In times of crisis, true leaders are defined by
both their actions and reactions

It's what people do, not the position they hold that really makes a difference...

You can't change what's happened...but we can all change what happens next!

Thank you for the presentation you gave at our offsite. Peter -you really made an impact on the audience including our General Manager. You gave them lots of food for thought and tied each of your incredible stories to a tangible insight/ action for attendees to consider. It also put everyone in a good mindspace for the "reflection" section that followed the break.

I really enjoyed the thought provoking message of your session at Deloitte this morning and especially how you delivered this with such sensitivity, passion and positivity for a subject that is very sensitive by nature. The story of Alex the 15 month old boy really hit home for me as my son is the same age and I can't even imagine the pain of losing him in a disaster. Definitely there is a lot of CHANGE that needs to be brought about and needs to be sustained in these communities and ours at home. Appreciate your time this morning and you have definitely inspired me to reflect and make some changes for me, my family and my professional footprint.

I want to particularly call out that the keynote presentation Peter Baines gave touched my team beyond belief. We sat there stunned with his honesty and the level of compassion and humanism he displayed. The team are still talking about his session. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Peter Baines I just wanted to tell you personally that your talk was the high point of the three days for me. I have thought of it often and am still stunned at the work that you and your colleagues do, and the level of commitment that you bring to the job. I was also impressed with your skill in presenting a difficult and emotional topic in such an impactful way. I have been a professional communicator for over 20 years and really appreciate the skill in others when I see it. And so much of what you had to say has lessons that can be used in the leadership work I do with our senior executives here at the CBA. I would have liked to say something to you at the end of the session but couldn't really trust myself to speak.?

I recently attended the breakfast at the Hyatt in Adelaide. Peter Baines, keynote speaker talked about the work that he has done in the disaster area that was Thailand after the Boxing Day Tsunami. Never in my life have I been so intrigued, so interested so absolutely blown away. But most importantly he spoke of his actions as part of a team and really outlined the importance of team work and leadership, not just in bad times, but in everyday life. Peter is an incredible speaker and has his audiences full attention the whole time he is speaking. I laughed and I cried during Peter's presentation and by the end I was totally overwhelmed.

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.

I was watching the audience whilst listening and Peter Baines certainly struck a chord with everyone. On both occasions that I have heard Peter Baines speak the absolute silence in the room is something that is quite amazing with such a large audience.?
