“Pete helped me win the World Championship for the second time. The man is a legend.”
“I had worked with Pete on a virtual event during the pandemic and just knew he was the guy for this job… but I still managed to underestimate just how lucky I was to have selected such a professional and humble person to work with. To give you just a taste of the reaction Pete achieved in room, I recommend you take a look at the comments on his LinkedIn posts. Pete doesn’t just deliver; he goes above and beyond… and then beyond that. His delivery and energy draw in even the most reluctant audience participants, he is absolutely mesmerising when on stage. When he takes on an event, his commitment to the event success is just incredible and simply put is the best I have ever worked with and am feeling incredibly lucky to have had the please again.”
“Pete was absolutely brilliant, he delivered a highly energised, thought provoking presentation. He was incredibly engaging and interacted well with the audience. I didn’t hear a bad word about him which is the highest accolade I can give him with our lot! We were also incredibly impressed with his follow up video clip. He was incredibly professional and an all round, good guy!”
“Pete was a superb keynote speaker! He took a great deal of time prior to the conference undertaking his due diligence as to what we at New leaf required from him. After exploring one avenue, he did not mind in the slightest taking a full U-turn and developing a more appropriate theme for our business. The personal service form him was gratefully received. He was punctual and he stayed at the event for questions and photographs long after the scheduled time allocation as per contract. This too was greatly received. His highly motivational and informative speech got us all thinking about how we should behave and adapt to the business world. He was the centre piece to our day and he really delivered.”
“The session was what we really needed to refocus and re-energize our team. Pete helped us address some of them issues that have been inhibiting our performance and provided us with strategies to realise our potential and increase our productivity.”
