ROSS BERNSTEIN
TESTIMONIALS
“I was able to experience Ross Bernstein’s presentation (The Champion’s Code) on the difference between an athlete and a champion at a recent Meeting Professionals International event. It was a phenomenal experience, so motivating and real. It gave me the push I need to reach higher in my leadership roles both at Medtronic, Inc. and within MPI. Ross is engaging, gets to the heart of the point and keeps the audience’s attention like not many others I’ve seen. I would definitely recommend him for your next meeting or event.”

“Ross, I want to thank you for making me look good! It’s sometimes so difficult to select a speaker that truly incorporates values, lessons learned and key takeaways for meeting attendees. Thank God I chose you to speak for MEA’s Leadership Training Track at our Annual Operations Conference! You were able to demonstrate to the MEA members the ‘Miracle’ that lies within all of them. Leadership, Ethics, Team Building and Motivation are all keys to a successful organization, a rewarding career and a happy life. You gave them real life examples of each quality – amazing! The comments and evaluations were very positive, and especially for the MEA audience of hard-working utility personnel, your examples of athletes (both women and men) that set themselves apart, not only by their actions, but also by their words and deeds, kept them interested and engaged. You added a unique perspective to a fairly technical and operational conference that was a breath of fresh air. Thank you!”

“Ross presented to roughly 500 of our executives at our annual leadership conference in Chicago. The theme for our group’s strategy evolved around the ‘Miracle on Ice’ story and the core messages of Speed, Creativity, Conditioning and Team Chemistry. As we dug into the ‘Miracle’ story, we became intrigued to understand more about Herb Brooks’ leadership lessons and formula for success. I believe there is no one more qualified to share Herb’s story and insights than Ross. From my first conversation with Ross, he was very passionate about helping us build our own ‘gold medal’ winning team. Prior to presenting at the meeting, Ross went above and beyond to do a tremendous amount of research and interviewing to truly understand our company, our culture and our priorities. The insights he gained allowed him to tailor his messages, rhetoric and stories to our team. Ross is a humble, yet very energetic speaker. He brought Herbie’s story and lessons to life by sharing various stories, quotes and anecdotes from this remarkable coach, mentor and leader.”

“Having the good fortune to have witnessed some great presentations throughout my career in the various associations that I belong to, I was not only inspired, but I was mystified by Ross’ knowledge, expertise and pure passion for a topic that I know nothing about. I am not a sports enthusiast, but every time he related a sports story to a business principle, I was immediately able to draw a connection. I had a lot of take-aways. It was fantastic!”
