Peter is as comfortable in front of 500 teenagers as he is in a corporate boardroom. His approach disarms and empowers. At least that's the way I feel and it is similar based on the audience reactions I've seen

Peter has a beautiful, gentle sense of humour that really brings out the big-heartedness in his audience. When he speaks about employee engagement we understand afresh how we can create a healthy, supportive, sane workplace through our own individual and team actions. Peter embodies on stage the culture of potential he speaks about, and makes us feel we can do it too.

Peter has the courage to go places many people would shy away from. He has a great ability to bring his own personal experiences in to his work in a way that others can gain so much. Listening to Peter is always inspiring and one of the contributing factors to his is that he is very genuine which builds so much credibility with the audience. Peter Chapman

Peter was a very active mentor for NLAPS (Newfoundland & Labrador Asscoiation of Professional Speakers)during its formative years. His leadership and insight played a big part in establishing NLAPS in the province. What struck me most with Peter was his sincerity. He truly wanted to see NLAPS succeed. However, it didn't stop there. He used his experience and his unique perspective of the speaking business to help us, as members, grow as well. Peter is a consumate professional. He takes great pride in helping individuals and groups to maximize their potential.

“Peter Davison is a consummate professional. Since connecting with Peter several years ago he has constantly looked for ways to be of service and was always willing to help whenever a request was made. In addition to being a great speaker, Peter is a great person. Anyone who is thinking of working with Peter would be well advised to jump at the opportunity. I suspect you could not find an easier speaker to work with!”

You have a unique and engaging style. You have a wide range of knowledge (from small towns to Mt. Everest and all the reading and life experiences in between). You tap into this knowledge for your various types of speaking engagements, and then you bring common sense wisdom to your audience in a down to earth and often humorous manner.

You created an environment that allowed me and my colleagues to discover a new paradigm in constuctive communication...how to work on purpose...how to inspire one another and how to overcome barriers in ourselves and in our environment in order to move forward together. You made us think, laugh, and five years later, I still feel enriched. Thank you, Peter!

Peter is such an amazing, hardworking and creative individual. His "How to Love your Work" series was very successful as part of the Career Journey Series we offered with JCTC. He delivered 5 sessions back to back within a 2 day period and he never lost his spark and enthusiasm. His experiences and stories are extremely inspirational and I highly recommend him and his programs.
