Leading in the Culture of Human Potential

• Energize Your Work: Igniting the 212th Degree

  Corporate performance is individual performance. In nature, at 211 degrees water is hot, at 212 it boils. In business, one more degree of energy can make the difference between success on the back burner and a full-throttle head of steam that drives innovation and productivity. Yet many organizations simmer for years agonizingly short of maximizing their culture of human potential. This keynote turns up the heat another notch with strategies that everyone on the team can use to ignite the four dimensions of energy that power them to succeed personally and professionally.

This energizing speech encourages professionals who believe that the ultimate result of focused energy and increased zeal for their labors is not only greater quality service for the clients and customers but also more energy at the end of the day, from the up-feeling of a job well done, to take home and share with their family.

• Journey to Everest: Celebrating Unsung Heroes

  Peter inspires peak performance by getting to the bottom of an unforgettable journey to the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal. He didn't make it to the top of the roof of the world.

This is the story about the rest of us, the hardworking professionals behind the scenes who succeed when others succeed. This presentation is a celebration of the heroes we meet along life's journey and those who dedicate their time and talent in the service of others whether for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
