Change is the name of the game in today’s world. Change is also one of our highest sources of anxiety and one of our biggest emotional obstacles. Peter speaks to the heart of the emotions surrounding change and helps create an internal infrastructure to not only weather the storm, but to ride the waves of uncertainty to new opportunities, impact and innovation.

Beyond the emails, phones calls, and meetings, what is it that you’re actually doing and who are you doing it for? Peter Katz helps your employees and members zoom out from the daily grind to get a bird’s eye view of the real work that they’re actually doing and connect to its potential impact. That reminder is a powerful catalyst for a newfound sense of motivation and inspires new perspectives for creative thinking and innovation.

We can’t help others unless we help ourselves. Through his “lifelines” concept, Peter Katz leads by example in encouraging attendees to nurture relationships with key people in their lives for whom there’s no disconnect between who they need to be on the outside and how they feel on the inside. In an age where mental health has never been more talked about or understood as vitally important, Katz’s keynote pierces the heart and mind and provides a platform for meaningful dialogue and support to happen.

No amount of expectations, deadlines, or performance targets can compete with an employee who genuinely believes in what they’re doing. That deep internal motivation and passion propels your team members to surpass their usual targets and move themselves and the organization forward in the process. Peter Katz helps your team drop in and connect to their purpose in the work that they’re doing, leading to a new level of output performance that you didn’t think was possible.

How do you find the strength and courage to “stay in it wholeheartedly” when life is constantly presenting you with new challenges? How do you stay connected to the bigger picture so you can create the positive impacts you wish to make?

Part concert, part keynote — Juno Award-nominated singer-songwriter Peter Katz draws on his experience of surviving and thriving in the music industry to motivate attendees to stay on their path wholeheartedly, while also being open to change and embracing the unexpected along the way.

Through his powerful songs and stories, Katz pulls attendees in and leaves them inspired to show up with purpose every day.

Audiences will learn:

• That we don’t always know the impact we have in the world, and why it matters how we show up everyday.
• How to feel more connected to the bigger picture of what they’re actually contributing towards beyond day-to-day challenges.
• How to nurture meaningful connections.

Katz offers follow-up sessions and/or workshops to facilitate deeper training on the topics covered in his presentation.

Part concert, part talk, Juno Award and Canadian Screen Award-nominated singer-songwriter and four-time TEDx fellow Peter Katz uses his journey from nervous first-timer at an open mic to playing to thousands of people all over the world, to show how he discovered the direct correlation between the moments of greatest discomfort and fear in his life, and his moments of greatest discovery and growth.

What’s on the other side of that cloud called fear? What happens when you do something you thought you were too afraid to do? As it turns out, our biggest challenges are our biggest opportunities, and through his songs and stories, Katz gives permission to his audience to bravely take on their own challenges and, in doing so, discover the important lessons and hidden joys that they contain.
