A worldwide movement to teach, inspire, and put love into action — in our lives, our relationships, our schools, our workplaces, and our communities.
One movement. Many ways to make a difference.
The Love Effect is a worldwide movement that teaches and inspires people to love themselves, love others and bring more love into every part of life. Love is not just a feeling — it is something we can put into action. It shapes how we see ourselves, how we treat other people, how we raise our children, how we communicate, how we build relationships, how we work together and how we care for our communities. A compliment can change someone's day. A child who learns to recognize another person's value may grow into an adult who treats people differently. A workplace that teaches appreciation becomes a better place to work. When millions of people practice love every day, the effect can change the world.
Five quick taps. We'll show you which pathways and programs fit you — in the right order — including the speed dating night where you can practice it all in one evening.
Loving others starts with loving yourself. The Love Yourself pathway helps you recognize your value, build real confidence, understand yourself and the people around you, and grow into healthier relationships — with free tools, coaching and ways of seeing yourself that you can practice every day.
“You were amazing before you got here.”
Self-help, confidence and dating coaching with Dawn — plus six free tools you can use right now:
Understand yourself — and know just what to say.
Personology is a traditional, interpretive approach to reading personality from facial features. We offer it for self-reflection, curiosity and better conversations. Try it on yourself, or go deeper with The Art of Personology workbook and workshop.
Personology and face reading are traditional beliefs, not established science. Facial features do not scientifically prove personality, and face reading should never be used to judge or diagnose anyone.
Meaningful connection is a skill, and you can learn it. The Love Others pathway brings together Las Vegas speed dating for every season of life — PrimeTime for singles 35 and up, Now or Never for singles about 21 to 35, Pride Time for LGBTQ+ singles and 420 Speed Dating for cannabis-friendly singles — plus a dating app with a test that shows you how you date, and an online dating site where love comes first.
Three rooms, three vibes, one house. We don't seat you across from a stranger and ring a bell — every night starts with a lesson in how to engage, give and receive a compliment and present yourself. Then you practice it on 12 to 15 real dates.
You know who you are and you know what you want. A grown-up room and real conversation.
