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 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.

“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

“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

“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

Peter Vidmar

“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

Peter Vidmar

Peter Vidmar

“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.
