"On November of 2000 at Interlaken, Carlos was able to deliver one of the most memorable events in the history of ABN AMRO Private Banking."

- Armand Kersten, Group Legal Director at Horus Europe Holdings Limited (former Head of Global Compliance - ABN AMRO Private Banking), Rotterdam, NL

"Carlos is a great guy, very empathetic. 

He knows what he is talking about and is a living example for what he stands for. It's learning by doing!   Passion is Carlos' driver. A passion to deliver results. Performance is one, but Carlos takes you to the next level: Peak Performance. Which is a state of mind and body. It's this combination which brings you to perform your personal best."

- Andre Smits, Managing Director, Head Wealth Management Benelux at Deutsche Bank, Amsterdam, NL

"I met Carlos through an ABN AMRO Colleague as he is known for successful seminars

which he's been organizing for ABN AMRO Bank. In June 2007, the Young Bankers Association realized a High Performance Seminar and hired Carlos Salum for these two days. It was simply the best and most efficient seminar in regards of thinking out of the box, getting creative and powerful after fully booked two days.  He gave us a kick of motivation and all participants left the seminar with a huge smile and satisfaction. He made us realize how complex we think in our daily business, whereas easy and simple we could keep it by looking at things from a different perspective and being more successful. He had such a good impression on the young bankers, as he acts like a colleague, a friend, sometimes like a mentor, a coach... Meeting, experiencing and listening to him during his seminar was for me a huge added-value. I like the way he teaches, the very simple comparisons and stories, which you can remember your whole life long..."
