Ruben Gonzalez
One of the Greatest Olympic Stories of all Time!
A seemingly "ordinary guy,"
Ruben Gonzalez wasn't a gifted athlete. He didn't take up the sport of luge
until he was 21. Against all odds, four years later he was competing in the
Winter Olympics. At the age of 47 he was racing against 20-year-olds in the
Vancouver Olympics, where he became the first person to ever compete in four
Winter Olympics each in a different decade.
Ruben speaks from Olympic experience. He teaches
the personal effectiveness system he used to achieve success again and again
in both the Olympics and in business.
Ruben's found the formula for sustaining success. As your people listen to
Ruben's story, they'll learn what it really takes to get to the top and more
importantly, once they are at that level, how to sustain it year in and year
out.
He is proof that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things if they
will follow a few simple steps. From Dubai to Dublin, from Coca Cola to the
Make a Wish Foundation, Ruben has inspired and motivated audiences around
the world.
As a Four-Time Olympian and a national luge champion, peak-performance
expert Ruben Gonzalez knows how to achieve success again and again. A master
storyteller, Ruben uses his Olympic experiences to inspire audiences to
think differently, live life with passion and have the courage to take the
necessary steps toward their goals - to push beyond self-imposed limitations
and to produce better results!
Ruben's appeared nationally on ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX Business Channel. He's
been featured in Time Magazine, The New York Times, as well as publications around the world.
His articles on peak-performance are read on every continent. His book, "The
Courage to Succeed," has been endorsed by Stephen Covey, Ken Blanchard,
Brian Tracy, and Dr. Robert Schuller.
Mega best-selling author Jack Canfield
features Ruben Gonzalez's incredible story three times in his new book, "The
Success Principles." Canfield uses Ruben's story to illustrate three of his
success principles; believing in yourself, taking action, and not
procrastinating.
His client list reads like a Who’s Who of Corporate America: Dell,
Coca-Cola, Farmers Insurance, Ortho McNeal, the Million Dollar Round Table,
Oracle, Wells Fargo, Century21, and even the U.S. Treasury Department!
Ruben has spoken along side speaking legends Zig Ziglar, Denis Waitley, and
Tom Hopkins. They've hailed him as a leader of a new generation of personal
development speakers.
Armed with the same energy and dedication that he put into his athletic
career, Ruben Gonzalez brings to audiences of all sizes and backgrounds a
truly unique, truly memorable performance that teaches as it entertains, and
inspires as it motivates.
"Invite Ruben to speak to your group and you'll be glad you did."
- Zig Ziglar
Because of his powerfully inspiring story, Ruben was selected to carry the
Olympic Torch at the Salt Lake City Olympics.
Ruben co-stars in the motivational movie “Pass It On” where he was asked to
share his insights on what it really takes to succeed at work and in life.
He delivers over 90 presentations a year to organizations and corporations
around the globe about taking action to create long lasting success.
Ruben will inspire and equip your people to achieve more than ever before.
"Ruben's incredible story inspires people to be their best."
- Howard Putnam - Former CEO Southwest Airlines
“If you will listen to Ruben speak, your life will change.”
- Lou Holtz - Legendary Notre Dame Football Coach
Best of all, Ruben's program is completely original. You won't hear him
retelling old worn out stories about Radio Shack, McDonalds and breaking the
four minute mile.
Judge for yourself. Watch Ruben's demo video. It's so good you'll want your
family to watch it.
