Speakers Reviews

“Peter was brilliant!!!! All of the feedback was really positive and our CEO was really impressed by him.

Everyone that has commented has spoken about how “on point” he was with his messages, with the right mix of fun and self-deprecation.” –Beijing Olympics Sponsorship, BHP Billiton

You impressed our organization with your passion and enthusiasm for something you believe in and how that determination created your success in the Olympics and beyond.

“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

Peter Vidmar

“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

Shawn Achor

“We have used Shawn globally to deliver workshops for our Managing Director and Executive Director audiences (both individuals and intact teams); as an estimate he has presented to close to 1000 people at this level at UBS. We are pretty selective about who we would put in front of this level of audience but Shawn never disappoints. The feedback from the seminars he has run for us is amongst the best across any of the training courses we deliver (from memory over 95 per cent of this audience would recommend the training to peers). Shawn has partnered exceptionally well with UBS to tailor his materials and research to our needs. He is always open to feedback and ideas.” —UBS

He has the ability to reach his audience through a unique combination of humor and real life experiences intertwined with results from his extensive research on happiness that brings credibility and validity to his message, which should resonate with any individual or company that values continuous improvement and strives for peak performance. I highly recommend Shawn Achor as both a speaker and an author. I am happier as a result of Shawn’s positive influence on my life and family.” –Corning Credit Union

Dr. Tasha Eurich

“Tasha Eurich has many gifts as a speaker—her style is fresh, funny, practical and supported by science. But more than that, she has a message that transforms leaders and organizations. We’ve used the Bankable Leadership model both internally and with our clients, and we couldn’t be happier we did!” –CEO Cobiz Bank

“We invited Shawn to come speak to our most productive and successful financial advisors and we were uncertain about how he would be received.

Overall, Shawn was a highlight of our conference and a huge success.” –UBS Financial Services Inc.
