So, what message are they trying to send to the team? Like "get in the mood, we are gonna do some "work" ;)"

also,, I have never heard of this. Is it still "alleged" or is it confirmed and judged? I'm not against the idea or thought of it being possible, but then again I could say that about everyone. I like facts.

I always thought Robbins was a d*ck. He's a sex offender too?

Well apparently he is certainly accused of it: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katiejmbaker/four-more-women-accuse-tony-robbins-of-sexual-misconduct. Although, the article is from 2019 and I don’t know what has happen since about the case.

He might just be trying to 'awaken your giant within'. Crush those revenue goals with a literal pipeline!

Had to do a quick google search. Definitely got some allegations against him, but for now, that's all they are.

Innocent until proven guilty imo.

He did bring a case against BuzFeed for defamation because of the articles accusing him of sexual abuse. The only case I found against him was discrimination against an employee because of COVID.

Mind you, I didn't go far in my research.

I’m fine with people hating on Tony Robbins. But the sex offender shit is fake as fuck. I looked into it and couldn’t find a shred of evidence beyond one click baity article from Buzz Feed of all sources.

Many people like Tony Robbins. I think he is a big jerk.

The article is a poorly written hit piece. It takes the use of

Adlerian psychology out of context.

People can get stuck, scared, and defensive. They find excuses not to change. The excuses we make become a deep rut.

Adlerian psychology puts out the belief: You can change anytime -- you just choose not to.

Tony Robbins can call out some of the excuses people use. Sometimes - he is spot on. Sometimes he is a real self righteous jerk about the matter.

Either way -- that is not a sex offender.

If Tony Robbins had sex with audience members ... and it was consensual -- that is not a sex offender.

Big jerk -- yes.
Sex offender -- no.

...

For more on Adlerian psychology

read: The courage to be disliked. (book, by

Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga.)




.....

Clickbate articles are horrible.

I started using a reader app (Instapaper or Matter) to put articles aside and take a second look at what I choose to read.

A lot of articles look appealing in the moment yet are a complete waste of time.
