Welcome to Live Skills U
"Many years ago, I found myself in a place where if I did not change major things in my life, I would die. I thought that because of my education and proven position of power, that would not be a problem. As hard as I tried to learn and apply new ideas and concepts, I failed. When I looked around, I saw that others had the same problem
I asked what was wrong…why was change so hard to learn and apply to my life? My ego spoke with such confidence... " After all I had mastered business, finance, and real estate development. I learned all about religion, and the art of negotiating. I had the wife, kids, the big beautiful home"... But in the final analysis, it was obvious that I had never learned about life--never learned the fundamental basics of life skills. Thus my journey began…."

Philosophy
- Life Skills U is based on a unique educational model rooted in the principle of
historic philosophy, ancient wisdom principles and plain old street smarts, coupled with a foundational understanding of psychology that is
directed
toward cultural, individual and social change. Life Skills U teaches individual's how to think versus what to think using a 3-part educational system for the development and support of life skills:
- Offline Computerized Software - Using the eMod Learning Systems Technology, Dr. Richard Jorgensen's work is brought to life using a variety of multi-media features that support all 8 of an individual's Multiple Intelligence's as defined by Dr. Howard Gardner of Harvard University. Builds Information Understanding.
- Online Feedback Assessments - A tool similar to bio-feedback, this self-testing approach enables learners to privately find out what they learned from their eMods and also relearn what they might have overlooked. Builds Information Confidence.
- Online VoIP University Connection - Life Skills U offers a variety of free online classes and seminars with Dr. Jorgensen, in addition to access to the community Coffee Shop, Auditorium, Library, Study Group Rooms and Help Desk. Builds Information Experience.

Technology Advancements
eModular Learning Systems ("eMods") offers a powerful and effective process of education for invoking real and lasting change. The foundation of Life Skills U is the Pocket Wisdom Series eMods which educates in the areas of perception, attitude,
thinking and behavior by using a Scientific approach that encourages stimulation in all four quadrants of the brain for optimum learning. Created by our very own founder and president, Richard Jorgensen, the Pocket Wisdom Series allow people of all ages and educational backgrounds to gain the awareness, insight and understanding to stop doing what is not working in their lives, so they can be open to start doing
what can work.

Multiple Intelligence's
Two journeys have been on parallel paths…
|
In 1983 Dr Howard Gardner re-defined the ways in which a
person learns. He called it the 8
Multiple Intelligence's. Howard Gardner viewed intelligence as 'the capacity to solve problems or to fashion
products that are valued in one or more cultural setting' (Gardner & Hatch,
1989).
Since that time the insight offered by Dr. Gardner has proven itself to be of
profound value when applied to teaching and learning applications.
What we see today
Dr. Gardner has defined the requirements and proven the principles presented as
“the 8 ½ Multiple Intelligence's” to substantiate the success of learning for
all students, creating new awareness and value for all learners and their
environments.
|
In 1983 Richard Jorgensen PhD (hc) BA began the development of a
single integrated learning system, today called eModular Learning Systems ("eMods"), to address the myriad of ways in which people learn, and the
challenge they have in applying the information to the many aspects of their
life.
Since that time the technology created by Dr. Jorgensen has
been proven to work in a wide range of social, organizational, and educational
environments.
What we see today
Dr Jorgensen’s technology presented in “Pocket Wisdom" eMods enables trainers, authors and
educators to publish lessons and material (economically and efficiently) which
accomplishes in one tool what Dr. Gardner defines as the multiple ways of
learning, thus providing all students an easier, more enjoyable, and more
effective way of learning, applying, and passing on of: 'the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one
or more cultural setting' (Gardner & Hatch, 1989).,
