Business Keynote, Motivatational Speaker and MC

What our clients are saying:

• "'I can guarantee that Peter Thurin through his "blackbelt in excellence" programme will motivate your staff. He has brought together his experience from many years in the pharmacy business with his passion for taekwondo and combines this with the message you want to deliver, to build an action packed two hour session.'
  
  'In a refreshing linkage of physical and classroom style he demonstrates the power of positive attitude. Peter is a terrific storyteller, he delivers anecdotes from his personal experience in a most professional and amusing manner. The process he employs builds through several stages, culminating in an explosion of group energy unlike anything I have witnessed before.'
  
  'His message is simple and inescapably correct. Your most valuable resource is your people. Their most valuable possession is their relationships with your customers.'
  
  'A truly memorable session. We will be using him again.'"

  General Manager, PPG Automotive Refinish Australia

• "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. I was impressed with his ‘call to action’. His ‘easy to do’ also ‘easy not to do’ is driving us all mad.
  
  He got a standing ovation from an appreciative crowd."

  General Manager, Bidvest

• "Once again you have provided us with an inspirational message and commonsense tips on client servicing and relationship management. Your thought provoking presentation was very well received by the new combined teams of KPMG Financial Services and St George Private Bank. We value so highly your experience and knowledge on building customer relationships and good service models. Your delivery, incorporating key aspects of martial arts ensures that everyone is able to easily identify with the message. In turn, the interaction through the group sessions empowered the attendees – making it easy for them to believe that they too can rise to the challenges you raised in regard to client management. As testament to the ‘lasting’ influence you had on the attendees I often hear the word 'Kia' reverberating throughout the office. Peter, thank you for making our Professional Development Day such a huge success."

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.

• "Peter your session from the outset was designed to be different and as our delegates entered the room they new they were in for something new. Your presentation style was professional and warm and you filled each of our delegates with the confidence to approach the solution rather than the problem. All of our delegates have expressed to our Schwarzkopf Professional team how delighted they are to have been present throughout your demonstration and presentation. Your material was first rate. Your presentation has guaranteed a greater business future for all of our delegates."

• "We have just returned from Sanctuary Cove where we had Peter Thurin on site for different sessions for one of our pharmaceutical clients. And, once again, a triumph! Peter literally brought the house down with "blackbelt in excellence" and I can't recommend him highly enough.
  
  Such was the response to his session, that our debrief with the client will include plans to further his involvement with the group at their mid-year Conference. Talk about hit the nail on the head and know how to get the best from a group! The response was overwhelming enthusiasm and I really believe that he changed a few lives in the room on Wednesday morning.
  
  In addition to achieving a 100% board breaking success rate through a very varied age group, our clients were amazed at Peter's research, preparation and understanding of their business - he delivered EVERY key message and really got through where others have failed.
  
  As I was leaving, the internal conference organiser said: "I will never forget this morning, never, the whole of my life. I feel amazing." Truly, that's a quote! And I think this was a sentiment that would be shared by much of the group.
  
  Suffice it to say, once again, we are ecstatic and so are our clients. Please pass on my grateful thanks to Peter and I look forward to working with him again in the near future."

  It was great to be in your audience again yesterday.
  
  My choice of career and industry has lead to me attending many conferences and exposed me to many speakers. Among them have been Bryan Tracy, Skip Turner, Alan Pease, Winston Marsh, Tom Hopkins, Brett Lee and Leigh Matthews.
  
  I have now seen you twice and without doubt you have had the most impact on my life of any developer of human potential. Your simple messages are communicated with such passion and energy that implementation was easy. The routine has gone and I am on my way to remarkable.
  
  Thanks for everything and I look forward to seeing you soon.
  
  Kind Regards,"
