"I have been privileged to work with multiple coaches throughout my career, so I don’t say this without perspective: Peter is a remarkable coach. He brings a rare balance of deep understanding of human behavior and leadership dynamics, coupled with an empathetic and supportive coaching style."

Maren Keeley, Founder & Co-CEO, Handprint

In the short four one-hour coaching sessions with Peter I have had profound breakthroughs that I have spent years in therapy attempting to gain. I really appreciate the openness and non-judgmental coaching style that he provides; it allowed me to really be open to myself to dig deeper into what I didn’t know I was seeking, which was self-love, clarity and a sense of self understanding.

I better understand my purpose, my relationship to masculinity, and my role as a leader because of Peter’s coaching. Peter listens deeply, identifying important threads and teasing them out with his thoughtful questions. In one conversation he can patiently hold space for me to explore and tactfully challenge me to probe further. Peter’s support has helped me to cultivate a greater sense of awareness and, ultimately, has facilitated and accelerated my personal and leadership growth journey.

I've worked with at least five different coaches over the years. I can confidently say that Peter has been in the top tier of my experiences. His reflections back to me of what I'm working through are crystal clear - clearer than I've ever experienced with a coach. He's empathetic and connected in his coaching, but also with a healthy level of challenge of my perspective and invitation to explore other perspectives. Coaching with Peter has been well worth the investment for me.

Working with Peter has truly transformed me. From learning better skills to manage the day-to-day challenges of being a small business owner and team leader, to deeper insights into myself as a person with a life outside of the office I’ve developed a better understanding of what makes me, me. Peter is patient, warm, and open, and you can tell that when you’re talking he’s truly listening and able to offer the solutions, ideas, and guidance needed to work through whatever the issue of the day might be.

My adult life has been a constant struggle with finding balance, maintaining confidence, and repeated cycles of anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, and depression that seriously threatened my career and ability to thrive. Thanks to Peter’s support and coaching, I feel that I finally have the skills and trust in myself to leave that cycle behind once and for all, and move forward in my life with purpose, focus, and a healthy, balanced mindset. Peter listens really well, asks great questions, and provides incredibly helpful insights and feedback. I feel immensely lucky to have been able to work with Peter, and wholeheartedly recommend his coaching to anyone hoping to make positive changes in their life.
