"In our business, like any other competitive business, we're constantly challenged, have tough decisions to make, things are changing all the time. Being comfortable in that sort of space was actually at the core of Peter's message.

I would hire him again in an instant"

Declan Brady
Senior Vice President, Field Operations, Bell Canada

“We hired Peter to be our opening keynote for our Canadian Innovation Conference held in Quebec City in November 2019. To say he started our conference off right and wowed our delegates is an extreme understatement. A group of meeting and event professionals are well versed with keynotes but the emotion and thought-provoking presentation Peter gave really got them. He is an authentic soul with a genuine nature that appeals to the masses and his stories are heart-warming. In my leadership roles in the meetings industry I’m blessed to work with a lot of keynotes and I can’t remember one that I enjoyed working with more. Leading up to our conference Peter was extremely professional, engaged and truly cared about customizing his content to deliver the greatest benefit to our audience.

Two thumbs up…way up!”

Krista Cameron
Professional Convention Management Association Canada East Chapter, Canadian Innovation Conference 2019 Co-Chair & Business Development Director, Freeman Audio Visual Canada

"Peter's presentation changed peoples' lives. His ability to connect to people's souls is unlike anyone I've ever seen, and through that connection they're able to re-experience life and understand that there is not only hope but tremendous opportunity.

To be the highest standard of being a storyteller is to be like Peter Katz"

Jeff Pulver
Vonage Founder and VOIP Pioneer

“I would hire Peter Katz again in a nanosecond. He transformed the lives of 130 employees that will show up to work and do better, with more meaning in their personal and professional lives. It was amazing. I’ve hired a ton of people that do speaking engagements, but Peter didn’t phone it in, he took the time and care to understand a lot about us as a company, what our objectives were, what we’re trying to engender in our employees, and created a unique, and very specific set of content and experience for our employees that really resonated.

He’s been amazing in his ability to adapt his message and inspire people in a way that quite frankly is almost impossible for us to do as a company ourselves, so we’ve been so pleased with his ability to do that on our behalf in a way that was entertaining and really brought a personal connection and an emotional connection to our company”

York Baur
CEO of MoxiWorks

“In our 5 year history of operating this conference we have not had the type of meaningful feedback and positive response to a keynote speaker like we got for Peter Katz.

He made a huge impact on the group and caused so many important conversations to happen”.

Sara Bentham
Xcelerate Summit

“Not often does a keynote speaker meet all expectations, but Peter Katz not only met our expectations, he knocked them out of the ballpark. Our staff praised Peter calling him an “amazing speaker”, “a breath of fresh air” and “organically inspirational and funny.” From our first meeting, Peter was the consummate professional - he requested and reviewed our strategic plan and the job descriptions of the attendees to tailor his speech to his audience. He entertains and engages with his music and weaves his four key learnings throughout his talk --messages that are applicable to anyone in the organization, regardless of influence or position.

I would not hesitate to recommend Peter as a keynote speaker for an event.”

Elizabeth Netto
Trillium Health Network

“I felt like he understood me and I understood him.

There were 400 people in the room but it felt like we were connected”

Michael Landsberg
Legendary TSN anchor and Host of ‘Off The Record’

“Peter Katz was a pleasure to work with. From the beginning to the end of our event he was with us all the way. He did everything from meeting individually with employees, to attending other sessions throughout the agenda, and ensuring that he was well versed in other areas of our business before he addressed the audience. I am incredibly fortunate to have worked with him and greatly appreciative of the efforts he put into our closing keynote session. The energy he brings to a virtual event is electric, and you can feel it on the other side of the screen. Employees were eagerly engaging in the chat, and following shared how much they enjoyed the experience and how connected Peter made everyone feel.

I can’t say enough glowing reviews about Peter”

Christina Northcott - Senior Manager, Conference & Events at Canada Health Infoway

"Peter Katz was the closing keynote for Xerox's TWA national conference and what an amazing inspirational speaker he was!! As the individual accountable for the keynotes I would 100% recommend Peter to any other organization looking for a keynote that will impress and connect with your audience. I can't even count how many people came up to me after and commented on how moved and motivated they were. Peter takes the time to understand the individuals he will be connecting with and uses his music to make it

a truly unforgettable experience".

Samantha Mah
Digital Process Automation Principal at Xerox

“Peter created a customized message for our leaders based on our retreat theme. The reaction that we got was that he really spoke to their hearts. He pulled them in emotionally. It wasn’t just about knowing how to be a leader and the things that you do and the knowledge that you have; it really was about speaking to our leaders from the heart, and pulling on their heartstrings to remind them of why they do what they do every day and the people and clients that we serve.

It was a beautiful moment”.

