Get to know Pete
Pete brings a wealth of expertise to his “Mastering Difficult Conversations at Work” training.

His extensive background as a media and communications trainer has sharpened his ability to teach essential skills like crafting and delivering clear messages under pressure, managing emotion, fostering trust and using body language effectively. These skills are critical in high-stakes client conversations.
