-VINCE LOMBARDI

TESTIMONIALS

As the CEO of the largest tax & duty free diamond retailer in the world, it's vitally important to support and set our team up for lasting success.

 

I have twice brought Rudi in to address my team, as the opening Keynote speaker at our annual conference.

​

Rudi powerfully disseminates info in a way that engages the entire team, with a unifying message. He has the ability to empower and inspire a team to take personal accountability and responsibility, for their position, setting themselves, and their teams, along with the company, up for success.

 

Rudi drives tangible, real time results that drive the bottom line.” 

Morris Gad - New York USA

Rudi is an absolute tower of power when it comes to empowering others, and his ability to deconstruct, disseminate and instill subject in a succinct way regardless of its complexity is his apogee. Great very many businessmen and women that I know he trained had their lives impacted significantly and I am one of them.  His business acumen is surpassed only by his genuine care and love for people that he works with, and when you do business with my friend, Rudi, you will have greatly enhanced your life in more ways than one.

Albert Weatherman  - Zagreb, Croatia

I’ve always been a very business orientated, it is through Rudi’s coaching that enabled me to see clarity in how to get to the next ‘level’ and see no end to how successful I can become. It is Rudi’s extremely high caliber of professionalism and his unrelenting passion for helping others to succeed in all avenues of their life that makes him able to lead others so efficiently. 

I am incredibly grateful for the time and effort Rudi has put into growing my professional life, and I only hope others can benefit from him as much as I. 

 

Thank you Rudi, for paving my way to success

W.A. Bates - London, England

The power of a healthy mindset:

 

I have been working with Rudi since 2017 to improve my mindset in both my personal and business life. I didn’t realize that a negative mentality was so transparent and could repel others, but with Rudi’s help I have become a more patient and positive thinker.

Alison Ryan - Michigan, USA

Thank you a million times over for growing not only my skills but my inner self too.

Jessica Whitehurst - London England

After more than 20 years in one career, Rudi helped me transition into an entirely new business direction. I have never encountered training as intense and laser focused as Rudi provided. His strategy was highly motivational, and he makes you believe that you can excel at anything. When I need inspiration to do a challenging task, I simply think of Rudi. His positivity and strength are contagious. 

Debra Schrills - Florida, USA

When I met Rudi, it was after my world had fallen apart, only I will ever know how important he was in holding my hand through it.

He facilitated a shift in me, by reminding me that I was not my emotions. That no matter what, we get to decide who we truly are, and every aspect of our lives makes us complete. He taught me to appreciate each aspect of my being. Rudi made my future predictable, in a way that I knew I was going to grow each and every day. 

Sanela Milošević - Belgrade Serbia

Saw this quote and it reminded me of my time training with you… “You don’t inspire people by showing them how amazing you are - You inspire them by showing them how amazing they are..!”  

 

Thank you for taking me to a new place in life!​

Monica H. - Atlanta USA

I was introduced to Rudi after my company plateaued. I needed a mentor that would make a real difference.
Rudi spent an initial 7x days inside my business. Understanding what I did, why and when I did certain things in order to truly understand the outcome.
He was quickly able to identify missed opportunity (and why) Then able to change the result by teaching me new/different techniques, such as NLP in order to appeal to a much larger audience and to be more effective in my strategy of new business.
The results were incredible in all areas of the business as well as in my personal life by implementing a strategic plan to success and well-being.
His kind and genuine approach blended with his straight talking demeanor changed my life. 

Neil Pirie - London, England

There is no denying that the moment you meet Rudi, you are immediately captivated with his presence. The way he carries himself with the utmost respect not just for himself, but for anyone he comes into contact with. This was one of the first things I knew I wanted to learn from him, however I ended up learning far more than just theoretical knowledge.

I have personally reached professional levels I didn’t know were possible for me, while working with Rudi. His coaching stems from the core belief, that if you believe in yourself with every ounce of your being, nothing can stand in your way!

When I stumbled and became my worst critic, all it took was a call with Rudi, and just hearing him cheer me on and reminding me how grateful he was to work with me. He might not know it, but those words, changed everything. 

Anyone lucky enough to work with Rudi, will become a better person, and not just professionally. 

Chantelle Rabe - South Africa

Rudi has an incredible work ethic, and works very hard. Pushing himself, constantly striving to better himself & empower those around him. 

