The natural beauty of sailing is inspirational - it excites the imagination for all of us.  Sailing has long provided companies with themes and analogies for products, services and campaigns. Navigation, teamwork, decision-making under changing conditions, and competition at the highest level are a few of the nautical themes that resonate with the world of business. Two time America’s Cup winner, television announcer and best selling author, Peter Isler can provide your group with a unique and inspirational experience where he brings these messages and themes and weaves them into your world.  

Isler is a popular motivational speaker, drawing analogies from his success in America's Cup and grand prix sailboat racing to success in your business.  For over twenty years Isler has entertained and motivated a wide variety of groups including a host of Fortune 500 companies.  His popularity is due to his strong message and his ability to customize his presentation to suit the needs of the group. Presentations often incorporate video of exciting sailing action that bring the nautical element to life for the audience.  Isler's business book - At The Helm – Business Lessons for Navigating Rough Waters (Doubleday, co-written with Peter Economy) takes a similar course to his presentations.  In it he shares his lessons as well as those from some of the world’s most successful business people (and sailors) including Ted Turner, Roy Disney, Rich DeVos, Dennis Conner, and Phil Knight.  Isler is not just another retired sports figure trying to make it on the motivational speaking circuit - he remains active both in his sport competing at the highest levels (America's Cup) and as a television personality (VERSUS).  

  Making the connection:  Some powerful themes from Peter's presentations are shared here. 

Team Building: Peter can also help you produce a memorable sailing experience for your clients – either on his home waters in San Diego or anywhere else the sea meets the shore.  Team building sailing competitions are popular events that provide both entertainment and valuable lessons for the group.

Peter Isler – a brief resume   

A testimonial from Keith Markley,  President, Eastern Region,  Covad Communications

"Thank you for an excellent presentation on "Navigating Rough Water's" during Covad's Eastern Region Sales & Marketing conference... The rules and strategies employed in grand prix sailing are indeed very transferable to business,  and to our industry in particular.  Feedback on the session has been very positive and the presentation helped to end our meeting on a high note.

We also truly appreciate the high level of effort you took to insert Covad and industry-specific references into the presentation.  This is often the most important element to drive home the relevance of the analogies and parables in an inspirational speech.

A testimonial from Bob Kreger – Vice President, Sales, NEXTLINK Communications:

"On behalf of NEXTLINK and the nearly 250 NEXTLINK employees who listened with great interest to your presentation, Thanks!! The parallels you draw between your success in sailboat racing and success in our day to day business, both in your live presentation and your book, AT THE HELM , is noteworthy."
