Client reviews

  • You were right about Peter Sheehan – he was the best speaker we’ve hired to date! He was excellent. He customized the presentation to our theme and really got people thinking about how to take ownership of our brand. I found him intimate, inspirational and incredibly relevant.

  • Thank you so much for suggesting Peter. His presentation was exactly what we wanted. We were especially impressed at his homework and his knowledge of our industry; he could have been one of us.

  • He’s dynamic, engaging and fun. He interacts superbly with all ages and styles of managers and enables them to confront their own biases and blind spots. An extremely effective speaker, who I strongly recommend.

  • Peter Sheahan has empowered many of us at News Corporation to do more with less faster. His presentation and unique style are both engaging and inspiring–he has made a significant impact on many of our business leaders.

  • Thank you for your thought provoking presentation at Google’s HQ. You bring terrific energy to the Gen Y topic. A number of Google staffers reached out to say how much they enjoyed your thought/discussion provoking presentation. You gave us great insight into the minds of literally hundreds of potential Googlers. For us to better understand how to motivate and develop that talent will certainly be key to our continued success.

  • Peter joined us in Seattle to film a series of short videos to educate managers across Microsoft about generational change and it impact on the way we do business. His recordings were jam packed full of energy, insight and practical strategies any leader could use. Peter has built an excellent reputation around the world as the leader in his field, and our partnership together has proven this to me personally. I have no hesitation recommending Peter to any business looking to understand their new customers and staff, and to future proof their organization against the inevitable change they bring.

  • Peter wowed our audience and received glowing feedback in our post-event surveys. He went above and beyond and connected with the group in way that’s going to be hard for anyone to follow. As one attendee put it, ‘Are there no other ratings ABOVE excellent?? This was the best and most riveting speaker we have seen in awhile. He is a genius and can relate to our business, as well as any other. I give him a rating of 15 on a scale of 1-10!

  • Peter Sheahan was a big hit among the group! He obviously did his homework and understood the opportunities within our business. The energy is still high throughout our organization.

  • From the creatives in the editing rooms of LA, to the Chairman himself in New York, Peter has had a profound impact on this company. It is very rare, to find someone who is both engaging and whose work is clearly based on ground-breaking research and genuine insight into what makes a business and its leaders successful in today’s uncertain marketplace. I have no hesitation recommending Peter to any organization looking to drive innovation deeper in their company and wanting to inspire their leaders to think differently and take the necessary risk to future-proof their business.

  • You’ve been an absolute wonderful partner, adjusting to our transitions and pivots along the way. Brilliant. Agile. Trusted. Confidant. Integrity. Inspiring. These are some of the attributes I use when describing your contribution to AT&T. Thank you for what you have brought us… It is corporate life changing for us and you have left a lasting impression on the leaders of AT&T!

  • Sheahan was the best outside speaker we have had at this conference in 10 years. He added real value and he was able to put into words, what I have been feeling. His presentation was literally perfect.

  • Your insights were exceptional, and I appreciated the research you did and the focused attention you gave to our particular needs. Your content was spot on for this audience of global leaders and I sincerely enjoyed our time together and received many comments on the value you brought to our global managing partners meeting.
