Peter Baines is a well regarded international leadership speaker who for many years has been speaking to audiences on the topic of leadership. He has focused on the importance of presence in leaders, having a clarity of purpose and building meaningful shared experiences.

Peter was recently contracted to write his third book which will be released in August of 2023. The book is titled “Leadership Matters – The Leaders, The Achievers and The Visionaries”.

In the writing of his new book Peter has developed a new keynote for audiences that he has previously worked with or those looking for a fresh approach on the Challenge of our Time.

In the new keynote the Challenge of our Time, Peter reflects on the value of finding a journey that is worthy of our heart and soul. He considers what are the six growth areas before our leaders of today and our emerging leaders of tomorrow, and he provides a way to meet those opportunities.

Peter draws on lived life experiences of leading international teams through crisis and disaster as well as twenty years as an internationally recognised humanitarian. He continues to deliver his stories in a uniquely captivating way.

Below are the six contextual areas he focuses on with the new keynote, along with the learning outcomes for the audience.

I had the pleasure of hearing Peter speak for the second time last week at our conference. Peter is such an inspiration. I like that he doesn’t sugar coat anything, he is brutally honest yet so compassionate at the same time. If the silence in the room of around 150 people is anything to go by, I know I’m not the only one in my group who is deeply affected by hearing this man share his story. Thank you Peter, keep up the amazing work.

Peter I had the privilege of hearing you speak at the Managers Forum in Brisbane last week. The obvious compassion you brought to an incredibly confronting and emotional theme struck a deep chord. Your story of how a parent would feel in the moments leading up to the tsunami left me in tears as I am sure it would for any parent of young children. The very powerful emotional themes served to emphasise the key messages I extracted from your presnetation in terms of taking time to examine why I really get out of bed – and ultimately to recognise that there is only one go at this thing called life and to take today as the first day of that new adventure. Once again I would like to acknowledge the very deep impact your presentation had – I feel like I have woken with a new zest for the journey.

Thank you for the presentation you gave at our offsite. Peter -you really made an impact on the audience including our General Manager. You gave them lots of food for thought and tied each of your incredible stories to a tangible insight/ action for attendees to consider. It also put everyone in a good mindspace for the “reflection” section that followed the break.

Peter Baines was amazingly inspirational. Thank you for the opportunity to be in the room. How could you not want to go out and make a world a better place after that!
