World-famous life coach Tony Robbins is bringing his sage words to the Dubai stage.

It was first announced in February that the author and motivational speaker will host his first live public appearance in the city this year, as part of a new edutainment event.

Now we know that Robbins, 59, who has penned books such as Unlimited Power and Awaken the Giant Within, will appear at the Coca-Cola Arena on September 3.

The life and business strategist is expected to deliver a talk "designed to help you unlock and unleash the forces inside", to help guests reach their full potential, both at work and in their home life.

Tickets are available from 12pm today at www.tonyrobbinsdxb.com or www.eventhere.com, with early-bird seats priced from Dh999.

Robbins's talk will form part of Achieving the Unimaginable, a 10-hour learning and entertainment marathon from Najahi Events.

“We wanted to enter the market with a never-done-before offer to grow the edutainment segment,” said Awfa Mustafa, CEO of Najahi Events. “Najahi Events was launched after I attended a Tony Robbins event in 2015, so I know how powerful his seminars and events can be in terms of the profound impact they have on people’s lives. Through this, we hope to be part of the change and the evolution of the mindset of participants.”

The event will also feature other guests speakers, with a line-up set to be revealed in the near future.