Amber Smith
Learning and Development Specialist – Ontario Shores CMHS

“The amount of people that walked up to us afterwards, with tears in their eyes, who said that he had absolutely changed their lives… I can’t even count on 2 hands,

it was unbelievable”

Daniel Levine
Fireside Conference Founder

“Peter Katz is a Hall Of Fame speaker in the making. By the time Peter is done working with your group,

he will have everyone running for the mountaintop to do what needs to be done to move your organization forward”

"Peter Katz is one of the best storytellers that I have ever seen.

You can tell that he has lived every part of his story, and it's just captivating”

Brian Smith
Founder of UGG Boots

Peter was our top-rated keynote speaker from the event. I had countless people approach me during the weekend to comment on how much they enjoyed his presentation and how it resonated with them and their experiences. They loved the customized little comments and jokes that Peter managed to thread throughout his presentation. Peter’s pre-event leg-work, attention to detail, and frankly his humility to not assume he knew his audience was clear to all. One attendee commented that they had

“never had a speaker take so much time/effort to know their audience.”

“I go to a lot of conferences,

I’ve never seen people get as emotionally involved at a conference as what I saw happen during and after Peter spoke”

Jeff Lehman
Mayor of Barrie

We expected a lot from Peter after doing our research, but he absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. He was incredible from start to finish. I laughed, I cried, I cried from laughing so hard. A lot of what he brought into his talk was really reflective of us, and what we do here. I think his messaging hit home with everyone in the room.

It was an hour that we will never forget and we are so grateful for this incredible day”

Kathleen Gratton
Director, Attendance Support Services
SCHOOL BOARDS' CO-OPERATIVE INC.

"His message resonated with everyone in the room, from investors, to startup founders, to writers, and corporate executives. Peter's emotional connection with the audience could not have been stronger; I could have heard a pin drop in an audience of over 400 people. Peter's dedication to his craft is so evident in his work, and

his unique gifts make him an outstanding musician, and an equally outstanding speaker."

Alexis Dean
Founder and CEO of Dovetail Team building and Training

“At a time when so much is uncertain in our industry, Peter Katz delivered a much needed and powerful message of resilience and strength to our members. His ability to engage and connect with the audience through a virtual platform was incredible (and the audio/production was the best I have seen in any online show, hands down!).

We were flooded with heartfelt thanks from participants. Peter is a natural storyteller and gifted artist.”

Erin Benjamin, President & CEO, Canadian Live Music Association

"The reason why I recommend Peter so highly is that he was authentic, he was impactful, and he was empathetic. We so appreciated how Peter was able to move us with his music and his stories,

and we had truly never felt so connected – 320 people in a virtual event."

Dr. Lisa Calder, MD, MSc, FRCPC, Chief Executive Officer/Executive Director, Canadian Medical Protection Association

"Peter Katz delivered what was by far the best one hour Keynote that our audience has ever seen.

I am so grateful he has chosen to share his talent and gift with others. I can’t wait for the next opportunity to work with Peter!"

Andrea Symington, Event Management Supervisor, Canadian Medical Protective Association

"Peter was engaging, authentic, entertaining, and inspiring. He really did his homework to make this event special for our staff, and it paid off.

Attendee reviews were stellar; they really appreciated his message and unique mix of story-telling and music."

Ashley Jennison, Employee Events and Recognition Specialist, The Co-operators

"As an event planner, I’m cautious of booking virtual speakers. Often, the speaker just doesn’t connect in the same way as if they were live with the audience. Peter Katz did that. Peter took the time to get to know who my members were in advance of the session and connected with them throughout.

It was an impactful, moving, inspirational hour-and-a-half that really motivated our members and gave them a sense of wellness during these uncertain times."

Jeff Pelich, Vice President, ETFO Waterloo Region

"Peter’s Zoom meeting/event was amazing! His music is beautiful, his words and message are inspirational, he made the group feel united. It was so enjoyable!

If anyone is considering booking Peter for this experience they should not hesitate- they and their participants will be so happy afterward."

Stephanie Lander, Sales Manager, Exhibition Place

"Peter Katz is truly a triple threat. He worked closely with me and my team to develop an inspiring presentation that was interesting, motivating and a lot of fun.

I’m already applying what I learned from Peter’s session to manage my team at American Express."

Patrick Doyle, Vice President and General Manager for Canada at American Express Global Business Travel (GBT)

"We greatly appreciated both Peter’s singing and the sharing of his story. He was so engaging and inspiring, and we were very lucky to have had him as the final keynote speaker of our two-day conference. I am sure that the teens really connected to his story and that it gave them the confidence to be champions of their own lives.

I really hope to work with him again!"
