I write in a journal daily. This extraordinary ritual has revolutionised my mindset, transformed my heartset and generally influenced my life exponentially. I want the same results for you. Period. And so, with deep care and the highest of focus, I recorded a new Mastery Session where I literally deconstruct my personal practice of journaling in to 7 compelling reasons to start today. Hope this helps you rise to your best and lead your field. I've got your back. Let's fuel your greatness. Robin

How To Add 100 Years To Your Life
Learning from the giants injects their knowledge into your brain. Associating with massively intelligent people and uncommonly successful performers, through their books and other content, infuses all they've understood into your days. What I'm suggesting to you is that you can add 100 years of greatness/wisdom/value and insight into the rest of your life by installing what I call "The Daily 60 Minute Student Habit" onto your schedule. I recorded this Mastery Session to walk you through my latest thinking on the power of curiosity as a way to winning. Remember: Education is inoculation against disruption. And as you know more you can produce better. Be great. Stay strong. Reach for genius. Robin
The Small Win Principle For Maximum Performance
One of the best skills you'll ever hardwire into your mindset + heartset is the skill of undefeatAbility. For years I've talked about "grit" being a primary trait of the most successful people in business and the corresponding research of Angela Duckworth at University of Pennsylvania. Bottom line: it's not the brightest who wins. It's the most relentless. In this new #MasterySession, I dial into a research study of 12,000 managers and the one thing they did that created their best performing days. I'll also teach you my "Nightly 3 Ritual" which will boost your confidence, elevate your momentum and breed a Pharmacy of Mastery in your brain. Watch it here: Thank you to everyone across the planet watching The Mastery Sessions, using them at team meetings to grow market-leading organizations and sharing them with their friends to help them improve their lives vastly. I handcraft each episode with a ton of care, passion + love. Happy they've been so helpful to so many. And I promise to work even harder, to make them even better for you. All green lights. Your fan always, Robin
What is Leadership/How Great Leaders Think
Much of my life has been a devotion to a simple expression: you can lead without a title. The old model of leadership taught us that to lead meant the need to have a formal position, high authority and a big office. But we're now in Leadership 2.0. And if you want your organization to win. And if you want your craft to fly, you absolutely need to learn to show brilliant leadership without relying on a title [or needing one]. So, if--on this precious day of your massively important life--you're amped/excited and set to learn: --how the best leaders think --ways to leap from victim to world-builder --why growing more leaders is Job #1 --my popular "3 I Practice" for creating a culture of people who lead versus coast that has inspired my clients to scale great companies... Remember, what you do every day is x100 more important than what you do once a year. And the finest leaders + the fastest performers all make the time to learn + grow daily. Why? Because as you know more you'll achieve more. And as you become better, you'll experience greater. So definitely watch, study and then deconstruct [I'll do a video sometime on how I deconstruct insights as it's such a potent practice] this episode. Ok. Hope this helps. Go be great! With love + respect, Robin
A Method to x100 Your Productivity
How did Jobs + Musk, Dali + Kanye, Mandela + DaVinci do it? Yes they worked their crafts, invested in their acumen, found the right mentors and exercised the grit to get their audacious visions done. But one thing every single icon who has ever graced our precious planet has had in common is the ability to install systems that release their greatest productivity. Having worked with many billionaires as a leadership + elite performance advisor, I've watched how they do what they do. And I've taught them a series of "peak performance protocols" that have caused them to x100 their results, impact and contribution. These remarkable powerful proprietary systems I've created include: --The 90/90/1 Rule --The Tight Bubble of Total Focus Strategy (TBTF) --The A-Player Orbit Mentality --The Learned Minimalism Philosophy I hope this Mastery Session serves your productivity beautifully. With love + respect, Robin

If you want to grow your confidence, creativity, productivity and prosperity exponentially you really need to watch this new Mastery Session where I walk you through 5 of the most valuable and result-driving leadership principles you will ever learn. I encourage you to not only watch the episode a few times but go deep into it. Deconstruct it. Study it. Reflect on it in your journal or on your whiteboard. In a world where a superficial approach is most common, go rare-air. Be rigorous around the insights. Dial in on them. Master them. And definitely post a comment after you've gone through the podcast so I can read your thoughts on it. With love and respect, Robin

