Peter has a doctorate in educational leadership, a certificate in international school leadership, and teaching and leadership experience in six countries. He is a certified Gallup Clifton Strengths coach and Appreciative Inquiry facilitator and has mentored leaders across sectors helping them use their strengths effectively. Peter provides practical and effective solutions to culture building, team development, leadership and the mindset required to develop an outstanding organization that is future ready.
Peter’s ability to lead change in organizations around the world has resulted in new and innovative practices in leadership and education proving his ability to create vision and translate it into practice. He helped found an international school in Norway, has consulted to schools in Australia, America and South Africa and has been a regular presenter at conferences across the world. He and his wife, Samantha (a fellow educator) have worked in schools on five different continents. They also run a non-profit called The Simunye Project. This is an organization that takes students on an 18-day trip to South Africa each year to work with communities in need. Peter and Samantha have three teenage children.
Peter has spent time in the corporate world at BMW Financial Services as the manager of professional and organizational learning, advising on leadership, innovation and the creation of learning communities.
He was formerly the Assistant Head of School for Innovation and Strategy at Principia, in St. Louis Missouri. He has recently taken up a role in the BOLD team at the DLR Group. BOLD helps schools combine the state-of-the-art environmental design with well-researched and best practice pedagogies to develop students who are future ready and equipped to thrive in the 21st century.
Peter is a close friend of mine whom I was fortunate enough to get to work with during his spell at BMW Financial Services in Australia where we collaborated to develop a culture of continuous learning.
I'm very proud to count him as a member of my team at Aquilae where he brings academic rigour to the design of our executive education programmes for the automotive and mobility industries.
In this conversation we talk about Peter's international career as an educator and his experience leveraging that background to create corporate environments in which people take ownership for their own development. On the way we talk about leveraging purpose in an organisation and creating a competitive advantage through a culture of continuous learning.
I have enormous respect for Peter's skills, experiences and achievements and a lot of love for him as a human being who deeply wants to make an impact in the world. I hope you enjoy our conversation and can imagine how exciting it is to introduce Peter's purpose and energy into a corporate environment. As always, I look forward to hearing what resonates with you.
