In 1960 when Nutri-Bio expanded into Canada, Shoaff and the other founders selected Rohn as a Vice President for the organization due to his performance.

He then began presenting seminars all over the country, telling his story and teaching his personal development philosophy. In 1966, a friend and fellow ex-Nutri-Bio distributor started a company and hired Rohn to host recruiting and training meetings.
Throughout the 1970s, Rohn conducted a number of seminars for Standard Oil. At the same time, he participated in a personal development business called "Adventures in Achievement", which featured both live seminars as well as personal development workshops. He presented seminars worldwide for more than 40 years.
