More Testimonials:  

"I usually introduce Carlos as the man who is bringing together opposite things and throws them on the table to serve a higher cause.  Those opposites are his sensitivity, his compassion, his strong feeling, his perfectionism.  He does not settle, he's a pain in the butt until something meets his perfectionist's standards, so he can deliver fantastic stuff.  He has a very open mind.  He's totally reliable and what he delivers meets all needs, both intellectually and emotionally.  I recommend Carlos to clients as a "friend of Humanity" who aims to serve its future with a variety of tools.  Carlos is a very rare combination of holistic approach, seeing multiple interdependencies and being able to wrap it up into one package that appears as a unity. He realizes this with a humble communicative approach that gives his interlocutors always the sense that he is there to serve them. As his client one is always feeling safe; he delivers and over-delivers everything promised in due cause.”

"Carlos is a professional international consultant with good culture, very reliable both for himself and for his international connections. He is "simpatico." He is also honest, trustable, capable and does not lose his temper. I would give him trust, responsibility and control over a project."

"Carlos is a great guy, very empathic. He knows what he is talking about and is a living example for what he stands for. It's learning by doing!   Passion is Carlos' driver. A passion to deliver results. Performance is one, but Carlos takes you to the next level: Peak Performance. Which is a state of mind and body. It's this combination which brings you to perform your personal best.”

“I experienced Carlos as a very professional Keynote Speaker during a Top Management Development Seminar. The topic was Peak Performance and the whole group appreciated his speech and the tools Carlos introduced.”

 “I've worked with Carlos on several projects over the past few years after having been introduced to him by a mutual friend. In every instance he has been highly responsive, focused, well organized, and extremely efficient. His depth of insight when dealing with complex situations is impressive, as is his knowledge base. Given his energy, professionalism and relentless drive for customer satisfaction, I'd recommend Carlos to any prospective client without reservation.”

“Carlos Salum is a unique talent for developing high performance business teams. Whereas most business leaders tend to think of performance coaching as a one-off affair, usually to be conducted in inspirational formats at management off sites and then promptly to be forgotten once everyone has returned to work, Carlos understands deeply from his long history of success in coaching sports players at the highest international levels that high performance development is a long term affair involving multiple facets of individual and team commitment, training and practice. Carlos takes serious business performance development to new levels, all the while applying an international sophistication and urbane geniality to the process.”

“Carlos is dynamic, detail oriented and an engaging facilitator. His insight and vision is unmatched. He knows how to get individuals and teams in the mind set to become consistent peak performers. I highly recommend Carlos as a performance architect for your team or organization.”

 “Carlos is the rare individual with a unique gift – helping people and businesses achieve their personal best in their avocations and professions. His ability to translate his life’s experiences in world class sports, business and medicine to helping others achieve their Peak Performance in Sports or Business is amazing. But, then, Carlos is an inspirational and amazing person. From the first day I met Carlos on the tennis courts, I was impressed by his passion and pursuit of excellence in every aspect of life, and his humbleness despite his many successes. Like some of the best coaches I’ve known, he has the ability to understand & identify one’s potential and translate those potentials into a training roadmap. But, Carlos goes beyond traditional performance training and takes us down our personal path of achievement through performance concepts painted into word pictures and conveys these concepts of performance improvement in a manner that can be understood at all levels of acuity and needs so we can go beyond our personal best. As a business professional and former professional athlete I am always looking for an edge over the competition. And, though I have had the sports mental toughness training and traditional performance analysis from “business performance programs”, Carlos has taken me to the NEXT LEVEL of my personal PEAK PERFORMANCE, and I believe he can do the same for anyone or any organization. His successes with the world’s top athletes and business leaders speaks for itself.”

“Carlos is a consultant, trainer and coach who is able to successfully apply the same techniques in the business world that have brought out peak performance for some of the finest tennis players on the professional circuit. He is a very creative, dynamic and results driven individual who cares about the people he helps.”

 “Carlos is one of the most unique individuals that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He has an intense, passionate and caring focus to assist his clients and friends to achieve their maximum potential - peak performance. He is very intelligent from a logical perspective and even more interesting because of his creative mind and kind temperament. His business and coaching models are based on extensive personal and international experiences. They are simple and complex at the same time with the result of improvement when harnessed by his clients. Regardless of your relationship with Carlos, you will be a better person for the experience.”

“I have had the privilege to set up several Peak Performance Workshops that Carlos has facilitated. Participants invariably score their experience as superlative but even more significant are the numerous success stories that the participants have eventually shared with me personally. I am very pleased to recommend Carlos as a dynamic contributor of the key insights that are embedded in his Peak Performance Framework. Feedback received also indicate that participants in Carlos' workshop have enjoyed their experience participating in Carlos' workshops as well. I'm delighted to share that I have personally reaped rewards as a function of Carlos Workshop through: 1) gaining insights relating to my personal endeavors; 2) beneficiary of enhanced credibility with other workshop participants by virtue of the returns they have experienced through my recommendation; 3) participation in new communities of thought as inspired by Carlos' workshops.”

“Carlos Salum has developed his Peak Performance Architecture to help business professionals move from wishful thinking to 300% achievement, and I am reaping those benefits already. He thinks with enormous creativity, is calm and insightful, and delivers everything he promises.”

“Carlos is the biggest and brightest business thinker I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He has made it his goal in life to find out what makes successful people tick, and to teach others how to achieve personal and professional breakthroughs. The fact is, most people are stuck in conventional ruts and need someone to come in and challenge the status quo. For me, the best person I know to call when I'm confronted with inertia or indecision is Carlos.”

“Carlos was originally hired as a mental toughness coach & trusted advisor for my daughter who is a nationally ranked tennis player. He is a true professional as he understands the importance of building a sincere relationship as he works with his clients to implement the life cycle techniques of Peak Performance. He is highly skilled in active listening and is very careful not to diagnose and prescribe prior to assessing the critical issues. He has also helped my son in basketball with great success. Additionally I have also applied many of his great techniques in the business world with great success. Bottom line.....I would not hesitate to recommend Carlos for both personal family needs and or professional business requirements!!!”

He has had a number of incredibly diverse jobs, such as tennis pro and playwright and his understanding of the dynamics of personal performance is expansive and spot-on. I recommend him without reservation.”

“Carlos has been a tremendous resource in helping me establish a new company. He’s helped me transition out of a corporate job, helping me break out of my old way of thinking and patterns of behavior, helping me become more aware of my strengths and capabilities and more confident of making a go of it on my own. He’s been tremendous in helping me explore what my new business will stand for, how to talk about it, what it will deliver, and bringing it all together to develop a solid value proposition. Beyond that Carlos has been very creative in thinking about a variety of different marketing initiatives that will help me get established and achieve success as soon as possible. To top it all off he’s helped me get my golf handicap down to single digits. Whether you’re starting your own business or trying to reach the top of your game in your current role, Carlos without a doubt will help you get there.”

"He is one of the most honest people I know, a warm and most trustable man, someone who always wants to learn and never stops learning. It is a pleasure working with and learning from him. It is never boring because you always learn something about yourself. Because of his great knowledge, he can always give the best advice, but above all, the human being is first: he does business with and for human beings."
