During Naber’s climb to the top of the sports world and his subsequent role as a TV sports commentator and host, John has become an observer of excellence and outstanding motivational speaker. He has worked as a Master of Ceremonies, keynote speaker, seminar leader, panelist, moderator, and dinner speaker for small audiences of twenty to full auditoriums of 50,000.
What has made him a successful motivational speaker is that John has conceptualized an effective eight-step method (which he calls the “Gold Medal Process”) by which all people can see their dreams come true. His wide variety of Olympic stories involving discipline, dedication, sacrifice and teamwork, can make anyone feel like “going for the gold”. Mr. Naber uses his experience as an athlete and a television commentator to draw analogies between the graphic world of sports and the less easily seen battleground of business.
Naber customizes his material for each new audience, and using humor, he shares the "behind-the-scenes" stories of the athletes and their accomplishments while matching his comments to the specific needs of his audience. John is always well received by his audiences… the standing ovations, powerful reference letters, and return engagements testify to his speaking abilities.
Suggested Speaking Topics:
- The Gold Medal Process: Seeing your dreams come true

- Teamwork in a competitive world
- Character Driven Accomplishment
