“I worked with Peter for over a year and am pleased to highly recommend him as an executive coach to senior leaders in entrepreneurial organizations.  Peter was uniquely helpful in helping me imagine and execute on a vision of my leadership that has been critical to the success of Galvanize in a complex, hyper-growth environment.  He is the one guy I can always count on to tell me the naked truth about my leadership, in an impactful, non-judgmental and compassionate way.  He has also helped me become a better father and husband.  Since beginning work with Peter, we have chosen to hire him for additional engagements within our senior leadership team, with positive results."

"Peter is a fantastic executive coach.  He has compelling insights into leadership effectiveness, a unique style that blends empathy and independence, and deep experience in professional services.  My work with Peter has been a powerful catalyst in helping me set bolder aspirations, build support to achieve them, and follow through with real impact.  Working with Peter has been a great investment."

“Before I started working with Peter, I thought of an executive coach as a resource that I might try out to “fix a few things” over the course of a couple of sessions. Since I started working with Peter a year ago, I wonder why I didn’t have regular coaching sessions in the past. He has a fantastic combination of coaching experience, authenticity, understanding of executive effectiveness, and experience in investment banking and finance. His skill and insight create a relationship in which Peter appropriately pushes me further in each conversation. I come away from our sessions challenged, motivated and focused. Additionally, he attends to the full scope, including family, health, and habits; which in turn enhances my energy and clarity towards addressing my professional goals and ambitions. Further, as Peter has worked with several of my colleagues, we have developed a dialogue on ideas from our respective sessions, and enjoy a “network effect” from common coaching and encouraging of one another. In all, Peter’s work with me and several of my colleagues has increased our professional effectiveness both individually, and as a firm.”

"I absolutely recommend Peter as an executive coach.  Originally I was introduced to Peter by my employer, who hired him to fine-tune certain aspects of my communication style.  He was extremely effective in this regard.  I was so impressed by Peter that subsequently I choose to continue to use him at my own expense in order to help me navigate other professional and even personal matters."

“My six months of work with Peter were transformative. I expected to learn tools and techniques for leading my team. I did learn those things, but Peter’s primary focus was at a much more important level. Every time I approached Peter with a technical or strategic issue, he would re-frame the challenge from 'what will I do?' to 'how will I be?' "I have brought a whole new intention to work that has made me more effective. In my recent annual review, my boss wrote, 'I am very impressed with what you have learned and incorporated into your day-to-day job from the coaching experience.' "Throughout this experience Peter was thoughtful, compassionate, and kind. He also constantly challenged me to do better and took no excuses. Working with Peter made me a better leader and manager, and—I really didn’t expect this part—I am as happy as ever going to work."

“Peter is a rare and powerful combination of heart and head.  He has a unique and successful career in the field of investment banking and at the same time has the heart of a true and powerful leader.  Peter is the “real deal” and I highly recommend his integrity, follow through, solution orientation and pure love of life.”

“Peter is an outstanding executive and leadership coach.  His coaching is a perfect blend of heart, insight and action.  During the six-plus month period that I worked with Peter, he routinely exceeded my expectations.  Not only did he help to uncover blind spots in my leadership behavior, he worked with me firmly and effectively to change negative behaviors. “Several of my senior team members have noted the positive changes in my leadership since working with Peter.  I highly recommend working with him to any high achiever who is committed to substantially improving their leadership and achieving their business and personal goals.”

"I have had a great experience working with Peter. He pushed me to go outside my comfort zone and made me accountable for my progress and achieving my goals. I feel energized after each meeting. He is enthusiastic in his approach and brings it every day. Deciding to work with Peter has been one of the best business decisions I ever made.”

"Peter is an excellent executive coach who understand the life of the financial services executive, having been a senior investment banker for many years.  He can contextualize his coaching for maximum effectiveness and it doesn’t take long to build rapport with him.  I would highly recommend Peter for any financial professional seeking to work with an executive coach."

"Peter is an invaluable resource because he asks the questions that help me to keep the issues with which I am constantly bombarded in perspective, which in turn allows me to focus on those most appropriate for my attention."

"Peter is a sharp, focused and well organized coach. Ours is not time wasted. His ears are finely tuned. He hears what I say even when I don't—or don't want to admit that I do. His straightforward but warm approach helps me stay on my path."

“Peter helped me work through a career crisis. By using coaching techniques and assessment work, he helped me to efficiently diffuse the crisis and enabled me to think more productively about my career transition. This generated significant benefit for my firm and for me personally. “Peter has significant domain expertise in the investment banking, private equity and hedge fund industries. We were able to move very quickly to the specifics of my career challenges. He did not need any background information about the structure of my industry and the career opportunities.”

“Peter has helped me bring focus to my long-term career strategy, including identifying and working through both challenges and opportunities.  His education, business experience and training make him an excellent executive coach with real world credibility. “In addition to assisting my professional development, his coaching has enabled me to more effectively tackle the work/life balancing challenge that is endemic in business today.”

“Peter was a huge help and support to me through a difficult career transition.  In my new role, he continues to challenge my thinking, pushes me to set lofty business goals and coaches me on how to achieve them.  “His understanding of and insights into the complexities, demands and opportunities of my business and the challenging personalities frequently encountered has been invaluable to me as I establish new relationships.”

"I found working with Peter to be incredibly helpful. He works with you to define objectives, creates discipline around considering the issues, asks probing, challenging questions and forces a game plan to achieve results. “Peter exudes positive energy, he is upbeat, encouraging and a pleasure to work with."
