Jai Flicker, Founder & CEO
Jai Flicker is the founder of LifeWorks Learning Center, as well as a master educator, thought leader and lecturer.
Jai began working with youth in 1999 through a non-profit called The Homework Club, where he began developing a unique approach to tutoring that blends traditional academic support with aspects of personal coaching and mentoring. He saw that working with the whole person helped foster greater psychological development and social-emotional maturation. He then founded LifeWorks in 2004 to more fully realize this integrated vision of educating youth.
Over the past two decades, Jai has continued to develop and refine the LifeWorks approach, integrating key insights and practices from the fields of mindfulness, positive psychology, attachment theory, and more. In addition to his extensive work with youth and parents, Jai has lectured both in the US and internationally. He is also a certified Mindfulness in Education Teacher and Qi Gong instructor, and has had the privilege of studying Mahamudra with Dr. Daniel P. Brown.
Jai earned his B.A. in Philosophy at UC San Diego. When he's not working to help empower the next generation, he enjoys life's precious moments in Lagunitas, CA alongside his wife, Yea, and their two children, Aden and Amara.
