    The Power of Potential and Mindset Mastery: Lee Roebeck's Journey from Rugby Player to Renowned Coach
    Sep 6 2023
    Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, Lee Roebeck, a Mindset Coach and Inspiring public speaker, joins us for this episode. Lee's life story is compelling. From an ex-rugby player with a rough upbringing, low self-esteem and an overriding need for people’s approval, Lee has undergone a radical shift in mindset. He moved away from a job and a life that did not align with his true potential, and turned towards inspiring others as a mindset coach. Collaborating with the legendary New York Times’ best-selling author and mindset coach Bob Proctor, who is renowned for his role in the movie 'The Secret' about the Law of Attraction, Lee created his mindset coaching business 'Built to Win.' The inception of 'Built to Win' came after a traumatic experience where Lee was kidnapped. Through this ordeal, he demonstrated the power of his coaching techniques, emerging from the situation and subsequently sharing his experience at a Bob Proctor event in Toronto with several inspiring businessmen. This episode delves into Lee's journey and the potential we all have within us, waiting to be unleashed.

We are sure that Lee's story is an amazing tribute and expression of gratitude to Bob, for how wonderful knowing him and working with him has been, and for the great impact he had on his life.
