TEMPE, Ariz., March 22, 2021 /CSRwire/ - LifeGuides® announced its expansion of the company’s operations into Miami, in addition to its HQ in Phoenix and technology base in San Francisco. LifeGuides® is an HR benefit, which empowers employees to pick a certified Guide, who has successfully navigated the same personal growth or Life Challenge event faced now. During one-to-one sessions, with a trained and certified Guide, the client receives emotional support, useful life experience wisdom, and an authentic relationship. Employee families choose from a broad range of 200+ topics, organized in eight channels, such as “Emotional Wellbeing & Stress” or “Home Life & Family.”

As a burgeoning tech hub, Miami enterprises attracted venture capital investment exceeding $1B in 2020. With startup founders and investors advancing the area’s ecosystem, this modern tech epicenter has seen a phenomenal rate of migration, given its healthy lifestyle, no state income tax, and appealing metropolis. This has created a dynamic community eager for sustainable, yet agile collaboration, fueled by innovation.

“Miami has many incredible entrepreneurial assets already in place, which will accelerate LifeGuides® trajectory – such as an amazing talent pool, a vibrant and fast-growing tech scene, access to peer entrepreneurial organizations, and a favorable business climate nurtured by Mayor Suarez,” commented Derek Lundsten, President & CEO. “With our foundational vision to support ‘Business be a Force for Good,’ the energy of the city, its impassioned people, and the high quality of life centered around wellbeing, create the perfect match. Miami quickly became the obvious choice, as an east coast hub and global expansion gateway for LifeGuides®.”

Miami’s Mayor, Francis Suarez, noted, “I love the LifeGuides vision and purpose to support all people in developing greater purpose and wellbeing in their lives.  I can say first-hand that I want to be a Guide, since service is a core value of mine, and I believe in the desire to do good in our community, as we do well financially for all stakeholders.  LifeGuides®, and many other start-ups, are building in our city, and both myself and our Venture Miami Team welcome LifeGuides® wholeheartedly.”

LifeGuides® is a leader in the emerging “Transformative Technology” space, at the ready to fully support the intersection of wellbeing, technology, and human potential in enterprises worldwide. LifeGuides® has its cornerstone in social entrepreneurship and a foundation based in cultures of caring, and empathy, to positively impact employee happiness, joy, and engagement. LifeGuides® is about helping people thrive in all dimensions of their lives, as its trained community of certified Guides “walk with you in the best of times and the worst of times.” LifeGuides® is a radically new organizational Human Resources benefit, which is grounded in helping employees and their families thrive. LifeGuides® empowers employees to pick a well-suited Guide, as compared to an impersonal “customer service” experience. The Guide will have successfully navigated the same personal growth opportunity, or Life Challenge, that an employee faces now.  LifeGuides has received awards and recognition as an “Impact Challenge Global 1st Grand Prize Winner,” Awarded by Singularity University and Dr. Peter Diamandis, as well as HR Tech Outlook magazine as a 'Top 10 Employee Wellness Solutions Provider 2020.

Dan Kline, Sr. Director of Guides and Client Experience, along with Founder and Executive Chairman, Mark Donohue, are spearheading LifeGuides presence in Miami. Dan Kline noted, “the expansion of LifeGuides into Miami is an invigorating step in our growth plans, and I am thrilled to be a part of this flourishing entrepreneurial ecosystem. This city is undergoing a massive transformation and is poised to become one of the most exciting tech centers in the world. The vibrancy of Miami’s citizens combined with the innovation and thought leadership of the booming Miami tech scene are a match made in heaven, and bringing LifeGuides to support this massive and transformative vision was an easy decision.”
