an integrated process, delivered to you virtually with a personal touch. Everything that appears on the member’s homepage matches the results of their LiveAnew Discovery™,” Wray said. “We’ve set out to create the best model possible for finding and igniting our members’ passions.”
