“Never in my life have I been so intrigued, so interested, so absolutely blown away by the wonderful, caring, and truely selfless actions of one human being. Most importantly he spoke of his actions as part of a team and really outlined the importance of teamwork and leadership, not just in bad times, but in everyday life. Peter is an incredible speaker and has his audience’s full attention throughout the whole presentation. I laughed and I cried and by the end I was totally overwhelmed by the things he has seen and how he deals with them. A truly inspiring man.”
- ANZ Bank “Peter Baines provided one of the most inspirational and motivating presentations that I have seen. The entire audience was captivated by Peter’s experiences, grace and good humour. Without doubt the highlight of the conference.”
- MLC “Peter moved our meeting attendees to tears with his keynote address – many attendees commented that his was the best keynote they have experienced at one of our meetings, others added that his was the best keynote they have EVER heard.”
- Project Management Institute "I just wanted to tell you personally that your talk was the high point of the three days for me. I have thought of it often and am still stunned. So much of what you had to say has lessons that can be used in the leadership work we do with our senior executives. I would have liked to say something to you at the end of the session, but couldn't really trust myself to speak.”
- Commonwealth Bank "Peter exceeded my expectations - not only did he deliver an extremely professional and polished performance on the day, he was fully tuned into our key messages for the conference and delivered the key points with a high level of passion and sense of personal pride in his team's achievements. He provided our delegates with a deeper understanding of what inspirational leadership looks like in practice. Demonstrating that it's not necessarily something that you train, or something that is just reserved for those already in positions of leadership, but something we can all aspire to by finding our own clear sense of purpose and taking personal accountability to make a difference.”
- QBE Insurance "A memorable day where the important became real and where an ordinary man became extraordinary, admirable and a hero in a moment. Your presentation, delivered from the heart as only you can do, was without doubt the most brilliant I have ever had the privilege to experience."
- Sony "I can absolutely affirm that none of the dozens of international or local speakers I've seen present over the years have ever delivered such a powerful story of leadership, teamwork, humanity and hope. Your presentation deals with highly confronting challenges, far beyond anything we in the corporate world might consider to be a 'bad day at the office' - your honesty, integrity & humour were absolutely right on the money and you had the entire audience captivated."
- Manpower Business Solutions "The delayed impact of your presentation was more than any of us had expected. You gave us the direction we needed to regroup, reflect and reconfirm our ‘clarity of purpose’. It has amazed us how we could relate our work environment to the leadership issues that you experienced. As you so aptly called your presentation - Leadership Matters."
- Mercy Hospital "Peter's presentation was one of the most inspirational I have ever witnessed. He held the audience in the palm of his hand and managed to deliver an amazing presentation from lessons learned through the worst natural disaster this world has ever seen. Peter's presentation just has to be seen, no words can describe it."
- Network Central "Peter Baines' presentation was one of the most original I have heard in a long time. After all, it is not every day that you meet someone who has worked at ground zero of two of the most significant events in our recent history. Peter is the quintessential 'good Aussie bloke' and the warmth and humour he brings to his presentation is a perfect balance for the confronting and challenging nature of the stories he has to tell. Through hearing Peter's examples of strong leadership in a true crisis, we all learned many valuable lessons that can readily be applied within the comfort of our own professional lives.”
- Success Strategies “I have seen Peter Baines present several times and each time I take something very different and special away. Pete is an amazing man with an amazing message and a presenter I cannot recommend highly enough.”
- Australian Human Resources Institute "I have no doubt you have heard this before, but Peter was an exceptional speaker. It is not often I can say that all the feedback we have has been excellent – inspirational, outstanding, emotive, highlight of conference. I don’t have a single score less than 5 out of 5 (some giving him more). Truly outstanding."
- Visions Conference "Peter gets straight to the point - very no nonsense about his subject. His stories are inspiring and leave one feeling very humbled."
