Business guru Tony Robbins to lecture in TA

- • By EMMA MCAVOY

Celebrity American business guru Tony Robbins – lecturer, facilitato­r, entreprene­ur and consultant – is coming to Israel to give a lecture at the Menorah Mivtachim Arena on October 4.

Considered the world’s No. 1 expert for realizatio­n in personal and business empowermen­t, Robbins is also a best-selling author of various life and business strategy books, including Unlimited Power and Awaken the Giant Within, which have been translated into dozens of languages.

More than four million people have attended his seminars via his Leadership Academy Seminar that he founded in 1997. He has advised such A-listers as Oprah Winfrey, Bill Clinton, Serena Williams and Kanye West.

Earlier this year, Robbins was accused of sexually harassing fans and staffers following an investigat­ion by Buzzfeed news. Robbins denied these accusation­s in a direct response to Buzzfeed.

In 2018, Robbins criticized the #MeToo movement by saying some use it to try to earn significan­ce by attacking somebody else’s reputation. The self-help guru later posted an apology on Facebook for his criticisms, claiming he didn’t mean to suggest anything other than his “admiration” for the #MeToo movement.

Robbins’s life-training methods have long been popular with Israelis, who frequently participat­e in his lectures. In 2016, Netflix released Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru, a documentar­y that chronicled his seminar “Date With Destiny,” attended by more than 2,500 people in Boca Raton, Florida.

Ticket prices to the charismati­c speaker’s Tel Aviv lecture begins at NIS 900.
