Hanging Out With Friends
Monday, August 6th was BC Day here and some of us from Brunette Machinery got together at the Vancouver Convention Centre for the Tony Robbins and Friends, “Power of Success” show.
Six of us travelled downtown to experience the intensity, exuberance and excitement that embodies a Tony Robbins event. Along with 5000 other people, we were engaged in a motivating session that included stimulating talks by six renowned speakers who spoke on topics including communications, relationships, lifeskills and personal empowerment.
The speakers were interesting and each of them taught us something new or reminded us of a skill or practice that makes life just a little easier in some small way. One of our favourite sessions, was the presentation by Loretta LaRoche an internationally known stress expert. Loretta is in her eighties and she delivers her message with humour and insight. We were in stitches, and she left us wanting more.
Of course, the most motivating speaker was Tony Robbins himself. He sure knows how to get a crowd excited. We spent the last few hours of the day, clapping, yelling and feeling great. It was intense to say the least! We certainly all gained some insight into human behaviours, we were definitely motivated to reach new personal heights and we definitely all learned a little more about ourselves and each other.
It was a fun, exciting and passionate — a great team-building event. Thanks to Kirk for the opportunity!
Go Team Brunette!
