Mimicking The Masters

Welcome to Episode 9 of our Monday Monologues. In this episode, I’ll discuss a very powerful and underrated accelerator to getting to where you want to go, wherever that might be, professionally or personally.

And to illustrate this powerful method, I’ll tell you the story of Tony Robbins… I am sure most of you have heard of Tony Robbins… Today, he is probably the most famous personal development coach, motivational speaker and author.

In his early years, Tony Robbins was fascinated by the concept of modelling, a principle he learned from the work of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) co-founders, Richard Bandler and John Grinder.

One of NLP’s principles focuses on the potential to achieve rapid personal change by modelling the behaviours, thought processes, and strategies of highly successful individuals. Tony Robbins started applying these methods in his own practice as a coach… He studied videos and recordings of top performers and influential speakers, dissecting their patterns, tonality, body language, and communication structure.

He understood that to accelerate his path to success, he needed to absorb and replicate the essence of what made these individuals exceptional.
