He has over 20 years experience in facilitating individual and organisational learning and development. He has worked in and consulted to the public sector and major organisations both in Australia and overseas. He is a personal demonstration of learning and adapting to changing work environments. His extensive background and unique combination of developed skills and talents qualify him as an invaluable resource for any organisation which values learning as a driving force for development and growth, particularly in an environment of change.
Peter’s early studies were in science and mathematics. Later, in developing his knowledge and skills in order to adapt his business to changing times he acquired and demonstrated expertise in the following areas: writing, editing, desktop publishing, technical illustration, and database programming.
Peter’s Background
This rich background became a powerful resource for Peter when he turned to his attention to adult learning. He is extensively trained in the most advanced techniques available, being accredited in the Educational Applications of Generative Learning and certified as a Trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (through the International NLP Trainers Association).
Increasingly Peter has turned his attention to helping people learn to ‘run their own brain’. His exceptionally strong background in behavioural technologies and his rich knowledge and skills, enable him to help people and organisations evolve rapidly to meet the challenges which result from the extent and rate of change which pervades the modern culture. Because of his background he works comfortably with people with diverse experiences and goals.
The Future

With a continuing interest in stage skills and with a background that also includes professional performance, Peter’s presentation is dynamic, enthusiastic and engaging.

Training is designed to provide the opportunity for individuals and organisations to learn more easily and learn about their learning processes with the result that they can better design and achieve ecological outcomes.
