Hello, Ortando here. It's been about one month since we have added to the blog here at Ortando & Son. Today I wanted to comment about my recent experience in Los Angeles as a member of the studio audiance for a new NBC show "Breakthrough" with Tony Robbins. For those who have been to the Ortando.com website, you may have noticed a link to the Tony Robbins Company website. What is important about that is that Mr. Robbins utilizes what I consider very powerful psychological tools to help people change. His background and training as his site attests, is in Neuro-linguistic Programing and Ericksonian hypnosis and therapy (as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other theraputic styles and traditions).
At the Wadsworth therater in LA, 1500 people from all around the world came to support the new show that Tony was producing. It was a "community" of Tony Robbins "graduates". Why you may ask, am I discussing this on the Ortando & Son blog? It is because much of the ideas, concepts, techniques and strategies on our site are congruent with some of Tony's ideas. Notions that if you change your thinking, you'll change your life; that it is through emotion, then action that the change becomes real; that beliefs are paramount in how your life plays itself out; that "believing in yourself" can manifest the life you want, are all ideas we share.
In LA for "Breakthrough", (Note: We signed an agreement not to discuss the details of the show), I can tell you that it is a reality show where individuals who have experienced tragedy in their lives, through Tony's intervention and their hard work, indeed experience a "Breakthrough" and regain their life purpose and hope. Allow me to suggest that you visit Tony Robbins.com and take a look for yourself. Richard
