From my first engagement with Peter, I was really impressed. His professionalism as a motivation speaker, his punctuality and dealing with unexpected challenges on the day of the event is a testimony of how he approach life. Peter is a “challenge accepted” person, and most certainly a “+1” individual. His presentation was phenomenal - world class. If you have not had the chance to listen to the Peter van Kets story, you are missing out on something brilliant - very special.
