Ruben’s Motivational Teamwork Presentations
Teamwork Secrets of a Four Time Olympian
Ruben trained for years as part of an international team made up up lugers from many different countries.
Even though they competed against each other at World Cup races, European Championships, World Championships and the Olympics, they understood that their best chance was to work together and help each other out during the training week.
This is because they were competing against powerhouse teams from Germany, Italy, Russia and Austria that would eat their lunch if they didn’t work together.
The video at the top of this page shows how Ruben’s team works together right before the Olympics.
It was shot at the Men’s Start House during the Vancouver Winter Olympics.

People Relate to Ruben Because He’s a Common Man Who Accomplished Some Uncommon Things
Ruben became a four-time Olympian in spite of not being a great athlete. In fact, all his life when kids were picking teams in P.E., Ruben was always the last kid picked.
This is critically important, because your audience will relate to Ruben much more than they would relate to someone like Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods.
If someone like Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods spoke to your people, subconsciously your audience would think, “That stuff will work for THEM, but it won’t work for me.”
However, after Ruben’s program, people think, “If THAT guy could make it to the Olympics four times, then I can do anything!”
When Ruben shares his story he’s transparent, open and vulnerable. He shares what it felt like when he was struggling, and how he got himself to stay in the game long enough to learn the skills he would need to succeed.
He makes a powerful human connection with his audiences. The most common comment he gets after his presentations is “You’re so real, you’re so genuine.”
Ruben’s incredible story takes people’s excuses away. People actually buy into what Ruben says because they can relate to him.
Isn’t that what you want? For your people to start applying some proven success principles so they can be more productive and get better results?
Ruben will inspire and equip your people to improve their performance and reach their goals.
