About Me
Do you cling to the delusion that things will finally change after you clear your latest hurdles? Then you’ll be able to slow down and focus and be more present and happy. Have a better work/life balance. Have less anxiety and guilt and stress. Spend less time on trivial bullshit. Finally be able to utilize your greatest gifts and find your true purpose and make a bigger difference.
But this promised land keeps receding like a false horizon, doesn’t it?
I get it, because that was me. But it doesn’t have to be this way. With expert help, I finally turned things around. Now I love my life, and I’d love the chance to help you more fully love yours.
The key is to figure out what you really want. You might think this is simple–I want a more fulfilling career, less stress, more discipline–but these are actually only stepping stones. What you really want is deeper. It involves discovering who you are and how you relate to and value yourself. And no matter how smart or clever you are, you can’t figure all this out with just your brain.
This is what I call the “real work” because it empowers you to transform your life from the inside out. Once this is done, having things like a more fulfilling career and greater discipline is relatively easy.
Here is how a recent client summarized our work:
“Bob gave me invaluable practical tools, but far more importantly, he helped me discover who I am, what I really want, and how to get what I want.”
Who am I to do this work?
After earning a PhD in Biology, I poured my heart and soul into my academic career, excelled at it, then burned out. My joy and passion were fading, and my mental and physical health were declining. After watching several colleagues actually die while still unhappily grinding away at work, I vowed that this would not be my fate.
So I worked with a master coach and completed intensive training programs to learn how to get out of my head and transform my own life and help others transform theirs.

Working with Bob Cabin has been a deeply clarifying and grounding experience during a time when I found myself at a career crossroads. As a former academic turned life coach, Bob brings a unique combination of wisdom, empathy, and directness that helped me untangle long-standing patterns that were creating unnecessary stress in both my personal and professional life. Our work together helped me reconnect with my core values and gain clarity about the kind of work I want to be doingwork that aligns with both my skills and my sense of purpose. That shift in perspective reignited my energy and motivation, and Ive since taken tangible steps forward, including submitting a new proposal and reengaging with projects I care deeply about. If you're a professionalespecially one working in climate, science, public health, or nonprofit leadershipwho is feeling exhausted, stuck, or unsure of your next steps, I cant recommend Bob enough. He doesnt just help you set goalshe helps you return to yourself, your strengths, and your vision.

If you're looking to gain clarity in your professional or personal life, elevate your leadership, find better work-life balance, or simply become the best (and authentic) version of yourself, I highly recommend Robert (Bob) Cabin and N of 1 Life Coaching. Working with Bob was truly transformative. I appreciated, and benefited from his wisdom, care, openness, encouragement, positivity, ability to ask powerful questions, and outstanding listening skills. Bob has helped me build habits that support both my well-being and performance. He has taught me how to be more present in my personal and professional relationships and how to cultivate everyday joy. If you're considering working with a coach, do yourself a favor and connect with Bob. I promise you wont regret it!

I first met Bob in the winter of 2024 during a mindfulness and nature workshop he led at a retreat I attended. I appreciated listening to someone who was so passionate about his work and life experiences. In our very first one-on-one conversation, Bob listened attentively as I expressed my thoughts and dreams. He connected with me in ways I hadn't expected, using his own life stories to relate to my scattered ideas, which made me feel excited about my passions. At our next meeting, he provided me with an outline of goals and values that he believed I was striving to articulate. For the first time, my chaotic thoughts were transformed into a clear framework, empowering me to build on them and communicate with confidence. Over the past year and a half, I have embarked on a journey of significant life changes. Just a few weeks ago, we revisited that original outline. It was encouraging to see that despite the whirlwind of changes, I had remained true to my core goals and values and achieved many of them. I feel grateful for Bob's support and guidance. Having someone who listens with intention and offers genuine, constructive feedback has been a cornerstone of my progress on the path I'm on.

I cant overstate how transformative working with Bob has been for me. I started working with him during a major life transitionone of those seasons where everything feels uncertain, and the path forward is anything but clear. With compassion, clarity, and just the right balance of challenge and support, Bob helped me navigate that period with intention and confidence. He didnt just help me get through itHe helped me grow through it. I came out the other side with more clarity, alignment, and energy than Ive had in years. His coaching gave me practical tools, but more importantly, it helped me reconnect with who I am and what I want from my life. If youre facing a big transition or just feeling stuck, I cant recommend Bob highly enough. His no nonsense, deeply intellectual approach is just the right blend. Working with him was one of the best investments Ive made in myself.

Robert worked with me for over a year as I transitioned from an unsatisfactory career to one that is aligned with my values. I reached out to Robert on a whim, as I respect his academic research. I'm so glad that I did, as I found a wise and caring companion to accompany me on my career changes. His coaching style fit my needs perfectly--he is relaxed, interested, and has remarkable experience, including his own career journey that allows him to support his clients with insights that are rare and real. I cannot recommend Robert enough as a soul-filled and supportive coach.
