The Making of Roel Schaart: How I Left Tony Robbins to Become My Own Kind of Coach
Roel Schaart shares his extraordinary evolution from a shy IT specialist with a baby face to a high-performance coach who’s trained with Navy SEALs, led within the Tony Robbins organization, and earned his ICF MCC.

Key Highlights
- Why Roel believes growth only happens outside your comfort zone.
- How working with Tony Robbins shaped his intensity—and what made him walk away.
