Russ Peak can captivate an audience and engage them in an experience that can best be described as truly magical as he weaves into his presentation a powerful and motivational message that leaves the audience recharged, ready, and eager to take on their challenges."

"I have been impressed with how our students as well as the students from our Leadership Conference still talk about your presentation. Not only were they amazed at the 'tricks of the mind' you performed, but they were honestly moved by your personal stories and challenges to them to be the best that they can be. In fourteen years of doing activities, I can tell you that I have never had an assembly that has had such a lasting, positive impact on our student body."

I wish I could hold the attention of my classroom like he held the attention of that group of kids.  His presentation is a mixture of motivation and magic. The students still talk about his performance and lessons they learned.  If you are searching for that perfect speaker look at Russ Peak.!"

"You were the highlight of the conference. I want to thank you for your professionalism prior to, during, and after the show. I have had many occasions in my 15 years of teaching and advising to contract with entertainers and speakers. You were the easiest to book, showed up 2 hours before the show, and didn't leave until you made sure  all questions were answered and that we were thoroughly satisfied.  It was very refreshing to deal with someone with such integrity, not to mention talent!"
