As the world’s #1 peak performance coach, Tony Robbins says he wouldn’t enjoy even a fraction of his personal and professional success without applying his trademark Rapid Planning Method (RPM). At a recent RPM event, he shared the secrets of this revolutionary life management method with guests while unveiling the RPM software tool.

The RPM event shows attendees how they can apply deep meaning and purpose to their everyday tasks, ultimately checking off their to-do’s and finding fulfillment throughout their day. The RPM system is a staple of Robbins’ corporate coaching and helps people stop wasting time and start achieving more of what matters most with less stress and greater enjoyment.

“People get the idea that success means working hard all the time, but you don’t have to do it all to get what you want in life,” said Robbins. “The magic lies in doing what is important, not just what is urgent.”

The RPM event took place from July 19-21 at the Palm Beach Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. Robbins guided an invitation-only audience of 1,000 through the life management system that has framed his success for the past four decades. A limited virtual audience (2,500 attendees) also got in on the intimate access to Robbins.

Robbins gave guests exclusive access and a free 30-day trial to his new RPM software, which replaces clunky paper planners and complicated productivity apps. The software is the culmination of a $3 million personal investment from Robbins. It helps users automate tasks and eliminate distractions, and it holds them accountable for staying focused on what matters most.

Robbins has empowered more than 50 million people through his business and personal life strategies, educational videos, audio programs and live personal development events. He has authored eight internationally bestselling books, four of which became #1 New York Times Best Sellers. His leading titles include MONEY: Master the Game, Unshakeable: Your Financial Freedom Playbook and The Holy Grail of Investing. Fortune dubbed Robbins the “CEO Whisperer,” and for three years running, Worth Magazine named him in the top half of the 100 most powerful global finance titans.

As families gather school supplies, backpacks and clothes, Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital recommends an addition to your back-to-school checklist: A mental health toolkit.

The number of kids needing mental health support typically starts to rise as students head back to school.

One in five 3-to-17-year-old children nationally face a mental, emotional, developmental, or behavioral disorder. Additionally, suicide remains a leading cause of death for Utah youth. Last year, 43 percent of Utah youth who felt sad, hopeless, or suicidal reported that they did not talk to anyone about it.

Intermountain Primary Children’s experts say that if parents have concerns about their children, they shouldn’t wait to act. Here’s a mental health toolkit they recommend all Utah parents add to their back-to-school checklist to prepare for the upcoming school year:

Mental Health Toolkit Contents:

1. Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital Talk to Tweens Resources.

These resources, from the experts at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital, can help parents and teachers start conversations with children and help them identify, express, and manage their feelings in a healthy way. The free “Talk to Tweens” tools, which can downloaded in both English and Spanish at TalkToTweens.org and hableconsusjovenes.org, include conversation starters, a downloadable Feelings Wheel, and additional tips for families.

2. Free Assessment, Referral, Consultation Service (ARCS): 801-313-7711.

This statewide service can help families learn about and connect to services that are available for children close to their communities.

3. Free In-Home Stabilization and Mobile Response: 1-833-SAFE-FAM.

This service dispatches a team to homes in moments of need to help stabilize children in crisis.

4. Utah Crisis Hotline: 988.

This resource offers free support if you or someone you love, adult or child, is in crisis.

5. Pediatric Crisis Assessments Available 24/7.

This resource is available through the emergency departments at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital campuses in Salt Lake City and Lehi.

6. Partial Hospitalization Programs at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital.

These programs are available at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital locations including, the Miller Family Campus in Lehi, the Salt Lake Campus, the Wasatch Canyons campus in Taylorsville, and soon, at Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital.

7. Call 911 or Take Your Child to the Nearest Hospital Emergency Department.

Use this resource in the event of self-harm, a suicide attempt, or any other life-threatening emergency.

“We recommend parents put the phone numbers in this toolkit in their mobile phones, on their refrigerators, or anywhere else they can be easily accessed in a time of need,” said Ashley Schlaich, behavioral health outpatient services director at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital, Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Campus in Lehi.

“If parents have concerns about their child, we want them to call our expanded Assessment, Referral Consultation Service at 801-313-7711 so we can talk through their concerns and connect them to services in their community or through Primary Children’s Hospital right away,” Schlaich added. “We are here to help, and more help is on the way.”

Intermountain Children’s Health is also expanding critically needed mental health services for children and teens in crisis.

The Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital, Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Campus in Lehi has an entire floor dedicated to providing behavioral health services to children.

The new Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital Behavioral Health Center is a 90,000-square-foot facility under construction in Taylorsville, on the hospital’s Wasatch Canyons campus. It opens in 2025, and will include:

• A nearly 50 percent increase in inpatient beds
• A walk-in-crisis center
• The state’s first dedicated behavioral health inpatient unit to provide mental health crisis care tailored for youth with autism and neuro-diverse needs
• Family-centered behavioral healthcare, including the ability for parents to stay overnight
• Outpatient spaces designed for more intensive outpatient treatment, day treatment, and group therapy programs.

Behavioral health is one of the key areas under Primary Promise, Intermountain’s historic campaign to build the nation’s model health system for children. Philanthropic support is still needed to help complete the new facility, help more children grow up stronger, and even save lives.

As Canada finds itself in the midst of peak renovation season, a new comprehensive survey has uncovered a widespread crisis of trust within the renovation industry. The study reveals that 68.26% of Canadian homeowners who completed renovations in the past three years experienced at least one significant problem during their project.

Most alarmingly, 8.87% of homeowners reported stolen deposits, where contractors disappeared with payments for work never completed. This statistic highlights a severe breach of trust that could have long-lasting impacts on consumer confidence in the industry.

The survey also found that 66.89% of Canadians find it very or somewhat difficult to find a trustworthy contractor for major renovations (over $5,000), while 58.03% face similar challenges for minor projects (under $5,000).

Key survey findings include:

• 33.11% of projects faced unforeseen delays
• 32.76% encountered unexpected extra costs
• 23.21% suffered from poor quality finishing touches
• Only 35.15% of homeowners verified their contractor’s licence before hiring

“The survey’s revelations should be a wake-up call for the Canadian renovation industry,” says Andrew McGillivray, Co-Founder and President of the McGillivray Group and McGillivray Capital Partners. “The high prevalence of project delays, cost overruns, and trust issues indicates systemic flaws that should be addressed. Homeowners deserve transparency, quality, and reliability from their contractors. As an industry, we should prioritise rigorous vetting, adopt advanced project management tools, and foster open communication to rebuild trust.”

Are Canadians Taking Necessary Precautions?

The study shows that many Canadians are not taking all the necessary steps to vet potential contractors:

• 48.12% checked online reviews before hiring a contractor
• Only 24.23% checked for corporate liability insurance
• 12.29% proceeded without any verification or contract

Addressing the Trust Deficit

Bidmii, Canada’s leading renovation platform, is working to address these industry-wide challenges. The company’s innovative approach includes holding funds in trust during renovations, protecting homeowners from deposit theft. Additionally, Bidmii’s platform features purchase-verified ratings and reviews, along with before, during, and after pictures of completed projects.

“By holding funds in trust, we’re not just protecting homeowners’ money – we’re creating an ecosystem of accountability,” says Jon Christensen, CEO of Bidmii.. “Every rating and review on our platform is purchase-verified, meaning potential clients can trust that the feedback they’re seeing is genuine and based on actual completed projects. This system, combined with our before, during, and after project photos, offers the easiest and most reliable way to canvas your entire neighbourhood for previous referrals. As we continue to expand across Canada, our commitment is to elevate the entire renovation experience, making finding a trustworthy contractor not just possible, but expected.”
