Reviews of Our Speakers

“The meeting went extremely well. Peter was exceptional to work with in preparation for and attentive to the needs and the focus of our conference. The response was unanimous, our sales team, VIP’s and vendors were motivated and truly inspired. Peter’s post-meeting visiting with our VIP’s was clearly going the ‘extra mile’ and for many, it was the highlight in their week! Peter clearly exceeds our expectations and was able to connect with those present and made a powerful presentation on his topics.” –HPSI

We were very satisfied with the Seminar content, as well as with Tony’s attitude and charisma presented during the event. In our opinion, knowledge about behavioral styles or ways of changing Clients into Apostles was very useful for participants and presented in an intelligible way. We have received many positive comments from our participants, that Tony’s speech was very inspiring. He presented his great knowledge to the audience and what is more, was very charismatic and a nice speaker. He is very experienced and his ideas are easy to understand.” –BIGRAM S.A. Personnel Consulting

“Excellent. By far the best speaker we have ever had in any company meeting I have attended. He was funny and entertaining and best of all, gave us advice that we can easily follow, if we choose to do so. He was brilliant and I am so grateful to CCC for bringing him in to speak with us.”

• “Really enjoyed Shawn Achor and I am excited to read his book.  I want to say thank you for giving us a speaker that was more focused on us then the company!”
• “Awesome.  I liked how it was not just a lot of fluff.  He clearly had a lot of science to back up his assertions.”
• “Very dynamic and wonderful speaker – already trying some of the things he mentioned Fun-fitness-doubler-3 gratitudes.”

“Your presentation was the perfect complement to the rest of the program and I have continued to receive positive feedback from everyone from our housekeepers to physicians and retired volunteers! The regional visitors to our program were also very impressed by your talk, and they knew already that your message really resonated with so many of our team. You would be so gratified by the number of stories we have additionally been receiving from folks ‘going the extra inch’ and ‘turning misery into magic.’” – Orange County, Kaiser-Permanente

“Our expectations for Shawn’s talk at our recent H.R. Conference was quite high, given what I had seen of his “TED” talk and having read much of The Happiness Advantage – and all those expectations were exceeded! While I knew the content would be powerful and anticipated the delivery would be engaging, I underestimated the positive impact it would have on the audience beyond the conference. The attendees have been quite energized and have begun taking actions to be happier and more grateful in their own lives. Further, while the learning will be applicable at our workplace, I think the attendees felt the impact was transferable to all aspects of their lives (and their families).” –The Wendy’s Company

“We invited Shawn to come speak to our most productive and successful financial advisors and we were uncertain about how he would be received. However, not only did the audience hang on his every word, but they have been asking us to bring him back to speak to their best clients and prospects. Overall, Shawn was a highlight of our conference and a huge success.” – UBS Financial Services Inc.

“Our session with Brené was overwhelmingly positive and our leaders commented on what a great experience it was. Our survey results indicated she received the best ratings for external speakers that we’ve had in the last two years.

Her message about vulnerability is re-shaping our conversation about what it means to be a good leader – we were surprised by how engaged and excited out team was about the message!”  –Home Depot

“Lisa recently presented to over 2,100 attendees at our franchisee convention. Lisa’s message on how we can delight our Fans and create an experience that deepens the relationship was tailored to our audience. The preparation that Lisa put into her talk was like no other keynote speaker that I have worked with. Lisa spent time with our franchisees, vendors and customers to truly connect to our brand. Our operators walked away with a greater understanding of how they can add people to the product to create a memorable customer experience.”  –International Dairy Queen

I know the companies took away many techniques to help improve their customer service, thereby increasing their business.” –WinWholesale

“Brené Brown far exceeded our expectations. Her ability to engage and hold the audience was incredible and attendees were talking about it for the remainder of the event. Attendees came away with a new understanding of the importance of vulnerability, that it is the birthplace of innovation and creativity, getting into the arena, having a go and being a participant not a spectator, and being courageous is not always comfortable. She has an amazing ability to draw out the key findings of her research on vulnerability and courage, and present them in a way that strikes a chord with all attendees and leaves them contemplating their own lives, professional and personal, and making instantaneous meaningful changes to their actions and behaviours.”  –Commonwealth Bank

–AutoNation, Inc.

