The Year That Was: 2023

EOY 2023 Highlights Blog Header - KWKC

Here at KWKC we’re committed to empowering young adults so they can find their life missions and unlock their greatest potential.

And we practice what we preach. That means we have to work toward our greatest potential, too, and in order to do that, we set some pretty big goals for 2023.

Thanks to the support of our donors, coaches, and instructors, we set records in our three pillar programs: events, coaching, and scholarships!

2023: Setting Events Records

We knew that in order to empower more young adults to achieve their goals, we had to start with the foundation: Quantum Leap events.

In 2023, we celebrated:

2023: Setting Coaching Records

Each young adult ages 18–28 who attends a QL event is encouraged to apply for our three-month coaching program. Those who are accepted receive personalized guidance from a KW MAPS or Business MAPS coach.

In 2023, we were able to award coaching to 40% more QL attendees than ever before.

The young adults in our coaching program receive six personalized coaching sessions, an invaluable asset for those building a business or working on their personal and professional growth.

2023: Setting Scholarship Records

After completing coaching, Quantum Leap graduates qualify to apply for Fund My Mission Scholarships of up to $10,000. These scholarships allow recipients to pursue their life’s mission and receive the financial support they need to turn their dream into reality.

In 2023, we awarded 60% more scholarships than in 2022, and increased total funds given by 65%.

Our Fund My Missions Scholarships aren’t limited to traditional uses. Though they can be used to help cover college tuition, scholarships can be applied toward certification courses, training programs, private lessons and coaching, and more.

We’ve funded dreams as diverse as voice lessons, comedy coaching, and watchmaking mentorships.

2024: A Year of Change

We never tire of witnessing someone’s Quantum Leap journey. And just like the young adults we work with, we’re committed to personal and professional growth in pursuit of our mission.

That’s why we’ve set our sights higher than ever before for 2024.

We can’t tell you much yet, but exciting changes are coming in February so you’ll want to watch your email for the big news!

There’s never been a better time to support the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs. You can give a year-end gift here.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. We can’t wait to see where 2024 takes us!

Scholarship Highlight: Breaking the Cycle of Poverty

August 31, 2023 in /by

Laura Henriquez grew up in a single-parent household in which her mom relied on government assistance to raise her four children. For a long time, the family held the belief that they couldn’t be self-sufficient.

But Laura is helping to change all that.

Learning to Align Your Goals

Laura wants to break the cycle and challenge people who share similar backgrounds to learn how to empower themselves through owning property and investing in real estate. She’s helping people in her community to build generation wealth and leave a lasting legacy for years to come.

After taking her first QL course through KWKC, Laura applied for coaching. She was matched with a KW MAPS coach who helped her learn to align her actions to her goals.

“The biggest thing I learned is: your goals have to align with your calendar. They have to align with your activity, and you have to break them down into measurable action steps and then you’ll see results.” —Laura Henriquez

A Scholarship to Fund Her Mission

After coaching, Laura applied for a KWKC Fund My Mission scholarship. We were thrilled to award her the funds for an 8-week Dale Carnegie course. The training she received there will help fulfill her mission by providing fundamental communications, networking, and real estate skills.

“Quantum Leap classes changed my business. Last year, I only did 4 deals, and this year I’ve done 17.” —Laura Henriquez

We’re proud to support such enterprising young adults, and we can’t wait to see what Laura does in the future!

A Look Back at QL Summit 2023

June 27, 2023 in /by

QL Summit 2023 may be over, but we’re still riding high from the incredible experience! 

Every year, we’re newly inspired by Quantum Leap and listening to the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs share their newfound life missions.

We hope you enjoy this recap!

3 Quantum Leap Quotes from Gary Keller

In the 1990s, Gary Keller realized that he was operating under specific systems and models that were leading him to repeated success. Eventually, he formalized his methodologies into what we now know as Quantum Leap. 

We are so grateful to have him join us every year at QL Summit to teach these systems to the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs.

Every minute of his all-day presentation is packed with actionable advice and compelling insights. Here are 3 of our favorite take-aways from Gary this year!

“Pick a purpose right now. The faster you choose, the closer you will get to the right one.” —Gary Keller

“If you’re unwilling to do whatever it takes within the boundaries of your values, you’re probably going to be disappointed.” —Gary Keller

“If you didn’t create yourself, somebody or something else did.” —Gary Keller

Empowering Young Adults through QL

Hundreds of young adults ages 18–28 joined us both in Austin and virtually to learn how to: 

  • Define their life’s mission
  • Release limiting beliefs
  • Embrace the systems that lead to living a BIG life

Here’s what just a few of them had to say about their QL Summit experience:

“When talking about writing the mission statement for your life, it’s easy to overthink and want to make it perfect. But when you just get it down to how you want to wake up and live your life every day . . . what does that look like to you?” —Tatum Teel

“Always remember to surround yourself with people who you believe are more powerful, more experienced, or “better” than you. These people will help pull you toward their direction. Never stop leveling up your life. Think big, dream bigger, build your desired life.” —Talia Hansen

“Quantum Leaping with Gary Keller 2023! 🚀💡✨ A mind-blowing experience filled with valuable insights and game-changing wisdom. Grateful for the opportunity to learn from the best and supercharge my personal development journey. Here’s to a future filled with endless possibilities!” —Safia Ghani

QL Graduate Spotlight: Josh Napier, Founder of 5Mile Watches

May 2, 2023 in /by

josh-napier-5mile-watches-website-header

Josh Napier supported himself through college. After graduation, he hoped to commemorate his hard work by purchasing a high-quality watch before entering the workforce. But exorbitant markups made most high-end watches unaffordable.

