Ariane Benefit, M.S.Ed. is the founder of Agile Life Design™, Tools for Navigating Life 3.0, Cultivating Personal Agility in the Age of Perpetual Beta & Healing Chronic Disorganization, Overwhelm & Indecision
Agile Life Design™ is a groundbreaking alte
ative to the "self-improvement, management, control, and goal-driven" paradigms of machine age thinking that has shaped the fabric of our everyday lives and work for the last 100+ years. "Controlism" in all it's forms doesn't work in the era of hyper-connectedness we live in today.
Agile Life Design™ is not just a new buzzword for managing life. It’s a whole new lens for seeing yourself, relating to your life, and navigating the multitude of decisions you face every day.
Agile is about cultivating personal agility. Agile Life Design™ is the “must-have” skillset for anyone seeking to continuously learn, grow and thrive in the age of unprecedented access to vast amounts of information, things, and choices of what to do with one’s time, attention, energy and money.
With over 30 years experience partnering with businesses, service professionals, non-profits and individuals to transform performance and get results, Ariane has had an extraordinarily unique opportunity to study human behavior, motivation and decision-making models, organic systems design, and the impact of human interface design on our ability to change behavior and habits in hundreds of corporate, educational and non-profit contexts.
Working one-on-one with over a thousand people from all walks of life in their offices and homes using the power of design thinking to heal the traumatic patterns of chronic disorganization led her on a journey to give birth to the Agile Life Design™ framework.
Agile Life Design™ provides everyone, but especially, neurodiverse people including gifted, creative personality types, ADHD and ADD with a revolutionary approach to cultivating personal effectiveness and success.
Ariane has been interviewed by and quoted in such notable publications as The Wall Street Jou
al, Psychology Today, and The Washington Times. Ariane also freely shares her expertise and views in the popular Neat & Simple Living blog.
