GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH EFFORTS

THE GENESIS OF A VISION

Creating Your Future originated from a not-for-profit research project designed and led by Prof. Dr. Herbert J. Kellner, Ph.D., President/CEO of United States Online University. He and his team were deeply concerned about the troubling direction of our culture, including self-destructive behaviors, the abandonment of core values, family disintegration, a high incarceration rate, and rampant violence. To address these issues, they developed the research project “Creating Your Future.” Prof. Kellner invited well-known, highly-respected public figures from business, science, education, entertainment, and religion to provide solutions to these pressing societal problems.

AN ONGOING PROJECT

Creating Your Future started in 2000 as an ongoing research project. The primary objective of the project is to find practical solutions to the six problem areas that were initially identified. Over the years we asked highly-respected celebrities and experts from all walks of life to contribute to the project by giving us their best ideas and solutions about how to solve these problems.

RESEARCH PARTNERS AND AUTHORS

Renowned celebrities and experts, including Dr. Billy Graham, Art Linkletter, Dr. Bettie B. Youngs, Erik Olesen, Dr. Stephen R. Covey, Zig Ziglar, Dr. Stan Dale, Alan Cohen, Dottie Walters, Robert W. Reasoner, John Goddard, Miryam Mallin-Dubin, and Steven P. Hadar, have contributed invaluable insights and solutions to these pressing issues. New contributors will be added on a continuing base.

THE SIX PROGRAM MODULES

The “Creating Your Future” program empowers coaches by honing human-centric skills that AI cannot replace. The comprehensive program modules focus on personal and professional development, emphasizing communication, innovation, empathy, creativity, and critical thinking.
