“Ross,
thank you so much for your amazing ‘Champion’s
Code’ presentation at S.P. Richards’ 2013 Advantage
Business Conference in Orlando. Your program scored
the highest rating in terms of overall value to
our customers and their businesses. Feedback forms
were jam-packed with superlatives like “Passionate!
Very inspiring!” and “Best motivational 75 minutes
I've ever attended.” The enthusiasm carried over
into the hallways after your sessions and a number
of people stopped me specifically to thank me
for hiring you. Thanks for helping to make our
2013 event the best ever!”
~ Sandra Williams, Director
of Dealer Training and Development, S.P. Richards
Company
"We
had Ross come in and be our keynote speaker at
our first ever awards banquet for about 200 people
in our sales operations and support organization.
He was very conscientious about meeting with me
beforehand and making sure to tailor his presentation
to our audience as well as the tenor of our meeting.
It is a tough audience in that it has a wide range
of people, from back office order entry folks
to people who do field training in a our highly
technical field to three sales VP's there to lend
support. Ross did a great job during his presentation
of capturing the attention of everybody in the
room with his attitude and enthusiasm but most
importantly with the substance of the message.
Everybody could find something to relate to, and
the message fit perfectly with what we were trying
to get across to the team. We gathered feedback
after the event, and it was literally universally
positive, with Ross's contribution a big reason
why. We will certainly be looking for opportunities
to work with Ross in the future."
~ Tim
Ertmer, Director, Boston Scientific Corporation
“Ross, you hit
it out of the park! Thank you for speaking to
the extended leadership team at OptumHealth. Your
energy was contagious and the feedback has been
overwhelmingly positive. Leaders appreciated you
weaving our business values and issues into your
presentation, and it was refreshing to have so
many winning sports stories that apply to our
workplace and competitive landscape. You have
the ability to tell very impactful and inspiring
stories; we appreciated having you join our team
for the afternoon!”
~
Sue
Mulkern, Vice President, OptumHealth
“Ross, Your presentation
is still ‘hanging’ with me. You are the best speaker
we have had at any function and I’ve heard from
many of the attendees on how much they enjoyed
it. My career as a Hotel General Manager is 20
years of service. Over that time I have had the
opportunity to hear many speakers for a variety
of brands from Carlson Companies, to Holiday Inn
and Marriott. I have heard and met Elizabeth Dole,
Jimmy Johnson, Marilyn Carlson Nelson, and many
other well known speakers, but your presentation
was the most heartfelt. Thank you again for the
presentation and the book, my husband loved it!”

ROSS
BERNSTEIN
Inspirational Business Speaker
& Best-Selling Sports Author |
|
BIO:
|
|
Ever
wonder why certain teams WIN consistently, whereas
others come up short? Ross explains WHY — in an engaging
and visually entertaining style that’s designed to
improve YOUR organization’s overall performance, morale
and bottom-line profitability...
The best-selling author of nearly
50 sports books, Ross Bernstein is an award-winning
business speaker who helps companies and organizations
perform more like CHAMPIONS. Ross and his books have
been featured on thousands of television and radio
programs over the past 20 years, including CNN, MSNBC,
CBS This Morning, FOX News, Bloomberg, ESPN, Sports
Illustrated and the CBC, as well as in the Wall Street
Journal, New York Times, L.A. Times, USA Today, and
Maxim Magazine.
Ross’ signature program, “The
Champion’s Code,” is based on more than six years
of research that resulted in two critically acclaimed
series of sports-business books. The first examines
how and why certain teams win world championships;
while the other chronicles the unwritten and unspoken
rules in the world of sports, or “codes” as they are
known, which explores the fine line between cheating
and gamesmanship — and the consequences involved when
that line is crossed.
In his presentation, Ross identifies
upwards of 100 unique characteristics and traits that
are common among champions, which he then ties into
poignant life lessons and inspirational stories that
relate back to his client’s event theme and desired
learner outcomes.
Based largely on the “Good to
Great” ideology of how the best companies are able
to separate them- selves from the rest of the pack
through dynamic leadership and extraordinary customer
service, Ross’ program reinforces the concept that
individuals win games, but TEAMS win championships.
Momentum, roles, buy-in, motivation, consistency,
sacrifice, trust, chemistry, work-ethic, innovation,
karma, and being humble — they’re all a part of what
it takes to become the best of the best — a champion
both on and off the field.