THANK YOU: Millions of people have downloaded The Mastery Sessions, my new podcast, since I started releasing episodes just a few months ago. It all started off as an idea and it's becoming a revolution. I feel vastly blessed to be able to help + inspire + serve. Truly.
How To Stay Ultra Inspired
I've advised famous billionaires, top NBA stars, music royalty and some of the most successful entrepreneurs on the planet at my annual flagship event, The Titan Summit. If there's a single trait they all have in common it's the "developed ability" to remain inspired not only when conditions are easy but (especially) when everything's falling apart. I call it a "developed ability" because keeping the passion in terrifying times is a muscle, a skill that grows greater with practice. You CAN rise to world-class in your inspiration. You just need to commit. And then put in the training time. Daily. In this volatile world, with wholesale negativity, and many focusing on the worst of humanity, it has never been so important to learn how to protect your inspiration. This hot new Mastery Session, handcrafted with a lot of care and love for you, will help you do exactly that. Managing + maintaining your inspiration so you do inconic work, influence your field and lift our world isn't a "soft skill". Actually, it's really hard to stay focused, brilliant and productive in this Age of Dramatic Distraction. This new episode will walk you through some very practical skills to help you to remain at your best in the beautiful seasons and within the messy times. And then go own your game. And rock your craft! Hope all this free content-rich training I send over to you each week is helping you do amazing work, create a spectacular life and make your impact on all the human beings that will be served by your increasing greatness. With love + respect, Robin
The Importance of Becoming Famous
Well, if you want to learn: --the #1 reason to be relentless in becoming the icon of your field --how to be so revered at what you do that you need no introduction --why ego destroys exponential productivity --potent ways to dial in your psychology to become Michelangelo-level in your market --how to build a movement of Fanatical Followers... ...then definitely, carve out some time before this gift of a day is done to invest in your growth, increasing skill and best life by watching this new #MasterySession that I made with intense + immense passion. With lots of love, Robin
From a Job To a Craft
This Mastery Session is all about how to leap from a job to a craft. To lift your work from a job to a craft, install the perception that no work is ordinary.
How To Build A Team Of Picassos
Why am I doing this Mastery Session? Someone who was at The Titan Summit a few months ago told me, "The best idea that I got from the 4 day event was your concept of building a team of Picassos." In this episode I'm sharing some of my ideas on building a team of Picassos. These are not from a book I've read or from a conference I've been to. I've spent many years building multiple businesses, and I'll tell you, at my core business, I have the best team in place that I've ever had in the history of the company. What I'm going to share with you in this podcast hopefully will be a game-changer, but also will be incredibly practical because it's derived from tremendous experience. I mean, I have had to hire a lot of employees. I've had to let go of a lot of employees. I've dealt with difficult employees. I've got knocked down by some employees. I've been lifted up by a lot of employees. What I'm sharing from you comes from the heart, and it comes from the trenches. Here are 4 lessons to build a team of Picassos (+ 4 methods to help you keep them in your team)
5 Quotes To Lift Your Game
I truly believe that given the twin forces of globalisation + market disruption, it has never been so important to do your finest work and lead your professional field. You're competing against top talent across the world these days. And so only the best will thrive. I love great quotes. The right line can carry an entire book's worth of insight + impact. And so I've made this new Mastery Session for you where I share 5 of my favorite quotes to evoke your highest performance. Hope this helps. And please remember: little acts of progress performed each day with consistency cause vast improvements over time. Make today count. Your fan always, Robin
Uncommon Tactics to Become a Genius Communicator
Whether you lead a nation, an enterprise, a community or a family, we are all in the communication business. Knowing what to say, in the right way--at the perfect moment--can mean the difference between a world-class life and an average one. As I start building out new teaching models for The Titan Summit in Zurich this December, I spent a lot of time recently deconstructing what I've learned advising and witnessing many of the world's top leaders. And I've put my best insights as well as some super-practical strategies in this brand new Mastery Session. I know the information will really help you both in your work and at your home. But like all learning, it's not going to make a difference if you don't watch this video and then, even more importantly, start practising the concepts until they wire in as habits. Go be great. Robin

How To Forgive a Human Being
Forgiveness isn't just a blessing you deliver to another human being. Forgiveness is also a gift you give yourself. Too many potentially fantastic performers + rare-air leaders among us have left their best creativity, productivity and impact on the table of broken dreams because they stayed stuck in the past. You can stay angry at someone who hurt you. Or you can get busy doing your visions and changing our world. But you don't get to do both. I lovingly made this new Mastery Session called How to Forgive a Human Being to elegantly help you forgive the unforgiven so you leap from any victimhood up to leadership. As always, I'm in your corner. You can be great. And now is your time. All green lights, Robin

The Twin Drivers of a Remarkable Life
In this new Mastery Session called The 2 Drivers of a Remarkable Life, I dig deeper into what makes heroes heroic. And how you too can step up your mindset and behavior to get there fast.

What The Romans Know About Greatness
In this Mastery Session I'll walk you through insights on how to x20 the quality of your work (based on Italian examples like Moncler and Ferrari), ways to scale your inspiration (from art like Trevi) and a lesson from a master in a cheese shop to make life vastly better [thank you Roberto!].