Rudi is highly effective in business & business strategy as well as building personal relationships through honestly and integrity. He is very focused & professional and has a very positive attitude

Ashok A. - Philipsburg St. Maarten

​

Rudi Riekstins has been without a doubt, a driving force for my personal and professional growth. As a public speaker he is a master of his craft and taught me to captivate audiences and retain the levels of attention and emotion for longer periods of time.

​

Training with Rudi was intense and challenging, but because of the work he made me put in, my life has taken a turn for the better. 

 

I will forever be grateful for the advice and tools he has given me both professionally and personally.

Fernando Sors - Tampico, Mexico

We all grow up learning about heroes; rarely do we meet one! The most meaningful heroes do not make themselves great compared to everyone - instead inspire the inner hero in everyone to become great. 

True wealth is wisdom, and admiration of those closest. You managed a lifetime of riches and wealth. Thank you for being an inspiration. 

Brandon Andrade - South Africa.

Rudi showed me that I am in charge of how I think and feel, he made me willingly walk out of my comfort zone & want to better myself in every possible way. 27 years of letting others hold me down are over, and today I step forward knowing I am in control and I deserve the future I am working toward.

​

What an incredible and life changing experience! 

Asheley Butkiewitz - Florida USA

Working with Rudi had been life changing, and at one point even life saving for me. What started as a professional relationship has developed into one of the most beneficial mentorships I could have asked for. Rudi supports me always with the perfect level of empathy and accountability - understanding when I need my hand holding and understanding when I need my butt kicking in a way that only a truly genuine person can. I’ve seen improvements in my professional life and my personal life, and have learned tools for success that I continue to use daily. I would (and often do) highly recommend Rudi for anyone looking for an intuitive, strategic and spiritual journey into their own potential.

Tess Hull - Manchester, England

​

Rudi Riekstins recently provided an outstanding keynote speech for a large group at our company. 

Rudi was an articulate and engaging speaker. His humble but magnetic character teamed with his extensive business knowledge and strategic planning makes him both an inspiring and educational presenter.

He had the ability to reach and connect with every participant in the room from the most willing, to the most reluctant. He held the room in his palm for 60 minutes and closed to a standing ovation. 

I would be honored to have him speak again, or to continue to use his talents in a coaching capacity. 

Ruth King - New York USA

I was fortunate enough to receive one week of intensive business training with Rudi Riekstins. I had known people who had benefited from a week much like this and prepared me with comments of “I only wish I had met Rudi sooner”. We went to work the moment we shook hands signaling the start of the week. Within hours I could already feel that I was not just getting a cheer leader but someone that is willing to do what ever it takes to ensure that I was a better version of myself in seven days. There was no doubt about it. Constantly enforcing the strength of your authentic self combined with holding yourself at the highest level of integrity at all times will ensure that you can consistently do good business. When you combine an incredible attention to detail, a deep appreciation for the art of communication along with a vast knowledge of human behavior patterns as some his tools that he uses to fine tune you towards success, there is no mystery as to why I was able to add my name to the growing list of people that have seen, and continue to see, a positive impact in their business (and earnings) thanks to Rudi.

Ryan Gronbeck - Durban South Africa

I can say without a doubt, Rudi has grown our business since working with him. To be more specific he grew our  income within the first year about 10%, the second year for about 25%, and within our third year, I can confidently say about 45-50%. 

Rudi has not only influenced our current business, but all our future ones, with the experience, and the knowledge of how to conduct business.

Vanja Cosic - Trbovlje, Slovenia

Rudi has helped me both professionally and personally in a myriad of ways, many of which overlap. It all begins with mindset. He lays out actionable steps to help you achieve a positive belief mindset that is crucial in any circumstance, albeit it personal or professional. But where Rudi really excels is helping you take any task/challenge/goal to the next level. He has an unwavering belief and faith in you - sometimes more than you have in yourself- and having that rock to lean on is imperative and necessary when you are “leveling up”. He always demands and expects the best of you - he sets the bar very high. In return, Rudi provides a level of consistency that is unparalleled. He always shows up, brings his A game and puts his heart, soul, blood, sweat, tears, and most importantly LOVE into every aspect of his business. This isn’t your ordinary coaching program which is why you will experience extraordinary results if you are open to putting in the time and effort.
