Dr. Nido Qubein

“Nido exceeded my expectations! He embedded my organization’s challenges in his presentation. His passion and enthusiasm were uplifting. I will be using him again.” –Wausau Insurance Companies

Peter Vidmar

“We loved having Peter at our conference. He attended many of our classes and events leading up to his presentation and made us feel like he was part of the team by the time he spoke. 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

Dr. Nido Qubein

“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 Vidmar

“I have seen Peter’s presentation on numerous occasions made to very diverse groups; different size groups, industries and ages. He always seems to captivate the audience. His message was clear, humorous and relevant. His storytelling is flawless as he shares his Olympic and life experiences and attendees were amazed with how quickly the hour went by. He did a great job and the feedback was very positive.” –Raytheon Company

Peter Vidmar

“Your keynote presentation was awesome! I received great feedback from our people. 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. Your presence made our meeting very, very special. Although you’ve been a perennial speaker at our Northwestern Mutual regional meetings, your message is timeless and is more powerful each time.” –Northwestern Mutual Financial Network

Peter Vidmar

“Peter exceeded our expectations. He was able to blend just enough Allstate into his presentation that he got buy in from the audience in the first few moments. The audience laughed, they applauded and better yet, I’m hearing about his message points from ROV. His message was a real fit for our new business plan.” –Allstate Insurance Co.

Peter Vidmar

“Peter is a delight to work with. He was absolutely outstanding!” –Aspen Education Group

Peter Vidmar

“Peter Vidmar is a very affable speaker. It was refreshing to have him at our event. He is conscientious and genuinely interested in supporting our organization with his message. The audience was very interested in Peter’s story, and they enjoyed it very much. Comments after the presentation were all positive. Peter’s program definitely met our expectations.” –Zaxby’s Franchising Inc.

Peter Vidmar

“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

Peter Vidmar

“The charisma and insight you brought to your presentation made our meeting truly inspirational. I know I can speak for the entire team when I say we have all benefited greatly from the ideas you shared. Thank you for your contributions in making this day a perfect 10!” –Allstate

Peter Vidmar

“I have heard great things from Allstate from a number of people…..everyone loved Peter and his program. Many thanks.” –IMG Consulting

Peter Vidmar

“Peter’s program far exceeded my expectations! He was able to connect with my extended leadership team in a way that riveted their attention for his entire presentation. 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

“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.

Peter Vidmar

Peter Vidmar

“Everything was perfect. His message was well-received and right on target. I just can’t say enough about how much I personally enjoyed it and the positive feedback I got from my colleagues.” –YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles

Peter Vidmar

“Thank you for helping our meeting to be a complete success. Feedback regarding your presentation has been very positive. I enjoyed it so much that I tried to share some of your experiences with my family over the weekend (minus the pommel horse demo). Thanks again for sharing your story in such an engaging manner.” —Olympic Steel

Peter Vidmar

“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

Peter Vidmar

“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

“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
