Written in Partnership with Amir BakianRobert Simic’s journey unfolds against the backdrop of a life shaped by scarcity and the pursuit of survival, yet his exploration into the mind and spirit would go on to redefine the contours of personal development in the 21st century.
Amidst the unforgiving embrace of Belgrade’s concrete streets, Robert Simic grew up navigating a journey that would ultimately defy the limitations of his humble beginnings. Today, known to the world for his work in the personal development field, Simic’s story is a testament to the power of resilience, self-discovery and the boundless potential that lies within each and every one of us.
Having grown up in a Christian Orthodox environment, Simic shares that as a young boy spirituality seemed like a distant realm he couldn’t quite grasp. “You have to believe it, to see it” he was told by those around him. But it wouldn’t be until much later on in his life, where Simic fully understood the power of spirituality and the human mind.
Raised in an environment where poverty and scarcity defined perspectives, his initial pursuits were centered around the basic necessity of putting food on the table. “I had to fend for myself from very early on,” he recalls. “Most of my life revolved around chasing money and trying to survive, really.”
That path to survival plucked Simic from his home in Serbia to Greece, and later Germany, where he took on odd jobs such as washing cars at a car rental office and endless night shifts of manual labor at a factory. However, the trajectory of his life would take an unforeseen turn, steering him toward a profound exploration of the human psyche and its untapped potential.
“I was really fighting with myself at that time because I knew that to create a different life, I had to start from within. But I was raised with a very poor, poverty mindset,” Simic says.”It’s like, if somebody rich comes and parks a car, we hate that person, because they’re rich and they have something we don’t, right? So all my wiring, in terms of beliefs and attitudes, was backwards and needed to change.”
Eventually, Simic found a way to change his beliefs and, in turn, improve the quality of his life substantially. He describes it as a gradual journey, allowing him to slowly but surely discover the mindset tools and techniques that create change.
“Fast forward to now, two decades or so later, I’m sitting on a really good package of techniques that I found all over the world, from the mountains of Tibet, to the shores of Hawaii,” Simic continues.
Today, it comes as no surprise that Simic is dedicated to sharing his insights and methods with the world. As the author of “From Grind to Greatness” and the Founder of the Robert Simic Coaching Institute, he extends his reach globally through online courses, life coaching, and Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) training. His RS Method, a fusion of science and spirituality, serves as a potent vehicle for fast and lasting change.
Simic’s coaching institute offers workshops ranging from a two-day personal development experience to an intensive ten-day immersion. The latter, in particular, holds the promise of profound transformation, addressing a spectrum of challenges, from addictions to traumatic memories, with a blend of neuroscience and spirituality. Central to his methodology is the RS Method, a very deep concept, both psychological and spiritual, that Simic says, “really wakes people up.”
“Once they begin to see the potential, they always want more, because now they stop pointing fingers elsewhere and they realize change is happening within them,” he says.
Recalling some of the most memorable transformations he’s witnessed, Simic shares that people with addictions for over 25 years were able to free themselves forever after just 10 days. “It’s insane,” he says. “Neuroscience combined with spirituality can create these outstanding, lasting changes.”
When asked what makes him different from other personal development coaches, Simic says, “we take an integrative approach that marries the conscious and unconscious. Otherwise, when you exclude one of those aspects, there’s no real lasting change,” he asserts. It is this holistic methodology that has allowed Simic to help individuals overcome obstacles and free themselves from the chains of long-standing issues.
In essence, his story is not merely one of personal triumph, but a compelling invitation for others to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery and transformation. Through his work, Robert Simic continues to inspire countless individuals to unlock their innate potential and embrace lasting positive change, just like he did.
