People Giving Successful Presentations Thousands Teach Advice Eslpod 0644 Cn

Most presentations only "attract" (interest and bring) a small group of people, such as the people who are "affiliated with" (connected to) a particular university, or the people who work in a particular organization or industry. However, people in the professional "speakers circuit" (all the people who travel around the country and the world making presentations to earn money) can attract hundreds or thousands of listeners each time they speak, earning thousands of dollars for their presentations.

One of the most popular "seminar" (workshop; presentation) presenters is Tony Robbins. He is a "self-help author" (someone who writes books to teach people how they can help themselves) and a "coach" (someone who provides advice and guidance) for individuals and businesses that want to be more successful. In his books, he tries to teach people how to find and use their own ability to become successful in whatever area of their life is most important to them.

Some of his presentations are just short speeches, but others are four-day seminars. In one of the seminars, he asks participants to walk "barefoot" (without socks or shoes) over "hot coals" (a black mineral that glows red when burning) to prove that people can do anything they "set their mind to" (are determined to do).

Robbins has met with many famous people, giving advice to well-known politicians, such as former President Bill Clinton, Mikhail Gorbachev, Princess Diana, and Nelson Mandela. He has also coached many athletes, including tennis star Andre Agassi and Serena Williams, among others. However, almost anyone can participate in his seminars if they have enough money to pay for them.
