For
the past three decades, Anthony Robbins has served as an advisor to leaders
around the world. A recognized authority on the psychology of leadership,
negotiations, organizational turnaround, and peak performance, he has been

His nonprofit Anthony Robbins Foundation provides assistance to inner-city
youth, senior citizens, and the homeless, and feeds more than three million
people in 56 countries every year through its international holiday
"Basket Brigade." Robbins has directly impacted the lives of more
than 50 million people from over 100 countries with his best-selling books,
multimedia and health products, public speaking engagements, and live events.
What
began as a young person’s desire to help individuals transform the quality of
their lives has grown into Robbins’ lifelong crusade as he is called on by
leaders from every walk of life-presidents, political leaders, advocates for
humanity, CEOs of multinational corporations, psychologists, peak performance
athletes, world-class entertainers, teachers, and parents. Since fathering the
life coaching industry, Robbins has produced the #1-selling audio coaching

Peace
Negotiator & Humanitarian
Robbins
was selected as Vice Chairman of Health, Education, and Science for the United
Nations Research Center for the International Council for Caring Communities (ICCC)
NGO. Working with the Organization of American States, the Carter Center, and
the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Robbins
participated as one of the members of the team that helped negotiate an
electoral solution for peace to the strife and conflict that have devastated
the Venezuelan people and their economy. Robbins has collaborated with
political and business leaders in diverse world communities such as South
Africa, England, Cuba, Panama, Venezuela, and the United States. Robbins has
also been a national spokesperson for the Wellness Community, a nonprofit
organization that provides support, education and hope to people with cancer
and their loved ones. Through participation in professionally led support
groups and educational workshops, people affected by cancer learn vital skills
that enable them to regain control, reduce isolation and restore hope,
regardless of the stage of disease. Through his strategies for "Leadership
in Times of Crisis" and his systems for "Indirect Negotiations,"
Robbins has participated in negotiations that have broken the patterns of
violence and de-escalated the rhetoric that invites it. Robbins has worked on
teams that not only help mitigate further devastation and facilitate peaceful decision-making
among conflicting parties, but also inspire conflicting parties to create a
mutually beneficial and compelling vision that is aligned with their respective
values, raising the standard by which they live. He is also the recipient of
the Timmie Award, given by the esteemed Touchdown Club of Washington, D.C for
humanitarian efforts.

Successful
Entrepreneur & Honored Business Strategist
A
successful entrepreneur, Robbins serves as Chairman of seven privately held —
in industries as diverse as hospitality, education, media production, business
services, and neutraceuticals, and he holds an interest in and strategically
directs a series of others. While diverse in characterization, all the
companies Robbins owns or is a partner in are geared toward Robbins’ creed of
improving the quality of life for people around the world: from Namale Resort
& Spa, the award-winning, 325-acre tropical paradise in the Fiji Islands,
to Twinlab Corporation, the highest-rated neutraceutical company honored in
2003 with the Consumer Satisfaction Award as Top Rated Retail Brand by
Consumerlab.com, an independent testing group. Robbins’ pursuit of creating and
contributing to a higher standard of living is reflected by one of his
subsidiary companies, Rebus Publishing, a leading consumer health and science
publisher that has been communicating healthy ideas for more than 25 years
through such avenues as the "UC Berkeley Wellness Letter" and
"Johns Hopkins Health After 50" newsletter. Robbins was also the
first individual in the personal improvement industry to surpass more than a
billion dollars in gross sales.
Leaders
and achievers already at the pinnacle of success in their respective fields
call on Robbins to be their strategic advisor when they face critical decisions
requiring creative options and a systematic evaluation of probabilities and
consequences. American Express asked its entrepreneurial clients whom they
would select if they could choose anyone in the world to personally coach them
to take their businesses to the next level if price were no object. Robbins was
chosen along with Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Warren Buffet, Lee Iacocca and Ross
Perot.
Philanthropist
A
founding strategist of the Presidential Summit for America’s Promise, Robbins
partnered in helping to design systems that generated over two million mentors
for young people throughout the United States. Four Presidents and Secretary of
State Colin Powell partnered with Robbins in the process. What began nearly 30
years ago as Robbins’ individual effort to feed two homeless families has now
grown into the Tony Robbins Foundation’s international holiday "Basket
Brigade," which feeds more than three million people in 56 countries every
year. His foundation has provided support or initiated programs in more than
2,000 schools, 700 prisons and 100,000 service organizations and shelters.
Almost 20 years ago, Robbins personally sponsored a class of disadvantaged
fifth graders in Houston, Texas, by becoming their personal mentor and sponsor
of their college education. In 2003, these student "Champions"
graduated from college—an experience that Robbins made possible. Each year,
Robbins oversees his foundation’s Discovery Camp, which helps more than 100
students from 18 countries design and initiate leadership programs to take home
to their local schools.
