Become a Certified Joy Is The Key Coach
Feel good first. Everything else follows.

Joy Is The Key (JIK) has a community full of people who understand these principles deeply. I’m creating a way to recognize that understanding, put a real coaching standard around it, and make it official!
You bring your own voice, experience and ways of working. JIK gives you a shared foundation: feelings as guidance, relief before action, kindness and honesty with every client, and the client’s own alignment at the center.
I’m opening a small founding cohort for people who want to become Certified JIK Coaches and offer their coaching inside the JIK community!
There are two ways in, and you’ll walk the one that fits you. If you already coach, this is a fast track: show me how you work, align it with the JIK standard, get certified, and start offering your coaching here. If you’ve been helping people informally and want to make it real, I’ll train you live, step by step, until you’re ready!
Certified JIK Coaches get:
- Live training and coaching practice with me in a small founding cohort.
- Certification after showing you can coach to the JIK standard.
- The ability to offer paid coaching and promote it inside the JIK community, under JIK’s guidelines.
- Your own listing on authorofreality.com as a Certified Joy Is The Key Coach, and a turn in my monthly Coach Spotlight post in the group.
- A place in a growing community of JIK coaches.
- A yearly renewal that keeps the certification current and the standard meaningful, with the standard written down and applied the same way for everyone.
The founding cohort starts the week of November 2, and applications close Friday, November 6, the day before the first session. The founding price is $997, or 3 monthly payments of $349, and it includes your training, your certification and your first year. After that, a yearly renewal of $297 keeps your certification current and your place in the community. Later cohorts will be priced higher as the program grows. The first group stays intentionally small, so I can work directly with every coach.
Here’s how it works: you apply below, I read every application myself, and if it’s a good fit I’ll send you a personal link to claim your seat. Your seat is your place in the training, and certification comes when you show you can coach to the JIK standard.
Applying is free and easy! Tell me about yourself below and I’ll write back personally.
Certification gives you training, a credential, and permission to promote your coaching within the JIK community under its guidelines. Certification does not guarantee clients, revenue, or income. The coaching practice you build is yours.
