Real success, rooted in reality.

“Peter is an excellent executive coach, and I highly recommend working with him.

His mix of open, insightful questions and deep, accessible knowledge of leadership frameworks has been instrumental in my own development and success.

He helps shed light on blind spots and create coherent meaning from my busy executive schedule.

I come away from every meeting with Peter feeling prepared, confident and motivated to lead at my best.“

"I collaborated with Peter when he was vice-president at the 2Blades Foundation.

I admit, I was skeptical he could be an effective executive coach because of the passion and strong opinions I saw when we collaborated on science.

But he surprised me. He heard me and asked probing and sometimes difficult questions that made me think in new ways.

He combined the questioning with unique suggestions and reading material to augment our conversations.

I looked forward to our sessions and highly recommend Peter as a coach."

"Peter’s mix of real-life experience truly distinguishes him, and I have found the experience of being coached by him extremely positive.

Peter helped me identify, frame, and clarify key team development goals while also offering practical tools, techniques and suggestions to achieve them.

For example, Peter helped me transition into thinking more deeply about blind spots that I might underinvest my focus on, and the value of maintaining focus to empower, develop and challenge my team, as I manage my time better.

His systematic approach, and his open, insightful questions ensured that all my actions and decisions drive to success on both a professional and personal level."

"Peter helped me gain a refreshing perspective following challenges in a new policy role which required heighted navigation of people, processes and politics!

I really appreciated Peter’s analytical yet creative style, which provided me with an excellent balance of reflective support, theory and challenge.

My leadership toolbox is a lot fuller after being coached by Peter and I have a much stronger sense of how to utilise the strengths of my authentic self.”

“I’ve known Peter since his time leading plant science research, and his transition into coaching has been nothing short of inspiring.

His ability to challenge my belief system, ask thought-provoking questions, and provide fresh perspectives has been transformative.

Peter’s input has not only enhanced my leadership but also helped me refine my professional framework.

His guidance has been an invaluable asset to my entrepreneurial journey, shaping how I approach challenges and opportunities with clarity and confidence.”

“I have had the privilege of receiving pro bono career coaching from Peter, it turned out a transformative experience for me.

When I saw his offer of pro bono mentorship sessions, I reached out for a chat, I thought it was a casual chat just to get some advice on the next steps in my career.

It turned out not a chat but a series of thought-provoking meetings. Through these sessions Peter has brought a rare combination of empathy, clarity, and actionable insight that have changed my thought process.

Peter is outstanding in his ability to ask the right questions, the kind that challenged my assumptions and encouraged genuine self-reflection.

One session on defining my unique value proposition (UVP) has really been instrumental in helping focus on the values that I hold dearly in my profession.

Despite offering these sessions on a pro bono basis, Peter’s enthusiasm and dedication is highly commendable. I appreciate his genuine provoking demenor and I look forward to next sessions.

I highly recommend Peter to anyone seeking honest, insightful, and results-oriented mentoring and coaching.”

“As an early-career scientist, working with Peter has been pivotal for my development.

Peter’s background provides a unique perspective and understanding of a research career.

He has a remarkable ability to meet you where you are, framing his insights in a way that felt easily attainable.

He creates a supportive environment where you can explore challenges and arrive at your own conclusions, ensuring that the experience is truly your own.

Peter helped me define what qualities I look for in a leader and together we determined actionable ways to emulate those traits myself.

I recommend Peter’s coaching without reservation to anyone looking to elevate professionally at any stage in their career.”
