TESTIMONIALS: 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. -Hilton Hotels 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. - BHP Billiton The charisma and insight you brought to your presentation made our meeting truly inspirational. I know I can speak for the entire team when I say we have all benefited greatly from the ideas you shared. Thank you for your contributions in making this day a perfect 10! - Allstate Insurance Co. Thought you would like to know that our meeting evaluations are in and you were a hit! Which made us look very smart in front of our customers...so as far as Comdata's performance in inviting you: 10 for originality, 10 for virtuosity, and even though having you on our program was no risk at all, I still give us a 10 for a decision that was Rewarding! Many thanks. - Comdata Your keynote presentation was awesome! 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.
