If organizations and individuals are going to thrive in any environment, they will need to take calculated risks, continually innovate and take their products or service to entirely new levels of performance. This process never ends. For over 20 years, Olympic Champion Peter Vidmar has effectively communicated these principles to tens of thousands of people, in virtually every industry in America. Using his effective trademark concept of “Risk, Originality and Virtuosity,” Peter’s unique presentations give audiences a fresh perspective on how to motivate employees, improve morale, and encourage new ways of thinking. Successful Meetings magazine has listed Peter as one of the top ten corporate speakers in America. He is the author of the book, Risk, Originality, and Virtuosity: The Keys to a Perfect 10. Peter is also a member of the National Speakers Association’s Speaker’s Hall of Fame.
TOPICS
Motivation — ROV… Risk, Originality and Virtuosity
In his powerful keynote presentation, Peter converts Olympic Gold into corporate wisdom. With a live demonstration on the pommel horse, artfully blended into his speech, Peter uses the ROV principles to vividly describe requirements for a perfect 10 in business and in life. Audiences gain fresh perspectives on reaching higher levels of performance, using their creativity to separate them from the competition, and perfecting their needed skills on a daily basis. As Peter says, “If you want to be at your best when it really matters, you’ve got to be at your best when it doesn’t matter.” Humor, relevance to his audience, high energy, drama and standing ovations are all characteristic of this presentation.
Overcoming the Odds – World Class Performance in any Environment
You don’t need to tell Olympians that some things don’t always go according to plan. Every athlete has had to deal with setbacks and changing conditions. If organizations and individuals are going to thrive in any environment, they will need to take calculated risks, continually innovate, and take their products or service to entirely new levels of performance. This process never ends. Using his effective ROV principles, Peter vividly describes the lessons learned from setbacks and mistakes, how to fuel the creative process, and how to achieve world class performance, even when circumstances are less than desirable. Peter’s personal experiences, as well as those of recent Olympic athletes help to reinforce the message that with proper planning and focused drive, we can overcome hardships and achieve results that elevate us above the rest of our competitors.
Teamwork — Getting your Team on the Podium
Gymnastics, while a team sport, is based entirely on a collection of individual performances for its outcome. At the Olympic Games, while he was competing with his teammates, Peter was simultaneously competing against them for individual medals. So how did these individual athletes work together on a daily basis for the benefit of the team? Using the ROV principles, Peter answers this important question, describing the tools you and your team can use, every day, to reach the top of your Olympic Podium.
Innovation — Pushing The Envelope
One of the reasons gymnastics is the most watched event of the Olympic Games is that the viewer can always expect something new and different from the athletes. Gymnasts are masters at pushing the envelope, as they constantly try to reinvent their athletic art form. Innovation also involves some risk, and Peter shows how ROV: Risk, Originality, and Virtuosity, can become a mandate for constant change in his sport and in your business. In describing how we need to stop playing “catch up” with the competition, Peter says, “A perfect 10 just a few years ago may only score an 8.5 today. If you don’t innovate, you’ll be left behind very quickly!”
