Motivational Leadership Speaker Ruben Gonzalez
Commit to Excellence
Leadership Gold – Becoming a Great Leader
When Ruben got started in the luge he thought he could do it all himself. Along the way Ruben realized that he would need help. He needed coaches, sled mechanics, doctors, chiropractors, financial assistance, etc.
He needed to learn some leadership skills and create a team of people. Ruben was able to create a Dream Team and by working through his team he was able to realize his dream.
Ruben believes top leaders are trustworthy and passionate about their mission, and they have a high level of Emotional Intelligence which allows them to truly connect with their people. Those attributes make people want to follow them and fight for the leader’s goals.

Ruben on Leadership
Lots of people want to be the leader. Few people are willing to do what it takes to be the leader. Just like lots of people want to compete in the Winter Games but few people are willing to do what it takes to compete there.
The leader is focused 100% on their team and their goal.
They are constantly engaged. Constantly taking action, helping and teaching the people in their team. Willing to take risks.
Willing to outwork the competition. Willing to fail. Willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. They don’t wait till everything is perfect.
They do what they can with what they have right now.
Motivational leadership speaker Ruben will help your people achieve their goals faster.
Motivating Your People to the Top
Ruben has an incredible story.
He was always the last kid picked to play sports in PE. When he was 21 years old he decided he wanted to compete in the next Olympics.
He lived in Houston at the time. Didn’t even know what snow looked like.
He went to Lake Placid, took up the sport of luge and four years and a few broken bones later he was competing in the Calgary Winter Games.
He went on to become the first person to ever compete in four Winter Olympics each in a different decade.
As he jokingly says, “It doesn’t mean he’s good, it just means he’s old!” He competed in the Vancouver Olympics at the age of 47. Everybody thought he was a coach! But seriously, his story takes people’s excuses away because he’s an ordinary guy who did some extraordinary things.
