Peter Vidmar's Rave Reviews
“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'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 being so approachable and easy to
work with. Your presentation exceeded our
expectations. I can't think of anything that you
could do to improve it. You were very good at
bringing the audience up, taking them down, and
adding humor to make your points. They loved it. The
overall reaction to your program has been extremely
positive and your presentation rated the highest on
our survey. You also did an outstanding job of
tailoring your approach to the message of the
conference and our particular audience.” - Bekins Van Lines
“Working with Peter was fantastic. He took the time
to prepare for the presentation, whether it was
participating on a conference call with our team, to
arriving ahead of time to meet people in the
business and understand how it works. His
presentation was extremely well received and he made
himself available to meet and greet afterwards.
Everything went perfectly!” - GE Consumer Finance
Peter was brilliant!!!! All of the feedback was
really positive and our CEO was really impressed by
him. The topics he talked about were a perfect
complement to the discussions that we had been
having during the conference. 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

inspiration to all. He is not only an amazing

“Peter Vidmar was a great speaker! It was a
different speaker for us than most...sports vs. a
business slant. HOWEVER...everything Peter said you
could make a business case for...very well. This was
for an audience of business women and he STILL hit a
home run...or scored a perfect 10. The action on the
Pommel Horse was AWESOME!!” - Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce

and your ability to clearly communicate principals
to achieving excellence is truly inspiring
regardless of your industry or focus.” - Intuit

keynote that was a great opening to our event. The

enjoyable way.” - National Bicycle Dealers Association

evaluations are in and you were a hit! Which made us
