What others say about Peter

Peter is the coach and mentor you want by your side during those “headwind” situations, when progress seems difficult, as well as “tailwind” situations when the wind is at your back and there’s a need to sustain focus during fast-paced growth. He has a great instinct for bridging connections and a talent for delivering strategic solutions for optimal business impact.

Peter has a down to earth (personal) coaching style, with an ability to listen and jointly seek out what really works combined with a subtitle persistence to make sure I acted on my commitments. He was also there to help during minor crises, He is now at the top of my list of true change artists now. No hype, just honest help.

Peter has coached me weekly in the development of a new direction for my business. He is an excellent coach. He asks incisive questions and sets me on to action, if only because of the mere fact that he is there every week and we have agreed that I will tell him what I have done in the week before. This has resulted in focus, speedier development of my business ideas and a direction I’m happy with and probably would not have dared take without Peter’s work.

Peter helped us to re-focus on the most important drivers for success in our alliances. With his structured approach and year-long experience, he was able to instill passion and clear direction. We had a fruitful discussion with Peter and believe his support will help us to become even more successful.

I attended one of Peter’s workshops and it was an eye-opener for me. Not just the structure and work methods he offered but mostly his wealth of experience that he can use to reflect on your own situation and uncover areas for improvement. It gave me purpose and better focus in my work as a Global Partner Manager for Zebra.