“I really appreciate the can-do attitude you displayed when I threw you a curve ball at the last minute and asked you to expand the [workshop] to include both generational differences and national culture differences. On top of this, I was very impressed with your comfort in letting the audience, most of whom were well-versed in working with diverse cultures, direct the conversation on the influence of national culture. The ‘let me learn from you’ approach was utilized and was quite refreshing. Overall, I’ve heard several people comment, and I complete agree, that you showed great confidence and content knowledge as you led our four-hour session. Thanks again for your efforts!” –CH2M HILL

“You accomplished exactly what I hoped you would. You got our delegates energized, thinking out of the box somewhat, and your idea of not reacting to change but rather creating change was “inspirational” —— ABSOLUTELY.

When rounding in the hospital, all I hear is how awesome she was and how she touched people to look at their behaviors on service. She has a great sense of humor and her stories are wonderful and entertaining.

Couple the presentations message with his pommel horse routine and he delivered a powerful and entertaining experience for our audience.” –Amphenol Aerospace

“I wanted to thank you for the outstanding presentation you gave to our group last week in Atlanta, Georgia. Your message was very inspiring, entertaining and very motivational. I was personally inspired by you to really look at my business and find the “paths we need to pave” in our organization. I spoke to a lot of our attendees and each felt that you were our “best speaker ever”, and this was the event’s twenty-second year! Thank you again for sharing your experience and insights with our customers and employees.” –Linc Network

“Truly, the pleasure was all ours! I heard nothing but rave reviews from our participants who absolutely loved your message and you.

I had countless attendees come up to me after Peter’s speech to tell me he was the best speaker they had ever heard!” –Lab Corp of America

“The business of hiring speakers and having their contributions further the objectives of a given meeting is often ‘hit or miss’ in spite of advance planning and effort.

“It was sometime in the 1990’s when my employer Berkline Furniture engaged you to speak to the sales force. There are so many times that I have thought of the things you shared with our group on that occasion that I have always intended to drop you a line and let you know. During the different phases of my life whether they were “successful” or “challenging” I have tried to keep some things in mind that I have learned from your motivational presentation so many years ago.

• I have to be realistic. I can’t work twice as hard because I am already working 10-12 hours a day. I have to work smarter and I have to work the right problem. The difference in performance between a Gold Medal and a Silver Medal may only be hundredths of a second.
• You mentioned that during training for the Olympics, you were able to take two days a year off [because] “anyone can work out when they feel like working out – you have to be able to discipline yourself to work out even when you don’t feel like it.”
• I remember asking you how you developed this dogged determination. You told the story of your once athletic father becoming a paraplegic due to a bout with Polio. You said that when things got tough growing up the family members would remind one another that everyone has to pitch in and support family as well as each other.
• The power of visualization. As I recall, you would start each day by going through the exact motions of a Gold Medal perfect routine. You would raise your arm indicating your preparedness to the chief judging official, you would imagine his nod indicating it was ok to begin your routine, make the announcements over the imaginary “PA speakers” and so on.

One of the things that I find very satisfying in life is the feeling I get when I feel that my words or actions have a tangible positive impact. I thought you might feel the same way and that is why I wrote this letter [to thank you].”
–Attendee, Berkline Furniture Sales Meeting

“Nido did an amazing job and no one moved during his entire presentation. He received a standing ovation and I feel sure our attendees took away valuable information and were motivated to bring new ideas to their businesses. Nido is the consummate professional and a pleasure to work with and I am so glad we were able to share him with our attendees this year!” –North Carolina Association of Realtors

• “The speaker today was fantastic! Great message and good length of speaking engagement.”

“Nido captivated a large and astute group of commercial real estate brokers from across the nation at our company’s national sales conference. His message is inspiring and universal, and is delivered with polish, passion and humor. One of our brokers read Nido’s book onthe flight home and said, ‘this is the only book a salesperson will ever need.’ Our large audience is not easily impressed, but I can honestly say that Nido walked away with 600 new friends.” –Sperry Van Ness Commercial Real Estate

People especially liked that he had lunch and chatted with attendees and took pictures. There was an oooh in the audience when he showed his medals. Peter’s ability to both entertain and motivate attendees, combined with his non-PowerPoint hands-on approach, left attendees in awe and raving about his keynote for days afterwards.” –Data Modeling Zone

“Nido was a wonderful addition to our event. He is a very personable speaker! All of our people were impressed with his stories and how they related to both work and family. Several of them came to me and gave me positive feedback. We are a very numbers/results driven bunch and his input about running the university as a business was very impressive. I have a great appreciation for the years of passionate living it takes, to create life experiences that produced the hour and a half we spent together.” –Platinum Corral Restaurants, LLC

“You were such a wonderful addition to our staff meeting and quite unexpected. This was probably the first time either of the former credit unions engaged an outside speaker and you were terrific.

