EXPERIENCE RUSS PEAK!
Nationally Acclaimed Author, Entertainer, and Inspirational Speaker.
It's not often that you're able to find an award-winning magical entertainer, a powerful inspirational speaker, and one of the nation's leading authorities on youth motivation packaged into one powerful keynote presenter. Therefore, I would like to introduce you to Russ Peak.
Russ Peak is a dynamic one-of-a-kind presenter who knows how to take your audience beyond the limits of their imagination. He does this with an interactive performance of extraordinary mental feats, mind-boggling magic, incredible demonstrations of hypnosis, and a high-energy motivational message that is all blended together with a side-splitting dose of comedy!
Since 1993, Russ has performed his dynamic mix of 'Magic of the Mind' over two-hundred times each year for a variety of audiences. He has been featured nationwide at both corporate and campus events, by cruise ships and resorts, conventions and conferences, theme parks and fairs, on television, and by corporate giants including IBM, Compaq, AT&T, Intel, Yahoo, Hewlett-Packard, and Disney.
Russ Peak is an award-winning member of the Society of American Magicians and Hollywood's Magic Castle.
In 2001, Russ was offered his own showroom at a casino located on the World Famous Las Vegas Strip, an honor considered to be one of the highest compliments in the entertainment industry. There Russ was to present a nightly act showcasing his skills of comedy, mindreading, and stage hypnosis. However, after a brief trial period, Russ realized that Vegas was not where he wanted to be. This was not why he became an entertainer. He evaluated his situation and decided to focus his speaking where his passion lies - SPEAKING TO OUR NATION'S YOUTH.
Since that time, Russ has used his outstanding talents to entertain teens & young adult audiences to enhance his motivational presentations making him one of the most sought after keynote speakers in the fields of student motivation, teamwork and leadership. His assembly programs have changed the lives of over two-million teens in all 50 states. To this effect, the National Speakers Association (NSA) recently acknowledged Russ' commitment to excellence on the platform by honoring him with the Certified Speaking Designation (CSP), a recognition bestowed upon less than 10% of the thousands of professional speakers worldwide and even less than a fraction of a percent of entertainers.
Author of one of the leading books on TEEN SUCCESS and GOAL-SETTING skills Studies have shown that 85% of teens complete their higher education without learning the importance and technique for setting goals. So, in 2007 Russ took it upon himself (with the help of several leadership advisors, teachers, and youth speaking friends) to write 'Invent Your Future' - an interactive book that takes the sometimes confusing process of effective goal-setting and breaks it down to easy to understand steps in a way that today's youth can grasp. This book is available in bookstores world-wide and is the focal point of Russ Peak's workshop of the same name.
"As an educator and director of student activities I am always looking for ways, tools and resources to help my students succeed. I find Russ's book to be one of those tools. Russ has set up the book with stories that teach as well as enlighten and the tasks after each chapter are simple yet profound. My favorite stories, of course, are the ones where Russ reflects back to his days in school and comes to realizations that lessons are being taught by teachers in the simplest of manners and in the simplest of ways... one's that don't become evident until you get older. Russ has taken the complex and has made it simple for my students to digest and I thank him for that."

If you put your mind to it... ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
Russ says: "I believe that the technique and discipline used to accomplish any feat is within the grasp of each of us. We simply need to define our goals, push beyond the limits, and establish a path that will lead us to victory. You can go through life trying to predict the future... hoping and guessing what might happen tomorrow. Or you can decide what you want, go after it, and INVENT THE FUTURE!"
