Ross and his books have been featured on thousands of television and radio programs over the years including CNN, ESPN, Bloomberg, Fox News, and “CBS This Morning,” as well as in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and USA Today. He’s spent the better part of the past 25 years studying the DNA of championship teams and his program, “The Champion’s Code: Building Relationships Through Life Lessons of Integrity and Accountability from the Sports World to the Business World,” not only illustrates what it takes to become the best of the best, it also explores the fine line between cheating and gamesmanship in sports as it relates to values and integrity in the workplace.
As a working member of the media in his home state of Minnesota, Ross has a unique behind the scenes access to all of the local sports franchises in the area, including the Vikings, Twins, Timberwolves, Wild and Gophers. As such, he spends lots of his time in dugouts, club houses, locker rooms, and press boxes — and it’s here where Ross has met and interviewed thousands of professional athletes over the years. Ross’ program is all about the DNA of what makes champions in sports so unique and how that relates to business. His PowerPoint is full of amazing photos about inspirational sports stories and about successful teams that tie into ethics and accountability, and about doing things the right way — with respect. There are reasons certain teams win consistently, whereas others don’t… and he explains why. It’s based largely on the “Good to Great” concept of how the best companies are able to separate themselves from the rest of the pack through servant leadership, by creating a culture of excellence, by developing deeper relationships, and by giving extraordinary customer service.
Ross speaks at over 100 conferences per year, mostly at large association conferences, at franchise leadership events, and to Fortune 500 sales groups — his program is very high energy and a great way to open or close a big event. Give him a call, he would LOVE to be a member of YOUR team for the day!

Ross’ program is all about the DNA of what makes champions in sports so unique and how that relates to business. It’s based on a series of books he wrote in which he was able to interview more than 1,000 professional athletes and coaches that all had one thing in common — they were all members of championship teams. In his research he concluded that the same metrics and characteristics that were common among champions in sports, were also common among peak performers in business. There are reasons certain teams win consistently, whereas others don’t… and Ross explains why. It’s based largely on the “Good to Great” concept of how the best companies are able to separate themselves from the rest of the pack through servant leadership, by creating a culture of excellence, by developing deeper relationships, and by giving extraordinary customer service. Ross weaves sports stories, about the DNA of champions, along with stories of companies who he has worked with around the world — and shares best practice ideas on ways to overcome disruption, while ultimately building stronger relationships. At the core of his message is the simple fact that we like to do business with people who we trust, who we like, and who just “get it”
— CHAMPIONS.
In an engaging, provocative, and visually entertaining style, Ross will use inspirational stories
and poignant life lessons from the world of sports to show attendees how to:
Ross, I wanted to drop you a note to share a small but impactful story. I am working through mid-year reviews with all of my key reports and I had one leader that has really been on fire this last quarter in many different ways. When I asked what has been the difference in performance, he shared that he felt so inspired by YOUR speech at our management conference that it forced him to do a little soul searching and realize he was not coming close to touching his potential. What an impact! Thanks, man!
Ross, Australia already misses you! We miss your energy and your positive attitude towards life! Your presentation was so powerful. Thanks again for your contribution into making our conference such a great success. More importantly, thanks for doing your bit in the world — instilling values and sharing wisdom to make the world a better place — and to make us into better human beings. I am so looking forward to our next audience to hear your story in Singapore — they too will be bowled over!