It was a pleasure meeting you and having the opportunity to work with you.”–Accelerent – Indianapolis

“The good and the bad with Nido’s presentation is it was by far the best presentation we have had at this event and we have had great presenters that everyone loved and got a lot from. We just do not know what we can and what we have to do to meet or hopefully exceed our members’ expectations for next year. You need to let your clients know they will have a hard time getting a better presenter than Nido. We need to start looking now for next year as I am very concerned with this challenge. Thanks for all that you do for our organization.” –TAG National

“Peter is a fabulous presenter with an impactful message that is delivered cogently and in ways that meet the needs of many different learning styles. His accomplishments speak for themselves, and his ability to translate ROV into every-day life – both personal life as well as professional life – is a real bonus for any organization looking for motivation. Peter provides inspiration and, in addition, the ‘how to’ that is powerful and enduring. Many of my client organizations have benefited from Peter’s presentations over the last 15 or 20 years, and I’m sure to continue to engage him for future events.” –First Databank

“Your presentation was so very much on target for our audience. I greatly appreciate that you were able to weave our theme into your discussion.

Thank you for an outstanding presentation that really hit the core of what our conference was about.” –Intermec Technologies

Nido: thanks for the great message! Your presence at our meeting was felt and very much appreciated! The group referenced your message many times throughout the three days, and I took the opportunity to reference the ‘preach what you practice’ statement during our awards ceremony.

We will certainly be in touch to discuss how we can continue to work together! –PLUS Orthopedics

As a person, Peter took it over the top with his personal charm and willingness to do whatever it takes to please the customer, engage the audience and make it a winning experience for all. I already got him a second engagement with our company and am working on the third.” –Sabre Holdings

Nido: Thank you for your kind words. I cannot begin to tell you what a tremendous impact your portion of the convention had on everyone. If I had to target one area that I personally benefitted from the most, it would have to be the time listening to the wisdom that you had to share with all of us. I am anxious to get into some of the materials that you have developed. Do you get to Dallas at all? I would like very much to have the opportunity to talk to you about other ways that we might be able to utilize your services. We have a family home in Highlands. We will be there for a brief trip in July. Perhaps we could get to Highpoint to meet with you. Thank you again. –Snelling Professional Services, LLC

“Peter did a fantastic job. His presentation was both inspirational and practical. I am hopeful that his “practical inspiration” will challenge our members to be different at work and at home.

Peter has a gift in being real and genuine. He becomes a friend almost immediately. We are so grateful to Peter for sharing his stories and showing us what it looks like in REAL LIFE to be a master at his trade (the pommel horse). There is nothing like seeing that incredible talent and hard work right in front of your eyes. Thank you Peter for sharing just a little bit of yourself. You made such an impact on us!” –Kneaders Bakery and Café

“Nido has mobilized our team members to aspire to act in an uncommonly extraordinary fashion to differentiate ourselves in an industry where doing so has a favorable impact on our customers. When service and relationships distinguish Benco as a value added dental distributor, Nido’s message heightens our awareness that it is important to provide a remarkable experience as we uniquely deliver value smile after smile. Team members commented that Nido was the best speaker we have ever had. He did a fantastic job in personalizing his presentation as if he prepared it specifically for Benco. The standing ovation says it all.” –Benco Dental

Peter’s program definitely met our expectations.” –Zaxby’s Franchising Inc.

