“We received overwhelmingly enthusiastic responses from our attendees. Many told us it was one of the best business meetings they have ever attended. You played a key role in making the conference such a memorable event. I’d like to especially thank you for the energy, enthusiasm, and expertise you brought to our stage. As you may have heard, we have been fans of yours for some time – and you did not disappoint! Your presentation was highly relevant and provided actionable suggestions advisors could incorporate immediately into their business. The archetypal categories have continued to be helpful to us internally, as well. And the advance copy books were a delightful surprise that our attendees valued. It was truly a pleasure to work with you and we hope to have another opportunity to do so again in the near future. ” –The Newport Group

Peter Vidmar
Peter presented “Risk, Originality and Virtuosity” at our 2016 Global Sales Conference. Our sales team loved the practical application of Peter’s message as well as his engaging delivery. Later in the day after Peter’s presentation I asked the sale team what key points they came away with. Much to my satisfaction, the key points that I wanted to have the team take away had the desired impact and were duly noted by the team. We were thrilled with the opportunity to learn from Peter and I know the impact of his message will continue to impact our sales team for some time to come. Well done Peter! –Posey Company

Dr. Nido Qubein
“Nido’s program exceeded expectations. He was on his ‘A’ game…I have already heard people referring to his quotes…’garbage in, garbage stays’ as well as create a ‘to be’ list not a ‘to do’ list and a few other ones. My team loved him.” — Mirantis
Howard Putnam
“Howard, we have received rave reviews from our leadership team about your presentation and the relevance of your experiences and messages to the challenges we face in our business today.

Shawn Achor
“Shawn’s presentation exceeded our expectations (both for those of us that put the program together as well as our attendees). We already knew from the TEDx video that he was a dynamic presenter but then to meet him in person and have him be so down to earth and genuine was a big bonus. This was particularly beneficial for us with our group being so small (approximately 25 people) and the main goal for them to connect and learn from each other. Having Shawn kick-off our event set the tone for the next two days. There were several attendees over the next two days who referenced different portions of Shawn’s session and would comment on how they started their day with their gratitude’s. Many also plan to read his book to help them with the process for setting new habits.” — Threshold Group
