No. To maximize the value of the trainings, you will be asked not to drink alcohol or take any non-prescribed, mood-altering drugs during the workshop. If you are dependent on alcohol, marijuana or other similar, non-prescription drugs, and cannot go without these for five days, we recommend that you not participate in the Breakthrough workshop at this time. WorldLegacy is a coaching company for people committed to extraordinary lives and, as such, is not designed to assist people to deal with problems such as alcoholism or chemical dependency. If you need support in this area we encourage you to seek qualified professional help.
Are the workshops appropriate for those with alcoholism and/or other chemical dependencies?wl_admin_rob2016-07-02T15:45:53-04:00
Yes. The workshops are unlike the standard lecture-oriented seminar or classroom education we are used to. Being uncertain and even skeptical are natural feelings that arise during the process of self-examination, questioning, and decision-making. It is likely that your considerations -those things you consistently give consideration to before making a decision -are similar in all areas of your life, whether you’re making a decision to take the workshops, change your career, start a relationship, or make any other important life changes. The specific considerations common to you, and the ways in which you have dealt with them, along with how you would like to deal with them in the future, are actually a part of the process of beginning the workshops.
I am apprehensive. Is this a common feeling?wl_admin_rob2016-05-07T02:57:50-04:00
No. WorldLegacy is a company. It is a secular business with no ties to any religion. Our workshops are not faith-based, but honor and respect the world’s religions and spiritual traditions. In our workshops we provide an opportunity for open dialogue on some of life’s questions. These are often the same life questions and values that are explored in religion, in philosophy and in everyday teaching, such as honesty and trust, choices, personal responsibility, integrity, and so forth. This exploration can create an opportunity for workshop participants to examine their beliefs and, to deepen their personal faith. To that end, some participants may actually experience an enhanced sense of spiritual connection. Our coaching curriculum is designed to be compatible with any worldview or faith. We do not provide counsel on matters of religious belief nor ask that anyone change their religious beliefs. We believe that religious questions are appropriately addressed within the faith communities.
Are you affiliated with any religious groups or other organizations?wl_admin_rob2016-10-18T13:40:23-04:00
The curriculum attracts a diverse group of people from various ages, ethnic backgrounds, careers, and interests. These are usually people who thrive on living life fully, learning, and growing. Our graduates span corporate, non-profit, and educational organizations, i.e. sales, health care, research, education, government, legal and financial services. Careers range from CEO’s to retirees, teachers, athletes, artists, students, parents, community leaders, pastors, rabbis, professors, attorneys, health professionals, technical professionals, and small business owners, to name a few. The minimum age is 18 years old and there is no upper limit.
What types of people do the workshops?wl_admin_rob2019-01-25T01:45:58-05:00
Participants are asked not to disclose or share the experiences of others who are in the training with them, for reasons of personal privacy. They are also requested not to share the specific processes used in the training in order to preserve spontaneity and new learning opportunities for future participants. However, they can share their own experiences.
Why are graduates not allowed to tell me the content of the workshops?wl_admin_rob2018-12-28T22:05:40-05:00
No. Like any organization, we are delighted when our graduates are happy with their experience and enroll their friends and family. Most graduates are excited to share themselves with the people in their lives.
Is providing referrals or bringing guests to guest events mandatory for graduates?wl_admin_rob2016-05-07T02:11:20-04:00
To facilitate the workshops, trainers usually apprentice a minimum of three to four years with a master trainer. Trainer candidates learn the role of the facilitator by spending literally hundreds of hours in a live workshop environment, modeling the ways of thinking, speaking, and interacting of senior facilitators. This is a rigorous process that demands not only intellectual understanding, but also internalizing the principles of the workshop fully at emotional and experiential levels. Trainers are master coaches and most of them have advanced degrees in a variety of subjects. The trainers we use have presented the material across the nation and worldwide and have over 15 years experience.
Who are the trainers?wl_admin_rob2018-12-28T22:06:34-05:00
We are not comfortable and do not usually move slowly. We invite you to join us on the skinny branches and risk for your dreams. Be comfortable when you watch a DVD. Be uncomfortable when you live your purpose. It’s worth it. “Get busy living, or get busy dying.” – The Shawshank Redemption, 1994. We have also never been described as boring. Challenging, brutally honest, outrageous, thought provoking, excellent, rigorous, intelligent, and bold-these more accurately describe us.
