This is a frank, spontaneous, unedited, late-night interview response to a question I was asked by Secretary.it magazine about “How does an assistant even begin to support someone like Tony Robbins. What does it take?” My response is about the role of the executive assistant supporting Tony Robbins. It is NOT a video about Tony Robbins per se. Beyond skills, it takes an enterprising mindset and a passionate heart to support someone like Tony Robbins.

If you are an executive who knows intrinsically that you can be getting much higher levels of support from your assistant, this video is for you. |
