The Visionary Living Leadership Story
Our Journey
Visionary Living Leadership was first incepted when the founder Rico Marlowe Sostre brought together a group of transformational trainers shortly after Covid-19 destroyed the event industry. People were no longer able to come together in large groups for scaled social events.
This newly formed team began to design a curriculum by fusing their experiences from different training centers; some of these centers provided different versions of the curriculum and even in different languages. This cross examination gave an opportunity to design a powerful version modeled after the Hero's Journey; VL trainers are committed to being part of the historical evolution of these trainings, through the sands of time.
Visionary Living has been working on the new curriculum since 2020 and have been patiently waiting for social norms to return. VL Leadership has facilitated trainings from New Orleans to Tampa Bay. So far the team has been able to offer a schedule for "in-person" opportunities starting 2023 in Tampa.
Our company is also proud to announce a "Trainer Development Program" that will be available beginning the summer of 2024. For those who are interested in a professional career in this niche type of facilitation, this is a prime opportunity to get started. Our trainer program is divided into 2 parts. The initial part offers fundamental and foundational concepts for curriculum design and facilitation. The second part is an internship with our company directly.

More than just Motivational Speaking...
Although our program may involve delivering educational content didactically, it is more than just a motivational speech. The industry that we identify with is called "Transformational & Experiential Learning." We deliver the information in a highly interactive way. Every attendee is expected to participate in all activities.
By "doing" certain exercises and then reflecting on personal participation, we can empower people in achieving a new level of awareness that can be practically applied to their personal lives. All of the discoveries that people have are personal; some of them may bring us to tears, while others create joy and laughter but all of them bring us a sense of gratitude and peace.
Book 1: Ordinary World
Book 1 of our program is called Awareness and is a combination of virtual and in-person weekends, called chapters. Each represent a part of the heroes journey.
Book 2: Activation
Book 2: Activation
These chapters happen in the "extraordinary world." It is where the hero will be tested and challenged. We redefine our internal and emotional paradigm over several weekends.
Book 3: Visionary Living
The final Chapters in Book 3 of our curriculum becomes an "actual" practice of the tools learned in your life outside of the training room walls. This is where the most practical results are.
VL Trainer Development
Our trainer development program brings together a variety of modalities that our company deems as important competencies to be able to facilitate experiential learning workshops.
OUR JOURNEY
Founded through Covid-19
Visionary Living Leadership was created with a commitment to serving the community. We provide insight as to how leadership can be applied to our personal lives as individuals. The 12 steps of the Hero's Journey truly creates a roadmap for people to evolve and transform at a phenomenal rate. Everyone has different goals but this group journey has a team oriented environment where all of the students support each other in creating the life of their dreams.
