More about Peter:
Peter is an international speaker, public speaking coach, author of “THE CAPTIVATING PUBLIC SPEAKER“, now a six-time award winner and international business book of the year runner-up.
As a child with a lisp and a stutter, a public speaking career for Peter didn’t seem to be in the cards. But with the help of his coach and his dogged persistence, he did the work and has indeed become amazingly successful. He has given speeches and presentations in front of millions of people and has now written a book that I consider the best out there on crafting and delivering impactful presentations. As a speaking coach, he helps experts develop into confident public speakers who understand how to engage, impact, and inspire their audiences.
