• "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!"

• "Peter,
  
  I have just settled back to work after the amazing 5 days in China at the "Next Course".
  
  I just wanted to say I have sat through a lot of motivational speakers over the years but you were a real revelation and a genuine catalyst for change.
  
  If I took away one thing it was "get in the game". You said it over and over again and I thank you for it. Since I returned I have built my own website and started to do things to develop rather than observe from the sidelines…to celebrate my passions.
  
  Thanks a million mate...
  
  All the best and a lot of continued success..."

  Ciaran Hickey, Director - Cuisine, W Seoul-Walkerhill, Starwood Hotels

• "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."

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 were delighted that our objectives were met in such a friendly, professional, involved and committed manner and all our participants were certainly motivated, not only for the conference, but also of course for their ongoing benefit."

  Isuzu-General Motors Australia Limited

• "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."

  Director, Constellation Wines Australia

• "Peter's enthusiasm, when I first met him never wavered and the Exhibition Industry's conference was the better for it. Peter threw all his energy behind the day and took the time to appreciate the industry, what it does and why it is so special. This research clearly came through and the empathy he created with the delegates was astounding.
  
  As a result of his efforts, the day was deemed by all a success and I have no hesitation in recommending Peter to others looking for passion, energy and commitment in a facilitator, motivator or MC."

  Managing Director, Diversified Exhibitions Australia

• "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 learnings into your sessions."
