- You Get a Peak-Performance Expert Let's face it. The speaking circuit is flooded with theorists. People who have textbook knowledge but no practical knowledge. Then, there are the successful celebrity speakers who can't explain how they became successful. Over the last 30 years, Ruben has read hundreds books on success, sales, psychology, personal development, and peak-performance. Then, Ruben applied his knowledge to create incredible success in several fields. Ruben's a four-time Olympian in the brutally tough sport of luge. He's a peak-performance expert with an unmatched track record selling copiers in one of the toughest territories in the U.S. Because Ruben has been a student of success for 30 years, he can explain the principles of success to his audiences. He breaks the success principles into easy to follow steps. His achievements give him the credibility he needs to get his audiences to buy into his success principles.

"Pass It On" is a ground breaking film about how anyone can change their personal or professional life by following universal success principles.
8- Most Importantly... 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 three times, then I can do anything!" Ruben's incredible story takes people's excuses away. Ruben’s audiences marvel at his openness, his genuineness and most of all his personal awareness and understanding of the challenges they face in their lives - as he inspires them to achieve their dreams. People actually buy into what Ruben says because they can relate to him. And 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? Why settle for any speaker when you can have one of the the best?
