Plus TV: Motivational Speaker Mr. Bert Oliva is Back in Belize
His tours of Belize in the last few years have generated much buzz and hype and Bert Oliva of the Potentialists, a group of motivational speakers, has returned for a third. Today, he spoke to us in Belize City.
Mr. Bert Oliva- Motivational Speaker of the Potentialists
“We have been here three times. This is the third time. We do as many children as we can. Last year we did 8,000; our goal is to get at least 10,000 this year. So, we are really excited about that”.
Reporter: “So, tell us about reaching to them telling them that they are all potentialists”.
Mr. Bert Oliva: “Yeah. The plan is the same as last year to be able to give them the inspiration they already have because I truly believe that everyone has greatness inside of them. the only person that holds them back is themselves. What we are going to do is give them the tools and techniques. So, it is not motivation; it is not just words. We call it education and entertainment put together. So, it will be fun and exciting but at the same time, they will take tools and techniques home to apply for the next year so they can start really taking advantage and opportunities and potentials they have within themselves”.
According to Oliva, it’s not true that Belizeans – or our children, at least – are pessimists.
Mr. Bert Oliva: “The funny thins is, we think is the opposite. Three years ago when I came to Belize, I realized that they were so open and they were really taking the information in that I have been back for three years. So, I don’t see pessimists. I see very strong optimistic children and adults too. This is a beautiful country. In the past three years I have seen growth and I know that if we work together as a team, Anything is possible. One of the things I am really excited about is, the sponsorships that help us every year to touch the lives of more children in this country. so, I don’t know where you are getting that information from, but from our point of, Belize is a very beautiful country with beautiful people”.
And he says Belize can look forward to an exciting time.
Mr. Bert Oliva: “What happens is, I don’t want to bore everybody. So, I have new stuff to come out. so, we have new breaks for this, we have new tools and a huge event that we will be doing tomorrow and if you are able to come, please, stop by. If you hear us or hear us on television and if we happen to be in your part or your region or whatever is that we are speaking, do whatever you have to to not miss it because it is going to be blasting….I can’t explain you, I can”t tell you”.
Reporter: “You use techniques like the broken glass. Will you use the same again?”
Mr. Bert Oliva: “Last year, we did broken glass. People were able to walk on glass and they were able to eat fire and we have other breakthroughs which is, I won’t say what they are even though you are trying to get it out of you caz I want you to show up. If you do, you will get to see it; you will probably get to try it too”.
The tour begins tomorrow.
