WHAT MAKES THIS EVENT MORE POWERFUL & DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS?

1. Addressing the Times We Live In

We recognize the unique challenges the world and our industry are currently facing. Now, more than ever, sharpening the human facets of coaching is crucial while simultaneously fortifying your business for success.

2. Comprehensive Career Evolution with RTB

RTB isn’t just an event; it's a transformative experience. Our primary focus is on the often overlooked aspects of coaching that are paramount for sustained success. In a world where many coaches are struggling, despite prevailing economic challenges, we aim to provide the foundational business strategies to ensure longevity and prosperity in the industry.

3. Filling the Education Gap

A staggering void exists in industry education. With most coaches lacking essential business acumen, the longevity of their careers hangs in the balance. We address this deficit head-on, offering strategies to grant coaches more autonomy and security in their professional and personal lives.

4. Beyond the Physical

While many events revolve around movement and biomechanics, RTB dives deep into the nuances of what genuinely impacts your career. It's about understanding people, fostering genuine connections, and structuring a resilient business — the real keys to long-term success.

5. Unified Vision and Purpose

Imagine the power of a room brimming with professionals, all united by a common purpose — to uplift the industry. At RTB, we harness this collective energy, creating an environment that fosters collaboration and shared growth. Unlike other events with parallel sessions, here, we journey together, ensuring richer interactions and a deeper sense of community.

6. Sustainable Momentum and Impact

We've all attended events that inspire in the moment but whose effects wane with time. RTB is intentionally crafted to defy this trend. Our goal? To ensure the inspiration, knowledge, and tools you gain are not fleeting but integrated into your coaching practice. By providing actionable insights and fostering lasting connections, we aim to influence your coaching journey both now and in the years to come.