Josh knew that wasn’t right. So he set out to fix it.

Finding Guidance through Quantum Leap

Josh attended a free KWKC course of Quantum Leap (QL) for Young Adults and began to lay the groundwork for his future. After attending, Josh qualified for three months of free professional coaching.

“In the 3 months that [my coach and I] worked together, I made more progress than I had in the entire previous year. She kept me focused and accountable. . . . Without Dawn, I would likely still be spinning my wheels.“

⁠Josh uses a precise watchmaking technique called guilloche and needed special training to move forward. Unfortunately, there are only two people in the world who offer guilloche training, and the pandemic affected Josh’s ability to set money aside for his watchmaking education.

But thankfully, Josh qualified for a scholarship through KWKC! Josh’s Fund My Mission Scholarship allowed him to travel to Switzerland and attend one-on-one training under a world-renowned watchmaker.

“I am confident the resources and education from this KWKC Scholarship will set me on the path to become one of the world’s best watchmakers and help me bring awareness to American watchmaking.”

Revolutionizing the Watch Industry

Josh has now launched his business, 5Mile Watches. He is committed to keeping guilloche alive in fulfillment of his mission to empower young professionals.

“I want to transform the watch industry to bring attention to U.S watchmakers so that young aspiring watchmakers could have access to the resources, education and mentorship that I didn’t. I believe that anyone should have access to education and resources to execute and achieve their dreams if they are willing to work for it.”

You can find Josh on Instagram @5milewatches.

Looking Back on 2022

December 20, 2022 in /by

Record-Setting Year

KWKC is dedicated to empowering young adults to discover their life missions in order to unlock their greatest potential.

But we also must practice what we preach. That means we have to strive to unlock our greatest potential, too. To do that, we set some pretty big goals for 2022.

Thanks to the support of our donors, coaches, and instructors, we set records in our three pillar programs: events, coaching, and scholarships!

2022: Setting Events Records

We knew that in order to empower more young adults to achieve their goals, we had to start with the foundation: Quantum Leap events.

In 2022, we celebrated:

2022: Setting Coaching Records

Each young adult ages 18–28 who attends a QL event is encouraged to apply for our three-month coaching program. Those who are accepted receive personalized guidance from a KW MAPS or Business MAPS coach.

In 2022, we awarded coaching to more QL graduates than ever.

The young adults in our coaching program receive six one-on-one coaching sessions, an invaluable asset for those dedicated to their personal and professional growth.

2022: Setting Scholarship Records

After completing their coaching, Quantum Leap graduates qualify to apply for Fund My Mission Scholarships (FMM) of up to $10,000. These scholarships empower recipients to pursue their life’s mission and receive support turning their dream into reality.

In 2022, we awarded more scholarships than ever before.

FMM scholarships are not limited to traditional continuing education paths. Though they can be used to help cover college tuition, FMM scholarships can be applied toward certification courses, training programs, private lessons and coaching, and more.

2023: A Year of Potential

It’s truly incredible to witness someone’s Quantum Leap journey. Just like the young adults we support, we’re committed to personal and professional growth in pursuit of our mission.

That’s why we’ve set our sights higher than ever before for 2023.

We’ve got big plans, including:

  • Adding another coaching and scholarship period to ensure there are more opportunities for young adults to benefit
  • Increasing scholarship funds awarded by 33%
  • Impacting more young adults than ever through our events

There’s never been a better time to support the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs. You can give a year-end gift here.

Thank you for being a part of our journey.

QL Graduate Spotlight: Clark Nowlin, Founder of Golden Ratio Coffee

November 14, 2022 in /by

kwkc-clark-nowlin-ql-graduate-golden-ratio-coffee

After a trip to Seattle, Clark Nowlin discovered “low-roast coffee,” a light, low-acid brew that didn’t cause any of the stomach discomfort he experienced from his classic cup of joe.

He knew he’d never go back. But low-roast coffee was (and still is) very difficult to source. So Clark was left with just one option: make it himself.

From there, the concept for Golden Ratio Coffee was born—and Clark became an entrepreneur.

The Power of Quantum Leap

But Clark’s entrepreneurial journey actually began much earlier. Clark was one of the first young adults to experience Quantum Leap through KWKC.

 

“Quantum Leap was really one of the first impactful things. . . . [Something Gary says] that was perspective-shifting for me was, ‘If it’s to be, it’s up to me.’ That was something I never realized. Everybody else in the world who founded a company are people who are no smarter than me or you. They basically just realized that if things weren’t as they’d like them to be, they have the initiative and the power to personally make change.”

 

Watch Clark’s story of QL, entrepreneurship, and of course, caffeine!

 

Today, you can support KWKC’s mission to empower and equip the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs with the tools needed to remove limiting beliefs, take action, and live a big life.

As Clark says, entrepreneurship is a “perpetual kick in the pants.” Help the next generation of entrepreneurs like Clark find the guidance they need to turn their dreams into realities!