The Secret Of Massively Creative People
A little while ago I came across a PBS special on one of my favorite heroes, Thomas Edison. This is a man with so many patents, who achieved so much, who was so devoted to bringing on genius into the world. He clearly changed our lives. This Mastery Session is all about is his Menlo Park, where he developed this laboratory in a huge warehouse space, where he and his small team would go to work on their inventions. It would be a place where Edison could get away from the world and where he could get his best ideas, distraction-free, to bring on what he did to the world.

The Cure For Fear
Transcending what terrifies you and finding freedom from fear is one of the primary pursuits of people rising to world-class, both in their work and within their lives. The project you are most scared to do is the one that holds your greatest growth. So why flee from it? In this hot new Mastery Session, I walk you through some of my best thinking on how to become braver, stronger and more creative in the face of resistance.

How To Never Grow Old
It's common to hear, "I'm getting older so I need to workout less" or "I'm not 21 anymore so I need to become less of a dreamer and more practical." The vast masterpieces of art, business, science and humanity were not constructed by practical people. And many of them were far older than 21 :) In this Mastery Session, I'll walk you through some potent insights + tactics to become ageless. So you become peerless.

Leave The Cult of Average Today
If you're amped to access your hidden talents, become uncommonly true to you, install rare-air audacity and learn how to transcend what terrifies you, check out this Mastery Session on Leaving The Cult of Average. And please remember: it doesn't matter where you start, only that you begin.

How To Stop Being Used
Even though I see beautiful change in the world as more people in business embrace the ideal of monomaniacal value creation and a career built on authentic contribution [business used to be only about money versus craft, community and acute service to humanity], some still feel that is they give a lot, they'll lose too much. And so I've created a Mastery Session called "How to Stop Being Used". It's pretty short but pretty valuable for you as a Leader Without a Title, A-Player and world-lifter.

5 Things To Do Before You Die
Here's the great seduction of a human life: we postpone doing what matters most until some time in the future when we hope it will all be easier. And yet, you're smart so you know the truth: there will never be a better day than this day to step into the life you've always longed to live [and start becoming the person you've always hoped to be]. To reconnect you with the preciousness of life and to give you some tactical insights to x25 your sense of energy and fulfillment, I've made a new Mastery Session called 5 Things To Do Before You Die.

The Power of Words
Part of what made people like Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi legendary were the words they spoke. Please just think about it: words of hope can lift whole nations. And words of hate can destroy entire races. Victimspeak will diminish your personal output while leadertalk will galvanize it. In this short but insight-filled Mastery Session you'll learn how the best leaders inspire and move people to brilliant results.

How to Grow Great Kids
So often, when I travel across the planet to deliver my Lead Without a Title presentation, my beloved event attendees ask me: "Robin, when will you write a book that helps parents raise children who are leaders?" - I have no plans to write a parenting book. But what I did do, given how many people want good information on the subject, is record a new Mastery Session called How to Grow Great Kids.

Powerful Tools to Overcome Pain
What I want to do in this Mastery Session is really walk you through the tools I've used in my own life to get through very difficult times.

Why Your Words Matter
A lot of people are very careless with their language. I mean, the words you use can lift up your energy, make you more creative. The words you use either allow you to do world-class things or the words you use deny your talents.

Why I Walk in the Woods
This Mastery Session really got me thinking about people who divorce themselves from the world and go out into the wilderness just to think and just to learn about themselves and just to be. In this world where so few of us are comfortable being alone, being in the wilderness, in this world where almost everywhere you go there's technology and there's noise and there's complexity. Almost everywhere you go people want to talk, talk, talk, talk. Just imagine what your life would be like as a creative person, as a leader, as a productive person, as a producer, as a human being if you installed a weekly ritual of going for a walk in the woods. To me, it's like a tonic from toxicity.

The True Purpose of Life
This Mastery Session is all about a question I get asked from time to time: "What's the true purpose of life?". Also in this episode, I take you back to my childhood and share some insights I've learned that can be of great use to you.

How I Stay Creative

Regardless of what you do, whether you’re a bookkeeper or a banker, whether you’re a taxi driver or a hamburger flipper, whether you’re a student or filmmaker, you are a creative. I want you to connect to your creative wellspring that longs to show up fully in the world.

Big Lessons To Win at Life
I wanted to let you in "under the kimono" a little bit and share 6 lessons that have been of service to me as I've walked through the journey of my life so far. I wanted to offer you some ideas that have really served me well, because I'm just like you, I'm trying to aspire to the top of the mountain over the course of the rest of my life.
