I don't think words can explain the effect that Peter had on the delegates and the experience at our national conference. I do honestly believe it was life changing for many of them and they were all very affected by it.
Your conference presentation was the best we have experienced in 11 years.
Peter was sensational. He met with us on a number of occasions in the lead up to the event to ensure his presentation was tailored to our specific needs. He blew us away!
Most people probably think that keynote speakers have one stock standard presentation that conference organisers need to match to their theme. Well they don't know what Peter Thurin does before he does his thing. We drew great confidence from several interactions we had with Peter prior to his session. His presentation was at the end of an action packed three days and we were looking for Peter to pull all the themes we had threaded through the conference and weave them into an action plan. His work ethic and determination to ensure he delivered exactly what we were looking for was magnificent, as was the product he delivered. Full of energy and humour, he nailed all our key messages and challenged everyone in the room to make the changes necessary for them to take our business forward.
Peter is clearly your 'not so average' speaker. He listens intently to your brief, and executes right on target. He uses your conference themes appropriately and takes the time to research. Spent his own time observing the team in action well prior to the delivery so he knew the culture and how to speak in tune with expectations, whilst being comfortably challenging. His delivery is very energetic and almost exhausting. He got a standing ovation from an appreciative crowd. I was impressed with his 'call to action'. His 'easy to do' also 'easy not to do' is driving us all mad. Two executives have already begun a managed exercise program.
Thank you once again for putting together such a wonderful session for the Dan Murphy's National Conference last week. Your presentation was UNBEATABLE! The research you did to understand the Dan Murphy's business and its people to the passion you displayed during the whole session was amazing. The whole team was buzzing with inspiration after the session and they can't stop talking about it.
