Victor Gonzalez
From food stamps to Vice President of Sales in a $3B company, to President of Global Sales and Marketing for a $420M company to CEO of a high-tech company which was acquired by a Fortune 1000 company. This is the extraordinary success trajectory of Victor Gonzalez, one of America's top Hispanic motivational speakers and sales trainer.

Many speakers only talk about success in esoteric terms (i.e., warm and fuzzy language). Victor is one of the few speakers in the market who has proven himself in business before making the decision to become a sales trainer and motivational speaker. His sales training programs and motivational keynotes combine useful, real world content with humor and a dash of human irony.

Though poor and disadvantaged, Victor turned misfortune into success by taking advantage of government education grants for under-privilege families and worked hard to receive a Bachelor's of Science degree in Electrical Engineering. He later went on to receive a Master in Business Administration (MBA).

In business, he was selected from over 500 sales managers to join the President's Advisory Council in 1999 and 2000 for excellence in sales and management. As President of Global Sales and Marketing, he was fortunate enough to conduct business internationally: Europe, Asia, Latin America, The Caribbean, South Africa and The Middle East giving him an international perspective on sales success and motivation.
Victor also worked with young people and has donated some of his time to speaking in the college market. The result? In 2003 he was nominated Best Speaker in the College Market and was the winner of the Best College Diversity Speaker.
As a sought after sales trainer and motivational speaker, Victor helps people align their strengths and their passion in order to produce personal and financial success. He has written several books including: "The Corporate Inferno" which is a philosophical treatise on ethics in business, "The Logic of Success" which is about the 'logic' of why some people fail while others succeed. He is currently finishing his latest project, "The Sales Asylum: You Have to Be Crazy to Be in Sales"; a sales training system based on his vast experience of what works and what doesn't.
If you're looking for a dynamic and entertaining speaker with great content, Victor Gonzalez will fill that bill. If you've never seen Victor work an audience, then your missing out on what is an original approach to educating an audience without putting them to sleep. His humor and energy separate him from the ordinary and move him into a category of a new breed of speakers with genuine content and a powerful delivery. As Victor says, "Upgrade your training (and attitude), or downgrade your expectations."

All presentations and training sessions can be delivered in English or in Spanish. For more information and access to his videos, go to www.VictorGonzalez.com .

Ruben Gonzalez
A three-time Olympian, a peak performance expert and a motivational speaker. As a Three-Time Olympian and a national luge champion, peak-performance expert Ruben Gonzalez knows how to achieve success again and again. A master storyteller, Ruben uses his Olympic experiences to inspire audiences to think differently, to live life with passion and to have the courage to take the necessary steps toward their goals– to push beyond their self-imposed limitations. To produce better results!

Ruben Gonzalez is one of the most genuine, approachable people you will ever meet. He has made a difference in many people’s lives but, when asked about his success, Ruben insists that he is the one who has been blessed. Ruben attributes much of his success in life to his beliefs that “life is an adventure” and that “you must dare to chase your dreams”. When he was a boy, Ruben read countless adventure books. These books instilled in Ruben a desire to live an adventurous life. Ever since he can remember, Ruben had a dream to compete in the Olympic Games. “I respected the Olympians because they were an example of all I believed in - they were willing to commit to a goal, willing to risk in the pursuit of it, willing to fail and to keep on trying until they succeeded.” Ruben was just an “average” athlete. He was a second stringer in his college soccer team. But something happened in 1984 that changed Ruben’s life. At the age of 21, Ruben saw Scott Hamilton win the Olympic Gold Medal at the Sarajevo Olympics and he was inspired to find a sport and begin training for the Olympics. 

In 1984 Ruben started training for the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. His sport - The Luge. Hurling down an icy track at over 80 MPH. Most Olympic luge athletes began luging at age 12. He wasn’t a gifted athlete and he didn’t take up the sport until he was 21. Against all odds, four years later he was competing in the Winter Olympics at the age of 39 and racing against 20-year-olds in the Salt Lake City Olympics! The challenges Ruben had to overcome make Ruben’s story powerful. Ruben has been called “the Rudy of the Olympics”. 
Many crashes and many broken bones later, Ruben’s dream became a reality when he qualified to compete in the Calgary Olympics. He went on to compete in the Albertville Olympics and in the Salt Lake City Olympics.

Out of all the Olympic Torchbearers, only 200 were Olympians. Ruben was one of the 200 Olympians selected to be an Olympic Torchbearer for the Salt Lake City Games. Ruben was chosen for the way he embodies the Olympic Spirit and for inspiring others to reach new heights. Mitt Romney, CEO of the Salt Lake Olympic Organizing Committee said “Ruben, you were a light of inspiration on the road to Salt Lake City.”  
Armed with the same energy and dedication that he put into his athletic career, Ruben brings to audiences of all sizes and backgrounds a truly unique, truly memorable performance that teaches as it entertains, and inspires as it motivates.

Ruben has appeared nationally on ABC, CBS, and NBC. Ruben’s been featured in Time Magazine, as well as publications in Canada, Germany, Switzerland, France, Austria, and Argentina. His articles on peak-performance are read in every continent.
 Mark Victor Hansen, the Co-author of the best selling Chicken Soup for the Soul Series said, “Ruben is living proof, having achieved the status of a 3-time Olympian, that it all begins with a dream. Ruben knows the steps necessary to “claim your phenomenal life” and is an earnest, committed advocate for helping others to do the same. His enthusiasm and positive attitude are contagious!”

 Ruben has the unique ability to inspire confidence, courage, and hope in people…to translate racing downhill, into Olympic-caliber results. He’ll have your people screaming down the hill at 90 MPH, taking a turn wrong, breaking bones, and still finding the way to get back up and do it again!

Ruben Gonzalez is the author of The Courage to Succeed. His presentations include Achieving Greatness; Commit to Win; No Guts No Glory; and Goal Setting Secrets from a Three-Time Olympian. To book Ruben call 281-333-1755.
