exceptional
- Deloitte
Your insights were exceptional, and I appreciated the research you did and the focused attention you gave to our particular needs. Your content was spot on for this audience of global leaders and I sincerely enjoyed our time together and received many comments on the value you brought to our global managing partners meeting.
OUTSTANDING
- Corporate Leadership Council
OUTSTANDING. I ate lunch at my desk‑side and attempted to multi‑task, do other work, with headphones on. Peter’s ability to deliver content was spellbinding though. I had to give my attention over. Excellent. I hope every person at director level and above made time for this. In my 10+ years of speaking with executive‑level audiences, I find Peter to be unsurpassed in his ability to engage senior executives.
amazing speaker
- Counterpoint
Peter, you amaze me. Your ability and willingness to customise material that resonates with audiences and reinforces brand goals is incredible. As the executive producer of countless conferences for owners, general managers and directors of sales for the Hilton portfolio of brands, I’ve hired speakers that range from ex‑presidents to mountain climbers to Nobel Laureate economists. You deliver more bang for the buck than all of them! Your performance for my client last week was right on target, and the material was 90 per cent new from the material you used with another of my clients just ten months ago. Thanks for always helping me look good and deliver results for my clients!
world class educator
- Corporate Executive Board
Peter Sheahan could light a small town with energy, enthusiasm and insight. He combines deep practical knowledge with unending passion for both his subject matter and his audience. In my 10+ years of speaking with executive‑level audiences, I find Peter to be unsurpassed in his ability to engage senior executives. Peter can draw out of your people answers to questions they did not know they had. That, and even more powerfully, he will have them question the very answers they come up with in a way that reveals an even deeper level of insight and understanding. Whether he is presenting or facilitating, Peter is clearly world class educator.
