About Blackbelt in Excellence

Feedback from the two session that you ran was absolutely tremendous, both the content of the sessions and the mode of delivery was first rate and I have no doubt that the messages you conveyed really resonated with our team. I also really appreciate the time you took to understand our business and integrate these learning’s into your sessions.

You provided something completely different, and because of your background and achievements, it was more than just motivational – it got their blood going! I’ve received a number of positive comments from the attendees and it is something none of them will forget. The entire experience was thoroughly enjoyable and helped make a great day for us. This was the second time I’ve experienced your performance, and given the opportunity, I’d certainly do it again!

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.

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.

Our franchises were overwhelmed and energy charged with your interactive and challenging workshop. The experience and the memories that all attending franchises conveyed to me after your “floor show” was nothing short of brilliant and will be held up as one of the highlights of this year’s event. Your uncanny ability to precise all the topics from our extensive event program in a single address was both entertaining and thought provoking. It made them question and rethink the road map required to achieve their personal and professional objectives.

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.

What a great performance Peter, thank you for a spectacular motivational session. You certainly grabbed the attention of the audience with your enthusiasm, humour and good fun approach to emphasise your message.

110% committed to ensuring our event and his session was successful. Peter delivered information that was new and interesting that we could all apply to our work our lives and our relationships. Our people have seen and heard lots of speakers and Peter ranks up there with the best of them, the passion he displayed and the insights and examples he delivered about our association and business in general were spot on. Suggestion…Get TWO Peter Thurin’s on your books… he was very engaging and genuinely interested in our association which helped deliver a session that was topical and inspiring for many participants. We had our best AGM ever in ten years and Peter contributed to the enjoyment and success. Peter addressed us on Thursday and Friday and each session was just the right length and delivered with high professionalism. What better endorsement…on Saturday around the pool at Palazzo Versace Gold Coast about a dozen participants were reading Peter’s book given out to them the day before!! As the GM of the conference he made me (and other NILWA staff) look great in front of 154 people in the liquor industry and I did nothing but engage him to speak!

How fortunate we are, to have had the opportunity to work with you over the last two years, and what a difference to our business and culture you have made!
 
You bring to the table a complete package:

* consistency - we are never allowed to move on and pass over our learning's
* inspiration - you find and provide inspiration from many sources 
* purpose - keeping us focused on the ultimate goal - not allowing distractions
* a great deal of shared business knowledge and experience - we are always learning from others
* real passion for what you do - you are an integral part of our team, and
* you care - it says it all!

We are on the way to delivering on our BHAG - because of your contribution to WHK CW - without your direction and guidance - we would be still floundering. 
 
Personally, you have lead me to a higher level of personal development and achievement that I would never have dreamed possible - and I will never be able to thankyou enough.
 
I have said so many times to colleagues and friends - you get my "head right" - you see through the Mir and babble - and provide me with clarity and direction.
 
To "be the best you can be" takes a lot of commitment, passion and enthusiasm - and you bring these attributes to life in us.
 
Thankyou for your past contribution, and looking forward to sharing the successes of the future together.

On behalf of us all at Orica Mining Services, I want to thank you for your “blackbelt in excellence” event at our Leadership Conference in Kuala Lumpur. Your combination of passion, energy and optimism was an inspiration to so many of our team and the key messages were right on agenda for our central conference themes. Great stuff.

Peter,

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,

Pete, thanks for sharing a system that works! What I love most about the book, apart from real stories and true inspiration, is that I can apply the lessons to swimming, relationships, parenthood and business.

I am writing to thank you for the fantastic program that you put together for our leadership forum. Feedback from the sessions that you ran was absolutely tremendous.Both the content of the sessions and the mode of delivery was first rate and I have no doubt that the messages you conveyed really resonated with our team. I also really appreciate the time you took to understand our business and integrate these learning’s into your sessions.I look forward to working together in the future.

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.

In organising many similar conferences and events at Telstra; I have had the opportunity to witness a number of presenters speak on different topics however I would consider yours to be second to none. The enthusiastic response from my group is testament to the value you added to our conference. The integration of your successful business expertise with your Taekwondo experience not only gave credibility to the presentation but additional strength to the character of each team member. This was particularly evident when each was asked to break a board with their bare hands. The WOW factor was overwhelming. You managed to take a group of people, from all parts of Australia, and create a motivated, inspired and empowered team in a very short period of time. It was apparent that our pre-conference meetings were well considered and your understanding of our business needs was obvious in a highly creditable, humorous and professional presentation.

Peter did a magnificent job at our recent sales and marketing conference in the Barossa Valley.

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.

The feedback from the delegates has been extremely positive. As someone who has previously been motivated by Peter to take those first steps to change my ways, I look forward to seeing the transformational change we are seeking in this business gather momentum over the next few weeks.

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!

Peter your presentation was inspiring and delivered a fantastic message, which energised our delegates for the remainder of the weekend and beyond. Our staff has all commented on how pumped-up and ready for action they felt after your session with them on Monday afternoon. You continue to deliver a terrific message with great enthusiasm and your contribution is much appreciated. Once again thank you for a job well done. Your creative talent and your enthusiasm to the task are much appreciated. I know that all of our delegates will remember their time at Twin Waters and your participation in all areas will develop a greater business future for all of our delegates.

Pete, a huge thank you for yesterday's session. I thought it was absolutely incredible. The messages were very powerful but just as importantly they were delivered with tremendous energy and conviction. I have really enjoyed working with you.

Anything is possible with the energy and desire of the team of “blackbelt in excellence”. Peter understands the values and the vision of our family company and has been instrumental in delivering the pride and passion to help achieve our business goals. “blackbelt in excellence” has delivered a program that is concise and consistent which has encouraged teamwork across all areas of our business. Peter is like a member of the family, understanding that dedicated hard work will lead to success. He "talks the talk" but more importantly follows up consistently for outstanding results.
