Podcast Appearances
Professor Peters was motivating, inspiring, engaging, and passionate. We would highly recommend him for any audience and many of the conference participants made it a point to say that they thought the talk was outstanding
With bespoke content that is accessible, engaging, and impactful, Steve has found a way of connecting with all of our people including: senior leaders, those within Business Services, our three legal Divisions, & our PA Community.
This impact goes far beyond supporting our employees as professionals; it has enabled them as people, which was our original intention.
Steve spoke at our conference and made a big impact and lasting impression on our delegates. His presentation was hard hitting, powerful and practical, laced with humour and challenge. . People left inspired, challenged to change and feeling they had tools to start that change. Highly recommended.
Steve Peters has an unrivalled ability to communicate deeply complex issues in a way that anyone can understand. He has one of the driest wits on the speaker circuit and will ensure everyone leaves a better understanding of how the brain works and how we might just be able to tame it if we follow the Chimp Paradox model. Unmissable.
