Sustainable Transformation

We live in a drive-through culture. We are fond of quick-fix, easy answers, and one-stop convenience. And yet, this is not how real life works. No longer can we attempt to solve repetitive problems and issues with the same kind of thinking that created them in the first place.

Our competitive based world promotes thinking in a success/fail, good/bad, right/wrong manner that is contradictory to a spiritual way of life that calls for a contemplative experience.

Why do many feel as though we are not living with purpose or passion? Our connection to the miracle of life seems elusive. Our relationships do not quite provide the joy and intimacy we hope for. We yearn for life-giving community, and yet connection, closeness, and true intimacy seem beyond our grasp.

Some of us have experienced separation or divorce, painful challenges with children, finances, or other issues with no sense of relief or solution. Why does a spiritual experience appear to free some, but not others?

Not understanding these dynamics or the answer to these questions often leads to an experience of isolation or failure, followed by shame, guilt, and blame, regardless of how hard we struggle to change in order to reach our goals, or to demonstrate the values and principles that we ascribe to.

It is time to look more closely at the foundations and belief systems that modern psychology and self-help methods are built on.  Part of our mission is to breach the status quo and disrupt paradigms when it comes to how we think about the potential of human kind.

It is a unique time in human history.  We have access to knowledge and research from peripheral fields like neuroscience, physiology, and the study of universal patterns of communication and conflict styles that make a dramatic difference in people’s lives.  However, these profound nuggets are often lost in a sea of media.  Legendary Living Institute is dedicated to synthesizing important and relevant research into educational formats that promote sustainable transformation for individuals, couples, parents, communities, and organizations.

This journey very may well be one of the greatest gifts we give ourselves — and our future generations.

What I’ve learned from Rhonda and Brad has turned my life around and helped me to find my right path again.  I have hope and joy, even in the midst of difficult life-situations.  I have been mindful at work to teach the kids these principles; I practice, practice, practice in every situation.  I have become clear about my true passion and applied for and got a great job.  I have also decided to pursue state licensure to increase my options.  I’m working to build community for myself and my family.  I am inspired — thank you for being an integral part of that awakening!

I’ve had the privilege of working with very high caliber people throughout my career. During that span, rarely have I found a business/life coach that embodies the qualities and principals taught. Brad, however, is such a person. This fact is represented in the quality of his work. It is illustrated through the respect and admiration of his peers. Brad embodies the ethics, honesty and knowledge that has and will continue to set him apart in his career and within his life.

I've worked with Brad on the leadership team of the Ambassador Committee of the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce. Brad really understands the needs of businesses and how to gain acceptance of a corporate mission by the employees and customers.

Brad has demonstrated his skills at helping organizations identify benefit oriented outcomes rather than just rules based outcomes.

I'd recommend you allow his organization to improve the customer and organization-centric interpersonal skills of your company.

Brad has been an invaluable sounding board, helping me to see things that I may not recognize on my own, and giving me food for thought to help me identify what's important to me and make progress toward my goals, and the effective handling of outside influences. His gifts of wisdom and his own life experiences give him insight into what others are going through. I appreciate his candor and also his understanding, availability, and flexibility. I have referred many friends to him and they have all felt that he had good insight and was able to help them in some way.

Brad and his business partner founded Pathfinders, a men’s group, based on their work with Brad's "THANKS" program. I have had the privilege of being in the "Alpha" group. Having a place were men can take down the barriers, leave the bravado and brig ado at the door, makes a huge difference in not only my life, but my family’s and associates as well.

Brad is truly an expert at what he does. I think one of the greatest gifts that he offers is the extraordinary life experiences he has had.  When Brad speaks, it is with the conviction and expertise of someone who really has been there, done that.  Brad's approach is a wonderful combination of collaboration, empowerment, and meaningful connection.

I have known Brad Stevenson and his parents for a long time.  Brad was an exceptional track athlete in high school and in college at UNM.  But most recently I have known Brad as an outstanding family counselor. He has he has been counseling my family — myself, my adult children, and some of my grandkids. He has a special quality in that he causes the person being counseled to have complete trust in him. He has an excellent rapport with his clients and is very effective in guiding them in the right direction. I would highly recommend Brad to anyone seeking Counseling of any type as he is a skilled professional and counselor in many fields.

"Where you stumble, there is your treasure."  I first came across this quote by Joseph Campbell in my work with Brad Stevenson and the Legendary Living Institute.

I had spent many years trying to get past my struggles but it seemed like I was in quicksand.  The more I struggled, the deeper I sank.  Brad was my treasure.  I learned a pathway of discovery of my true self.   This does not happen without guidance of a true professional.   Brad is a sensitive, knowledgeable man with expertise and experience in this field.

It has been an amazing, life-saving adventure! I learned much about me, about others and about life.

This program gives insight on our brains and bodies, including the nature and physiology of change. It incorporates internal and external factors in a holistic approach, addressing physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing.  It is a manual for Life.  For anyone at any point in their journey. I am eternally grateful

Rhonda Smith is one of the very few in this world that is gifted enough to be a natural born counselor, and then clever enough to realize it.  As luck would have it , my wife Kimberly and I were fortunate to be blessed with the opportunity to engage her services.

One small example, she very quickly determined what each of our strengths and weaknesses are as individuals, and how to dovetail them together within our relationship.

One of her many keen observations was that we, as a couple, were focusing on our own weaknesses as well as each others, rather than viewing them as opportunities for growth of our relational skills , as well as directing our focusing on the growth , rather than the shortcomings.

Rhonda has made all the difference, and we will forever be in her debt.
