At the Olympics in Montreal, John Naber captured four goal medals, becoming America’s most decorated athlete at those games. During his climb to the top of the sports world and his subsequent role as commentator and host on ABC’s Wide World of Sports and ESPN, John has become an observer of excellence and an outstanding motivational speaker. "Olympic Champions are not extraordinary people," say Naber. "They are ordinary people who have accomplished extraordinary things in the area of their lives that matters most to them."

Eight simple steps to personal and professional success…that’s what an audience get from Naber’s though-provoking "Gold Medal Process." John has conceptualized an effective method by which we all can see our dreams come true. His wide variety of Olympic stories involving discipline, dedication, sacrifice and teamwork, can make anyone feel like "going for the gold." Using his experience, covering over thirty different sports during six Olympic Games, including Nagano, Japan, John draws analogies between the graphic world of sports and the less easily seen battleground of business. His practical insights have resulted in countless accolades testifying to the value of his humorous and content-filled presentations, which are always custom-tailored for each audience.

John’s new book, Awaken the Olympian Within…Stories from America’s Greatest Olympic Motivators," is a collection of inspirational essays from 29 Olympians, which he has masterfully compiled and edited. The book includes personal anecdotes of struggle and triumph which can often motivate the reader to achieve their own dreams in almost any endeavor.

Teamwork in a Competitive World top of page
In many cases, the greatest challenge to an American’s hope for the gold, is often another American. How do the great Olympic athletes achieve excellence, without losing the ability to be good team players? Learn how members of your staff or co-workers can lift the whole division or company, while still seeking individual glory.

Motivation: The Feeling Before the Achievement
Most people think they are moved by money, fame or power. Wise managers are able to look beyond these three to the more powerful ingredient that these factors all have in common.
