With remarkable candor and alacrity, Shlomo keeps his audiences spellbound with his accounts of the intense training, ruthless competitive atmosphere, and performance requirements of professional football life. He relays his personal breakthroughs and accomplishments during his five years with the Green Bay Packers and two years with the Dallas Cowboys playing for legendary coach Jimmy Johnson alongside hall of fame quarterback Troy Aikman and record-breaking running back Emmitt Smith.

Shlomo has been a superstar in the world of business since his retirement from the NFL. Relating his experiences as a professional athlete, a sales and marketing executive, and an observant Jew, Shlomo’s presentations bring audiences laughter, inspiration and valuable insights into both life and business.

His highly accessible personal style and down-to-earth manner have charmed audiences of a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, many religious upbringings, and assorted age groups.

He is a beacon of light for people craving meaningfulness in a dog-eat-dog world of materialistic values and personal isolation.

SPEAKING TOPICS

Touchdowns are a Team Effort - Offensive Play in a Defensive World

Personal excellence begins with doing more than what’s expected - more than what the terms of the contract specify. The NFL is not for the faint-hearted, you must be over-the-top crazy, hyper-intense, super-focused, and totally dedicated. Shlomo shares his day-to-day life in the NFL - five years with the Green Bay Packers and two years with the Dallas Cowboys - and why NFL players must do more than what is expected. To succeed in the ultra-competitive NFL Shlomo always did more than what was required by his coaches or listed in his contracts. “Just enough” was never enough for Shlomo. It’s all about doing more - run more, lift more, study more. The same rules apply to finding success in life. Shlomo’s motto is "JUST DO MORE"!

In Overdrive At Over Time – Consistently Doing More Than What’s Expected

He lived the glamorous life of a retired NFL player – gorgeous rambling houses, shiny red convertibles, cocktails by the pool, sinking a putt on the 18th hole as his Super Bowl ring glittered in the Florida sun. He loved the attention, the fast pace, the invitations, and the fascinating people … But he was increasingly aware of a blankness in his heart and an emptiness in his soul. Something he could not quite put his finger on. As Shlomo reacquainted himself with the teachings, values, and practices of Jewish life he began to get a glimpse of what was missing. The more he studied the Torah, the more he found inspiration for his own life. In this very personal presentation, Shlomo shares the steps that have led to his own spiritual journey where he has found a deepening sense of contentment and a renewed sense of purpose.

My Teshuvah Journey: Steps to Self-Discovery in Size 14 Shoes

Every CEO needs a great offensive line to deliver a performance worthy of a Vince Lombardy trophy. The same skills and qualities that enable a player to win the game ball are those required to accomplish the spectacular effort needed to enable your team to meet shareholder expectations and deliver consistent customer value. We all need a team that can score a touchdown, but it’s how we get there that counts – the work, discipline, focus, dedication and determination; and after the celebration, the high fives and the pats on the back! Shlomo details his five-point program that serves as the play book for your organization to score big; no matter how challenging the formation or how long the odds.
