Select Testimonials
As an MC on the Australian conference circuit for many years, it's safe to say I have seen 1000's of professional speakers in action. Peter is one of the very best. His content is incredibly insightful, moving, fascinating, at times humorous and always jam-packed with front-line leadership learnings. Very few speakers have the gift of effortlessly combining education and inspiration, all perfectly tied up with vivid stores, leaving audiences feeling like they have heard a once-in-a-lifetime presentation.
I have been working with BHP Billiton now for 8 years. That two hours I spent with Peter Baines was the best two hours of my time with the company. I learnt more about leadership in our closed leaders session with Peter than I have the entire time I have been here and all the training programs I have participated in. He took it to a level I have never thought about before. Amazing.
Peter Baines, your speech has left me in awe. Never have I seen anyone deliver the essence of leadership in such a clear, straightforward and insightful way. Your integrity and credibility is established the moment you begin.
In 30 years of events management, I've heard thousands of speakers and only a handful have really impacted me or left a long-lasting memory or impression. Peter will be one of them. What a great storyteller he is, what an incredible life he has lived and what an incredibly positive mark he is leaving on our world. Thank you, Peter, for all you do and for the ongoing belief you have in the human race. You are one of the best of us. We need more like you.
From the moment I spoke to Peter Baines over the phone to when I said goodbye to him after the event, it has been an absolute pleasure. I provided Peter with my theme, outcome and ideas of what I wanted from the conference and therefore from his speech. Peter exceeded all expectations. The content of his speech and his actual journey resonated with me and so many of my people. Being in travel the majority of people had been to the places around the world that Peter was talking about therefore felt some emotional connection to the situation and environment that Peter was faced with. Peter is an exceptionally strong courageous man that the entire audience had a lot of respect for. I would highly recommend Peter as your guest speaker in the future. Thank you Peter for sharing your story with us.
Peter's message around resilience, leadership and perspective truly resonated with our dealer network. He struck the perfect balance between inspiration and practical relevance - which is exactly what this group needed after a challenging period. The feedback from attendees has been overwhelmingly positive, with many reflecting on how meaningful and grounding his session was. We're incredibly grateful for the impact Peter had in setting the tone for the conference and helping our network reset and move forward with clarity.
I can absolutely affirm that none of the dozens of international or local speakers I've seen present over the years has ever delivered such a powerful story of leadership, teamwork, humanity & hope. Your presentation deals with highly confronting challenges, far beyond anything we in the corporate world might consider to be a 'bad day at the office' - your honesty, integrity & humour were absolutely right on the money & you had the entire audience captivated. Let me assure you as you had to leave us immediately after your presentation, that throughout the rest of today (& I'm sure it will continue through tomorrow), everyone I've spoken with has said that your presentation has been the highlight of the conference for them.
I know from audience feedback how much they loved hearing from Peter, whose story, once you hear it, your life will never be the same. What a truly exceptional and special person. We were truly honoured to have him in the room with us.
A truly inspiring keynote address that made us laugh, cry but most of all it made us think. The message of life, leadership and what truly matters was inspirational. Before you die you must get to meet Peter Baines, life will change.
Listening to Peter speak just now has me seriously questioning my life choices. That was quite extraordinary and should be heard by all.
I remind myself of a moment, free from all the madness that is our present day life, and a man who touched another like no other. A memorable day where the important became real and where an ordinary man became extraordinary, admirable and a hero in a moment. Your presentation, delivered from the heart as only you can do, was without doubt the most brilliant I have ever had the privilege to experience. There you stood, full of life fueled by the determination to make a difference.....to give something back. All disasters, man made or natural, are heart wrenching. It's the manner of your actions, the compassion and generosity of spirit, the gentleness and intuitive understanding that moved me beyond words. I now have a great friend for life and I am all the better for it. Thank you Peter, for being such a light for humanity. Yes, I know that you're not God but you are most definitely one of his angels.
Peter Baines recently delivered his 'Leadership Matters' Keynote for our Senior Leaders and extended it into a follow up workshop. As the organiser of the event it was fantastic to look around the room and see the genuine engagement on their faces, and watch as they absorbed his truly compelling messages. The feedback we have received has been excellent, both on Peter's amazing content but also on his thoroughly engaging and captivating presentation style. He truly challenged us to think differently about Value-Based Leadership and what impact and personal contribution our Senior Leaders really want to make.