“I do want to make a special point to acknowledge Peter Vidmar’s performance. He was perfect — genuine, passionate, dynamic and obviously, very skillful. He really drove our key message home perfectly. On a personal note let me also say that I have never (I mean never) worked with a more gracious and sincere speaker as Peter. He not only did a great job fulfilling his speaking obligation, he spent the entire evening with our team at the bowling alley and then stuck around late in the evening talking to everyone in the lobby. And, late in the evening when I was speaking with three managers I sensed someone off to my side — it was Peter — he was patiently waiting for me to finish speaking to once again say thank you. Again, I have NEVER met anyone so genuine and gracious as Peter. Thank you! We will use him again.” –Hilton Hotels

My team is still talking about the impact Peter had on them as individuals, and also on how they can use his message to further motivate their teams, which was one of the major objectives of our meeting. They were amazed that he is still in “Gold Medal” physical shape to be able to perform the Olympic skills he demonstrates during his presentation. I also appreciated Peter’s willingness to take questions from the group, to personally autograph a copy of his book for everyone, and to have his photo taken with any one who asked. His warmth and genuine connection with everyone made a lasting impression on all in attendance.” –PriCara

“Peter Vidmar was a great success as a featured speaker at our 2008 Staples Global Sales Meeting. His message was engaging and inspired, not to mention extremely entertaining. We will happily work with him again.” –Media Loft, Inc.

Thanks again for sharing your story in such an engaging manner.” —Olympic Steel

“I just wanted you to know how grateful I am for your participation on Saturday. The story you told about your Dad was incredibly powerful. I know that his story and example is very personal to you, but it was a very important piece for our group, so thanks for sharing another piece of your life with us. It makes me respect and appreciate you and your parents and the sacrifices you’ve all made even that much more.” –MonaVie

“Everyone really loved Peter! All of the guests thought he tied in gymnastics and his Olympic experience with our industry in a very effective but subtle way. He received many rave reviews and in all of my years doing this, I have never seen such a huge line for a book signing! The most impressive part of Peter Vidmar is the way that he is able to capture the mood of the audience and tailor the subject matter to fit that mood precisely and effortlessly!” –Investacorp

“Outstanding job at the induction ceremony this past Wednesday. Out of everyone that was on stage to speak that night, you were far and away the most composed, well-spoken individual…I hope that our paths cross again in the near future. It was great working with you.” —Intersport Television

“I know you hear this often, but you need to truly take this in – you made a huge impact on our Paul Mitchell School Leadership Group. I could not have scripted you better than the message you delivered. What a gift! You truly, truly made a huge impact. Our own educators in our school world facilitate about 1800 events per year on the road. We have an ongoing training for them about their performance ‘off stage.’ Not only were you brilliant on stage, you were just as brilliant and kind off stage. How you treated everyone with your kindness and warmth was what really made these Paul Mitchell School Leaders fall in love with you. And trust me; they fell in love with you.” —Paul Mitchell Schools

“Your presentation was great! I heard from everyone how much they appreciated your insightful words. They were thrilled to meet you in-person. I’d be happy to serve as a reference at any time.” –Hero-USA

“It was great to have you, our team loved your presentation and your message really hit the target for all of us.” –Arrow Electronics, Inc.

“Peter exceeded our expectations. His presentation was informative, motivating and relevant. He did an amazing job intertwining his life lessons and how they related and contributed to his success. He is a very modest and humble presenter, especially for one who has achieved such great success. Peter’s theme of ROV was relevant and applicable; however, he did not make it “hokey” by trying to tell our franchisees how to apply his learning’s to their business. Many franchisees made this comment to me. Everything went great – from the pre-meeting correspondence and logistics to the event itself. Thanks for a great event; you guys made it easy!!” –FASTSIGNS International, Inc.

“We had a fabulous time with Peter at our event. He was so responsive, personable and inspirational. Peter’s presentation was phenomenal…the highest rated non-party event! The attendees went bonkers over Peter and thought that there was a lot of ‘take home value.’ We only wish we could have spent more time with him. We loved the communication and event summary and would give Peter a perfect 10!” –YPO El Paso

“Nido was a smashing success at our sales conference. One attendee told me he has never felt such a full range of emotions while listening to a speaker. Another told me, ‘Nido is the best we’ve ever had.’ Several attendees asked how we found him. My spouse became so interested in my description of Nido’s presentation that she is recommending that her nephew in North Carolina check out High Point University. I appreciated Nido staying on through our business session and coming “backstage” to greet our business directors.” –Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc.

“Nido’s presentation exceeded our expectations and he was the highlight of our meeting. Our participants enjoyed him very much and walked away in awe! –Garst Seed Company
