Nobody's Immune - a webinar with Kathy Mellor
2025-09-27 09:00 - 10:30 UTC
9 AM Mountain Time
Perhaps you found yourself completely shocked when you learned that Charlie Kirk’s assassin came from a good, conservative home with parents that gave him every opportunity. Kathy Mellor definitely was, so much so that she’s coming out of retirement to try and make a difference in our LEMI family. You can read her thoughts HERE.
In this webinar, Kathy will be discussing the lessons gleaned from watching young adults go into the world unprepared to meet Wokeism. Even the ones who studied Marxism, didn’t actually recognize it when they came face to face with it. Or they were swayed by the Postmodernist sheen that’ has been liberally painted on it.
You may feel like your family is immune to the complete radicalization that has happened to so many of today’s young adults. Perhaps they are, it is definitely possible, but it’s not likely. It’s not a matter of effort, it’s not a matter of not loving them enough, and it’s not a matter of indifference or negligence. The deficit most likely exists because we didn’t teach them specifically the roots of this worldview and the natural ends of aligning with it.
If we are going to amplify Charlie’s message of conservative values, freedom of speech, and aligning ourselves with God, we must do something different. You will walk away with specific actions you can take (today!) in your family to increase the level of critical thinking and foster a greater awareness of the manipulation which is rampant across our colleges and institutions.

What is Leadership Education?
2025-12-04 18:00 - 19:30 (America/Chicago)
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4TH, 6 PM MST
FREE WEBINAR – REGISTRATION REQUIRED
You’re doing your best for your children’s education.
Maybe you’re homeschooling. Maybe you’re part of a learning community. Maybe you’ve heard people talk about “Leadership Education” and nod along—but honestly? You’re not entirely sure what it means.
You’ve heard the terms—mentors, phases, liberal arts education, project-based learning. But how do they all fit together? And more importantly, how does it work in real life?
If you’ve ever felt a little lost in conversations about Leadership Education, you’re not alone.
Here’s the thing: you don’t need another curriculum or complicated system.What you need is a clear understanding of the philosophy behind what you’re doing (or considering). Because when you grasp the why, the how finally makes sense.
Leadership Education isn’t just a teaching method—it’s a completely different way of seeing learning. Once that perspective clicks, everything changes.
Here’s the truth: every one of your children has a God-given genius.Not that they’re brilliant at everything, but that each has unique gifts the world desperately needs.
Traditional education (and even some homeschool approaches) often miss this truth. We end up judging fish by their ability to climb trees—and everyone loses.
In this free 60-minute webinar, you’ll discover:

What Leadership Education actually is—the philosophy that makes everything else make sense
Why we use mentors instead of teachers—and what that means for you
How the classical liberal arts model works in real life (not theory, but practice)
The natural phases of learning—and why ages are just guidelines
What LEMI offers: mentored, project-based learning in community
Practical answers to real questions: “What if my child is not a leader?” “How do I know they’re learning enough?” “Will this work for my family?”

This webinar is perfect for you if:

You’re part of a LEMI community and want to understand its foundation
You’ve heard about Leadership Education but need a clear explanation
You’re considering this approach and want to know what it’s really about
You’re new to homeschooling and exploring your options
You want to understand the “why” behind what you’re already doing

Afterward, you’ll walk away with:
A solid foundation—a clear vision of what Leadership Education is and why it matters. The conversations you’ve been hearing will suddenly make more sense. You’ll see your children differently and know what your next steps are.
Whether you’re brand new or simply ready for things to “click,” this webinar and the resources shared will help give you the confidence and clarity you’ve been looking for.
Join us and discover the educational philosophy that’s been transforming families for years.

Forms: A New Perspective with Olivia Votaw
2026-01-10 09:00 - 10:30 (America/Denver)
FRIDAY, JANUARY 10TH, 6 PM MST FREE WEBINAR – REGISTRATION REQUIRED
Have you ever noticed how some families seem to flow through their homeschool days with ease while others struggle despite working just as hard? Or wondered why the same approach produces completely different results in different homes? The answer often lies in something most of us never think about: forms. Forms are the structures and systems that produce outcomes—whether in government, family, community, or education. They’re the underlying frameworks that shape what actually happens: how your family makes decisions, how your household runs, how learning unfolds, how conflicts get resolved. Here’s the powerful insight: when you recognize the forms at work, you can understand why you’re getting certain results. And when you don’t like those results? You can change them by changing your forms.
In this webinar, Olivia will help you see the forms currently operating in your life (even the invisible ones), understand how different structures produce different outcomes, and learn to design forms that align with the principles you actually value. Join us and discover how recognizing—and redesigning—your forms can transform the outcomes you’re seeing in every area of life.

Seeing the Genius Hidden in Plain Sight with Heidi Christianson
2026-01-15 18:00 - 19:30 (America/Denver)
THURSDAY, JANUARY 15TH, 6 PM MST FREE WEBINAR – REGISTRATION REQUIRED
You look at your child and you know—deep down—there’s something special there.
Maybe they don’t fit the mold. Maybe they struggle with things that come easily to other kids. Maybe they’re “behind” on paper but brilliant in ways the tests don’t measure.
Or maybe they’re doing fine academically, but you can’t shake the feeling that something essential is being missed.
Here’s what you might not know: Every person you’ve ever met is a genius.
Not that they excel at everything. But that each child has God-given gifts woven into the fabric of who they are—gifts the world desperately needs.
The problem? Most of us can’t see it. We’ve been trained to look for genius in all the wrong places. We judge fish by their ability to climb trees. We measure gardens by whether every plant looks the same.
What if you could learn to see differently?
In this free webinar, you’ll discover:

