Robbins Conquers

Being an NLP trainer (under Richard Bandler) means I have to hear lots of crap about Tony Robbins. I disagree with most of it, not because I like Tony’s work (not my thing, really), but because I think he does his work extraordinarily well, and I have a fetish for things done extraordinarily well.

Proof: below is a talk Tony did at TED, where he is in front of a room of people that are better-educated and (probably) more accomplished than he will ever be. And he kills. Mercilessly.

(Note to NLPers: notice the self-reference when he says “resourcefulness.” Also, pay attention to how Robbins asserts his dominance over the room by calling Al Gore a son of a bitch. Lastly, listen to the change in energy during his compliance testing — that’s a master at work, folks.)
