“Peter George was a phenomenal asset to our Annual Conference. His talk was incredibly engaging. He provided many tangible takeaways and connected with our attendees in a truly impressive way. Anyone, regardless of industry, job role, or level of experience, would benefit from Peter’s content. I highly recommend you have Peter speak at your next event.”
– Kathryn Magnoli, Executive Director, New England Society of Association Executives
“I have had the pleasure of working with Peter George to continue to develop my public speaking skills. As the President and Chief Operating Officer for a Rhode Island-based company, I am often called upon to speak on a variety of topics to audiences of an array of sizes. I decided to take Peter’s Public Speaking Master Course to refine my presentation abilities.
Three aspects of Peter’s coaching were especially remarkable to me. First, Peter has a clarity of communication that makes it easy to develop as a speaker. The objectives he identifies, the techniques he employs, and the targeted feedback he provides all reflect an underlying straightforwardness. His goal is not to make you a salesman on the stage. Instead, he emphasizes the central importance of the audience, and of the critical role practice plays in solidifying your speaking skills.
Second, Peter understands the importance of building confidence in your own message, presence, and on-stage personality. As a result of his approach, I learned to trust my own instincts. I know that I can continue to turn to Peter as a resource to support me in future challenges, as well.
Finally, Peter has the right set of characteristics that make him an excellent coach. He is humble, easy to relate to, and understands what it is like to make a presentation for the first time or 100th time. His candor and honesty can help anyone advance their presentation and speaking skills.”
– Marc De Santiago, President, Hope Global
“For a long time, I had been helplessly looking for a public speaking coach that would assist me within my work as an advocate before international tribunals, and then I found Peter.
For a few weeks, we explored together various methods and strategies concerning the art of trial advocacy. During that time, I learned how to express myself better and more clearly, how to be conscious in front of professional audiences, how to create the aura of competence and to be more persuasive in the courtroom. The notes that I took for myself after each of our sessions with Peter serve me as a great tool that I frequently use before my court appearances. Thank you, Peter!”
– Cezary Michalczuk, International Prosecutor, The International Criminal Court

No matter your current ability, Peter can help you achieve things you never thought possible.”
– Lauren Langton, Executive Director, BNI
“Confidence building is a huge part of our business accelerator curriculum, and Peter George is our secret weapon. He spends hours with our students, preparing them to present their business plans in front of a large audience. Many of them have never done any type of public speaking. Peter teaches them everything — lighting, posture, backdrops, sound, speech etiquette, everything! He does this through his role-playing with relatable experiences. These skills directly enhance their personal and professional status. They leave class with every question answered, every insecurity eliminated, and every ounce of self-confidence enlightened. We are very lucky to experience Peter’s time, patience, wisdom, expertise, and encouragement.”
– Samia Walker, Director, EforAll
“I had the pleasure of having Peter speak at my organization’s inaugural conference. The attendees’ feedback was overwhelmingly positive!

– Sahana Kaur, Executive Director, Youth Empowerment For All Conference

– Steve Medeiros, Realtor, President, Massachusetts Association of Realtors
“I used to think that presenting to groups meant talking about what you know, for whatever time you were allotted. However, Peter taught me that there is much more to being a persuasive public speaker. During our coaching sessions, I learned the most effective ways to develop presentations. I learned the importance of body language, including conveying confidence, moving with purpose, and gesturing with impact. I discovered how to use voice inflection, including the proper implementation of rhythm, pitch, and pauses. Through his coaching, Peter has provided me with the tools I need to be not just a competent speaker but an extraordinary one. I can now engage my audiences from the time I walk on stage until I deliver a compelling conclusion. Whether you are looking to improve your skills for presentations in the boardroom, talks at conferences, or just want to be more confident in your public speaking abilities, I highly recommend that you work with Peter. Put your success in his hands, and you won’t be disappointed.”
– Eric Daddario, Youth Motivational Speaker

Whether you are an experienced speaker or fairly new to delivering talks, I highly recommend you consult with Peter before you deliver any meaningful presentation.”
– Jim Mullowney, CEO, Pharma-Cycle

“Wow! I learned more practical and useful information in your training than I did in two semesters of communications classes in college.”
– Tom Campbell, President, East Computing
“Before meeting with Peter, I had some speaking experience/knowledge, and I was fairly confident speaking in front of larger audiences. However, after working with him, I quickly learned that there was so much I didn’t even realize I could improve on — things like body language, voice inflections, pausing, and more! I’ve also learned how to powerfully master the opening and closing of a presentation — the most important parts! Peter has given me the tools and confidence I need to connect with and deliver my message to any size audience. Now I can’t wait for every chance to get out on a stage and share!”
– Bethany DiPetrillo, President, Raise the Bar Nutrition

Peter’s anecdotal and engaging teaching style is well-suited to subtly imparting key bits of wisdom and professional insight that he’s garnered over the years. For those looking to refine your message, voice, and body language, and in doing so, better captivate and influence your audience, I highly recommend that you retain Peter’s services.”
– Sam Birger, President, Nomenon
