Q. What is Life Coaching?

We have an entire page devoted to answering that question. Click here to find out why and how having a personal coach can be of great value to you.

Q. There are Several Good Coaches around.
Why should I come to you?

Not only are there some good coaches around, there are some excellent, high-profile, very successful coaches around. Check these two websites and you'll see what I mean: http://www.philiphumbert.com° and http://www.optimalthinking.com/index.htm.°

If you are asking, "Is what I'll get from others any better or worse than what I can get from Joy 101 Coaching?" the answer depends upon your perspective on life and upon what you are looking for. To say someone is better or worse than someone else is often a highly subjective, personal judgment. As coaches, each of us simply offers guidance for our own unique perspective.

Here's our suggestion: Examine our web page titled, How Joy 101 Life Coaching is Different from Other Coaching Services. Check out several different coaching services, and then choose the one that feels right to you.

We feel we are among the best. We are sufficiently confident in the quality of our services, that if you are dissatisfied with Joy 101 Life Coaching, the money you've given to us will be returned to you.

Q. I can change on my own. I've even got
your book to guide me. What do I need you for?

Can you make changes on your own? Of course you can! So can almost everyone else who is not mentally of physically handicapped. The question is not, can you...? It's "Will you..." It's not about ability. It's about commitment, persistence, and integrity with your self. And then it's about recommitment, recommitment, and recommitment -- as many times as it takes and for as long as it takes.

If you can re-invent yourself without my assistance, please do so. Unfortunately, it's extremely difficult for most people to make significant changes in their lives on their own while living in their old environment and associating with the people who helped them focus on creating what they no longer want.

If you think you can do this on your own, we suggest four steps: first, find a partner to study with and for mutual support, second, find new friends who are in harmony with your new goals, third, stop viewing and listening to stories about experiences you don't want to have in your life, and fourth, let us show what we have to offer by calling us for a free introductory session: 818/727-0727.

Q. What stands between most people and success ?

Most (if not all) human problems stem from three primary root causes:

1) Lack of Information:

Many people simply do not know the rules of intentional creating. As a result, they create by accident or by default -- often ending up with the exact opposite of what they want.

2) Misinformation:

All of us have been filled with an overwhelming amount of misinformation. Much of what we take for granted as real has nothing to do with reality.

and

3) Lack of Action:

We often know what to do, why to do it, and even how to do it, but we either can't or won't take the required action.

Q. How does Joy 101 Coaching deal with those problems?

Joy 101 Coaching treats root causes and not symptoms. We teach the rules of intentional creating. We show you the illusions and misinformation which hold most of us as prisoners in jails without walls. We invite you to see if any of those illusions are controlling your life. You'll also be invited to look, with an open mind, at both sides of some controversial issues so that you can come to your own conclusions about what is true and what is simply someone's story.

Q. Sex and relationships are big issues.
Do you deal with those issues?

Most definitely! Because humans are by nature, social creatures, relationships are a major area where coaching can make a significant difference in your life. All Robin's coaching clients receive a free copy of his latest book on relationships called "The Yoni Dance".

The The Yoni Dance book also deals with an issue that, in most circles, is a taboo topic for discussion -- and that topic is the relationship between sex and spiritual consciousness.

Q. I'm sick of people telling me I'm wrong.
Will you try to fix me?

Definitely not! There is nothing wrong with you, and there's nothing about you that needs fixing -- but, it's not that you are perfect either. Joy 101 Coaching is not about fixing anything. It's about learning the laws of intentional creation and focusing on who you choose to be. It's about tapping into your undeveloped potential.

If someone has a problem with who you are or with what you do, (as long as you are not harming someone else) that's their problem. Leave it to them.

Q. What will your coaching sessions do for me?

Everything and nothing. Coaching is like any other tool; it only works if you use it. If you think I or any other coach is going to do anything for you, you're in for a big disappointment. Life coaching is, in many ways, similar to any other type of coaching. For example, a basketball coach doesn't play the game for you, he (or she) shares his/her mastery with you. A Life coach guides you, offers suggestions, and keeps you on track, etc., but you still have to play the game yourself. Please see the page titled: What is Life Coaching to find out why and how having a personal coach can be of great value to you.

Q. I've heard so many conflicting religion-based stories.
How can they all be right?

They Can't! Look at this question from the perspective that every one of us has a vision of the truth, but none of us has the complete truth. We get into trouble when we claim our piece of the truth is the complete and only truth.

We become like the three blind men in the Sufi story about examining an elephant. One blind man, while touching the the elephant's side, declared that an elephant was like a wall. The second touching its leg, declared an elephant was like a tree, and the third blind man, while holding on to it's tail declared an elephant was like a snake.

All three were correct, and, at the same time, all three had very distorted perspectives of an elephant. The significance here is not in what each blind man said about the elephant. it's in what they didn't say. Commonly, human distortions stems from experiencing a small portion of the truth and then proclaiming that that very small and limited portion of the truth is the whole truth.

If you continued this elephant analogy, you could probably come up with several dozen more equally limiting ways to describe an elephant. When you substitute God for elephants in this analogy, the possibilities become infinite.

This leads us to an obvious conclusion: "Any god that fits inside of only one religion has to be an incomplete god." As Shakespeare put it: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your
philosophy."

Q.   Because your coaching process touches some core
        spiritual principles, I'm compelled to ask: Will
      coaching sessions may weaken my religious faith?

Absolutely not!   Regardless of what religion you presently practice, if you are secure in your belief that:
      1) there is a divine creator,
      2) that we are each a vital part of that creation and
      3) that we live beyond the demise of our physical bodies,
then your faith will be strengthened by allowing your mind to participate in your religious faith.

When head and heart are combined, your religious faith becomes a co-created adventure of love, trust, truth, and wisdom all neatly combined into the physical form you see when you look into a mirror. That's an unshakable combination.

The outward structure and expression of you faith may change, but your inner knowing and your connection to the timeless, universal truths will be strengthened. While lies fall apart under close examination, the truth is strengthened by being questioned and challenged to prove itself.
