Tony Robbins Continues To Lead at Leadership Academy

(Newswire.net — August 18, 2015) Franklin, TENNESSEE –” A true leader is someone who inspires others to become who they truly are.” Tony Robbins

The annual Leadership Academy, an Anthony Robbins event is coming up this weekend in San Diego, CA.

During this seminar, students will learn the tools that Tony Robbins has used for the last three decades to have immediate impact and create lasting change in themselves and in others. We will learn how to step into any situation and make a difference in the quality of our lives, and in the lives of others. 

As a founder of two companies The Irish Gift, Inc and Dúch Press Release Co (www.duchpr.com). it is important for me to be able to take control of my life regardless of anything in the external environment. This particularly applies to my work with The Irish Gift, Inc whose mission is to preserve an old style of traditional Irish music that is in danger of dying out.

To many people this endeavor may seem inessential and meaningless. What does it matter if a style of music from a small part of a county in Ireland becomes obsolete? How does that affect anyone’s day-to-day life, the paying of bills, getting to and from work and juggling a family schedule?

The reality is that, with all the activities listed above, juggling work, home and family, most people are trying to pursue something in the future.

Maybe if we had a way or an activity to remind us of what we already have right now then we would feel differently as we move through our daily lives.

When we take a moment to think about all the people down through the generations who have taken the time to pass on a gift to someone else, it is unavoidable that we slow down for a moment and that we connect with our feeling of gratitude. For me it was my dad and Eddie Kelly. As children we are shaped and influenced by our parents and teachers. We pick up and integrate into our beings, the times when they are happy, sad ,worried or playful. Thats just how we are designed as human beings. Our parents have enormous power to influence how we experience and approach life. We take our lead from them.

I spent many happy hours with daddy and Eddie Kelly, learning different tunes and honing and refining the style so that it became an authentic representation of the East Galway Irish Music Tradition. I remember the sense of achievement that I felt. I remember learning the concept of actually earning something from the disciplined schedule of daily practice which included a practice session before school in the mornings. All of these moments in time  began to amasse in my child’s mind and heart and ultimately they have spurred my desire to become a leader today.

Because in reality, I was surrounded by leaders and I too want to become a person of influence, someone with the power to awaken everyone around me. 

Leadership Academy 2015 features many formidable speakers including Joseph McClendon III, Robyn Benincasa, Cloe Madanes, Jan Hargrave, Mark Divine and Sid Jacobson. They bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to the table including how to apply principles of empathy, language and negotiation to everyday situations, How to Read Body Language and The Power of Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

Tony Robbins’ idea of leadership is simple. It is about having a vision bigger than yourself, bigger than this moment. Leadership is about making your vision a reality.

This weekend I am excited to learn new skills and tools that will empower me to magnify my passion; my passion to extend in this life, through creativity, of living each day from my authentic and abundant source and to be of service to others whenever possible.