What genius actually means—not IQ scores, but the spiritual fingerprint that makes each person unique
The Genius-Season-Work-Mission framework—a simple way to understand how individual potential unfolds across a lifetime
Why genius often hides—and how to recognize it beneath struggle, “behavior problems,” or environments that fail to value it
How to create conditions where genius can emerge—from simplifying to allow focus to building systems that honor individual differences
The liberation this brings—for students (who can trust the process) and mentors (who can stop trying to create something and start nurturing what’s already there)

This webinar is perfect for you if:

You have a child who doesn’t fit the conventional mold
You want to shift from standardized approaches to truly individualized mentoring
You’re struggling with a child who seems stuck or disconnected from learning
You’ve chosen homeschooling to honor your child’s uniqueness—but you’re not sure how to actually do that
You want to understand how to mentor different children differently without losing your mind

Afterward, you’ll walk away with:

New eyes—you’ll see your children differently, recognizing genius where you previously saw struggle
A framework you can use immediately—bringing clarity to decisions about what your child needs right now
Freedom from comparison—understanding that your child isn’t behind or ahead
Practical tools—specific questions to ask and ways to observe
Hope—knowing you’re not creating something from nothing, but helping unfold what’s already beautifully designed

Join us Thursday, January 16th, and learn to see the genius that’s been there all along.

Battling the Belt: Keeping the Conveyor Belt Mentality out of our LEMI Projects & Leadership Education with Leslie Leonard
2026-01-24 09:00 - 10:30 (America/Denver)
JANUARY 24TH, 9 AM MST FREE WEBINAR – REGISTRATION REQUIRED
You chose Leadership Education for a reason. Maybe you were tired of the assembly-line approach to learning. Maybe you wanted something that honored your child’s unique genius. Maybe you saw the promise of mentoring over teaching, of becoming over just knowing.
But here’s what nobody tells you: the conveyor belt mentality is sneaky. It creeps back in when you’re not looking—even in the middle of LEMI projects, even when you know better. Suddenly you’re comparing your child’s progress to everyone else’s. You’re focused on completion instead of transformation. You’re checking boxes instead of cultivating growth.
The conveyor belt trained us well, and its habits die hard. In this webinar, Leslie will help you recognize when the old mindset is taking over (even in small ways), understand what Leadership Education actually looks like in practice versus what the conveyor belt tells us it should look like, and learn practical ways to stay true to mentoring principles when everything around you pulls toward standardization and comparison. Whether you’re working through LEMI projects with your students or simply trying to keep your Leadership Education vision clear in a world obsessed with grades and benchmarks, this session will help you identify the conveyor belt thinking that undermines your best intentions—and give you tools to choose a different path. Join us and reclaim the freedom and transformation that drew you to Leadership Education in the first place.

FREE WEBINAR THURSDAY, MARCH 5TH, AT 6 PM MST

Your Student Can Pass Tests But Can’t Think

Principles That Change Homes with Nancy Jex
2026-03-21 09:00 - 10:30 (America/Denver)
Saturday, March 21st, 9 am MDT
Every parent who is paying attention wonders at some point: Am I doing this right?
Not out of self-doubt, but out of deep love. You care about your children and you want to be sure that what you’re doing is actually working — that the effort and sacrifice of educating them at home is shaping them into the people they were meant to become.
Family Foundations doesn’t answer that question with a checklist. It offers something better: a framework for seeing — your children, yourself, and the work you’re already doing — with greater clarity and confidence.
In this one-hour webinar, Nancy Jex will walk you through three of the core principles at the heart of Family Foundations, including why every child is a genius, how understanding developmental phases can transform your relationship with your children, and why your own growth as a parent matters more than any curriculum you will ever choose.
You won’t just hear about these principles — you’ll experience a taste of the Family Foundations learning environment firsthand.
Whether you’re curious about bringing Family Foundations to your community or simply looking for fresh inspiration in the work of educating your family, this webinar is for you.
Come ready to think, to share, and to be reminded that what you are doing matters.
Register today. Your families are worth it.

From 'I Have To' to 'I Want To': Building Students Who Own Their Learning with Heidi Christianson
2026-04-09 18:00 - 19:30 (America/Denver)
FREE WEBINAR, THURSDAY, APRIL 9TH, AT 6 PM MDT

Week After Week: The Same Excuses

Elaborate explanations. Half-finished work. Resistance dressed up as reasons.

You’ve tried consequences. You’ve tried rewards. You’ve tried different materials, stricter deadlines, and motivational speeches.

Nothing’s working.

Here’s why: You’re pushing when you should be inviting. You’re trying to control outcomes when you should be creating conditions for ownership.

In this transformative webinar, discover:

Why coercion creates compliance but invitation creates transformation
The four-stage progression that moves students from “I have to” to “I want to”
How to inspire without manipulating, invite without demanding
The sacred cycle that builds integrity—not just academic success

You’ll learn:

What to do when students resist (hint: it’s not push harder)
The difference between commitment you force and commitment they choose
Why reporting back only works when students have genuine ownership
How each cycle through this progression develops the ability to keep their word

Stop exhausting yourself trying to make students do the work.

Learn to create the conditions where they WANT to do the work—because they’ve chosen it, because it matters to them, because they’re becoming someone who keeps commitments.

Because integrity can’t be forced. It can only be forged through agency.

Your students are waiting to own their learning. Are you ready to let them?

Join Kami Harris on April 11th at 9 am MDT to learn a transformative shift in perspective that will change how you view your homeschool journey.

This encouraging webinar will help you recognize the wins you’re missing, celebrate the learning that’s actually taking place, and find renewed confidence in the unique education you’re providing. Walk away with practical tools to silence the comparison trap and see your homeschool—and yourself—with fresh, appreciative eyes.
