Peter Katz has forever changed the way I choose keynote speakers. He helped our association achieve something we’ve been striving for: to have our members feel recognized and heard. Our personnel are among the most burned-out and highly affected by compassion fatigue. Peter’s stories, songs and clear intention to understand alleviated burdens felt by an entire community.

How did a singer-songwriter find himself delivering Keynote Concerts and Customized Facilitated Experiences to some of the world’s biggest organizations?

To put it bluntly, he was ambushed.

It all began in 2013 when Peter walked on stage to a packed theatre of hundreds of exuberant young fans in the small town of Fort McLeod, Alberta, a place he’d never heard of let alone performed. He learned that a youth mentoring program called FACES had been using his music as part of their curriculum, and that his manager had already received and declined an invitation to support their programming. Undeterred, they’d filled the Empress Theatre to demonstrate the hidden impact his music had been having on their program’s participants and offer him a role in person.

It was an offer he couldn’t refuse — and one that would end up changing his life.

Peter was quickly noticed by one of the biggest agencies in the country and soon became one of the most sought-after speakers on their roster.
To build upon his Keynote Concerts and further meet the needs of his clients, Peter spent hundreds of hours training with xchange (a pioneering facilitation model for unlocking potential at scale) to become an xchange Approach Certified Guide. He now not only delivers keynotes to Fortune 500 companies across North America but works within organizations to create and deliver custom facilitations that help them navigate change, strengthen their company culture, and connect to a shared purpose through his own proprietary method.
True to his roots, music and storytelling permeate every offering that Peter delivers. After a decade of work supporting organizations and individuals from every industry, he brings a deep knowledge and diverse skill set to help teams set the stage for powerful change that endures.

We’ll never be able to book another speaker because no one will ever be able to live up to what you did for all of us. We’ll remember this for the rest of our lives.
