Peter was wonderful! As our MC and Keynote Speaker, Peter created the perfect atmosphere to bring our team together for the first time in 3 years. He was so relatable, had such fun and engaging intervals, so relevant, impacting everyone in the room. This set us up for the entire week! His before and after assistance was invaluable. Contributing to the agenda, and how to run collaborative sessions effectively! We were referring to him all week! WONDERFUL!!!

I am so glad that serendipity was in play to have the chance to find you. You were simply incredible in your presentation and your content will forever change the way that I work and think about work. Thank you for giving your session all the passion you did because it really made an impact.
Group Chief People Officer & Kingpin Chief Operations Officer, Australia
Peter was an absolute delight to work with! His message was a positively perfect fit for our business and his delivery was nothing but engaging every second he was on show. Our team responded immediately to his teaching, with over 85% of the attendees taking Peter’s message and implementing in the way they manage and communicate with their team. We have since seen an increase in team engagement within these venues and are constantly looking for new ways to inject Peter’s mottos for life and work in everything we do. A must experience for any business who want to increase employee and customer engagement!.
