I really appreciate the kind words and am honored to hear that this article resonates with you. Hello Jason, Hey Sarah! And as with the teacher plants, the real work begins after the psychedelia, or after we return from the seminar or weekend retreat and that buzzy high it may have given us. She felt torn down and then rebuilt in Tony’s mold. I love that I spent a good 5 years brainwashing myself with self-help and personal development. I appreciate your points and I have to say that what I’m learning from Tony Robbins and Cloe Madanes is helping me to grow and to help others in caring, clear ways that honor who they are and what they want. I will keep on writing about my experience and creating products that help with certain areas like productivity or taking charge of your life. yes thats all that matters, so the bottom line focusing on a healing process(any One) and staying committed to it for a long time 2 years gives you bigger results than on a self development technique which gives you instant results or gives you an improvement in only a small sector of your life. These small changes include: So far, all of that is legit. They were strategic picks, not organic. I think that is because, having circumnavigated planet therapy myself I know there’s no such thing as a quick-fix or a quantum leap and I only hope that man left an interval between overcoming stammering and subjecting himself to such exposure and did not experience trauma/setback from it. If he says that you must put in the work to achieve the change you desire after making the decision, then he is speaking from the heart. I found this article a myopic, self-serving attack on a man who has helped millions. Bad habits must be replaced with better habits, habits that meet more than 3 of our basic human needs. We must learn to discern when something applies to us, and when it doesn’t. After 20 minutes of “wooshing” I felt like a complete jackass. If I could hug you right now I would! You. The over-emphasis on positive thinking I had been studying inadvertently led me to feel worse when I wasn’t feeling/being positive. Unfortunately. However we may choose to be content, complacent and tell ourselves we are happy. What I see the most of is Magic based Abundance type courses that throw an illusive net around people who are already struggling and charge them high fees for promises of miracles. Not only did I learn practical things about investing, but I also learned the value of money — and the philosophy behind money. Only when we have discovered that which we have to sacrifice in order to be different will we decide to do it. . He reinforces that, his team reinforce that. Hilarious. You don’t know me. He starts to blur the line between reality and fiction when he states that someone’s life can, “Change in a moment.” We all know that enduring change doesn’t happen in a moment; it takes time. . This article does feel a bit character abusive-y. I decided to share about my negative emotional charge and my story about what happened. Sure, but it could happen. But, i’m corious, what are your ways of works which make a difference? We really are limitless and powerful beyond what we realize. The research in psychotherapy indicates that most of a good outcome from therapy comes from the work put in by the client. When there is an apparent quantum leap it’s usually a result of all we had been working towards, not an overnight miracle I expected the message to be same/similar but even the same stories and audience interactions, including the dramatic pause for effect…mirror image. It’s a shame the incorrect spelling of ‘neuro linguistic programme’ distracted me from appreciating the credibility I thought the article was going to have. I’m angry. The lack of true real transparency is missing from the coaching world. The one area I will have to disagree is with the comment about NLP. I try to never use the word coach, mentor, or guru. I do not appreciate him saying: Just approach everything with a beautiful state. Coaches who are focused on specific areas of development tend to be more aware of their own limitations. I am not an expert nor am I a certified or qualified coach however my vocational and tertiary qualifications along with work and life experience have allowed me to mentor others in areas where I have ‘managed change’ with relative success and supported others (including my children) to move through difficult paths and choices. It’s just important that they know the limits of their abilities and have decent ethical standards. They outline the limits of the coaching relationship. He's worked with everyone from sixth graders in Denver through senior administration members in Washington, DC. Big mistake and I should have known better. Because of that, a lot of people turn to expensive and unqualified coaches who have great marketing, but an inferior product. Thanks Bill, I really appreciate that. Lastly, I tell my clients that my work is done when they don’t need me any longer and I (as a coach) have an intrinsic motivation to get them to that point, because it shows me that the stuff I do works and really helped people. There are plenty of good people out there too, who practice what they preach and hold to high professional standards. It can be really a really useful tool to teach people how to communicate more effectively. I actually don’t want most people to hire me as any sort of coach or consultant. This means that I turn away over 90% of the people who want to work with me because I don’t feel qualified to help them. As anticipated the high wore off in a couple months. It would be amazing if we could just get someone to fix our problems for us, but we’ve got to do the hard work. It’s stunning how blinding charisma, confidence, and a microphone are. The coach will then begin promising things that she can’t possibly deliver. Most of these I attributed to the stress of trying to turn Mobility Mastery into a business that could support Stefan and I to have kids within a year. . Your “tricky question” is to set a statement which most people can relate to as most people have tried personal development and have failed in some way or another. have been sceptical of TR and many others and am so over all the claims on Facebook about changing your life, your body, your mind, your happiness. I’m a speaker/coach/consultant now, I used to work in mental healthcare. And thanks for the thoughtful response about NLP (which, weirdly has been one of the most controversial parts of the article, though it’s probably b/c I missed the mark there). I have one main path, with no flair or magical thinking (the Diamond Approach), that has me more committed to “being with what is” vs trying to fix what isn’t broken. There will always be an obstacle, hurdle, difficult person/situation in our lives. But i do want to defend NLP. I am a soul who attended Tony’s seminars and it has utterly changed my life for the better. I have had dozens of experiences in my life that were nothing short of miraculous if one limits explanation of what is possible to a mechanistic theory of physics. For more than 4 decades, more than 50 million people have enjoyed the warmth, humour, and transformational power of his business and personal development events. Spot on buddy…BOOM! If we try to run from it or pretend it’s inessential, we betray our true nature. I love Tony’s energy, tips on PRP and other modalities for injury recovery and his charitable work. I don’t think that is a good environment for solving your trauma or persistent issue. So any good advice can become bad advice for a particular person or situation. You are simply using his popularity to get attention. Maybe, like me, you’ve had no idea until now that a huge part of this pollution problem is mercury (read: a known NEUROTOXIN) being pumped into the atmosphere. One of my biggest issues with Life Coaches is that they are not regulated by any ethical standards or background investigation and can do significant damage to others. If you do not know about this approach – or would like to know more – there are a vast supply of free resources – https://www.facebook.com/groups/208792172910859/, Thanks for your post and for the great discussion – Anne. I only be your guide. So I actually came home feeling worse than before only to be bombarded daily by the Facebook feed of the people whose lives were transformed!

What is often missed is that this pure chaos makes us beautiful. i did not buy the scientific endorsement. The audience members feel as though they just uncovered the deep-rooted secret about what’s holding them back from the life they “deserve.”. People, this whole personal growth process is about trusting YOURSELF. In the end, I think it is always helpful to try to create more informed consumers. I actually think Robbins is well intentioned and gifted in many regards. treatment for any illness or medical condition, nor is it the intent of the authors and publishers to diagnose or prescribe. If more people shared and wrote similar articles about the Personal Development and New Age/Spirituality field people would never believe it. I wasn’t going to wait for them to do it. Tony is definately charismatic in person, and he is the first to say he ‘models success’. Tons and tons and tons of people fall for this stuff (I’ve met a few very influential people who were wrapped around Robbins finger, feeding money and energy). I agree. initially the changes were minor a small ease but i liked it and did it on a daily basis. Bjarke – I’m with you on that one.
