23%

Less than 1/4 of employees are engaged in their jobs*

62%

Almost 2/3 of employees are not engaged or “quiet quitting”*

15%

Almost 1/7 of employees are actively disengaged or “loudly quitting” (actively seeking to prevent your organization from reaching its goals)*

Similarly, 47% of associations are reporting declining memberships, with statistics showing a similar decline in event attendance.* This data suggests that members aren’t finding the sense of security, belonging, momentum and community that they long from their associations and their events.

Employees disengage when they experience a lack of connection to their teams and the impact (i.e. meaning) of their work. When this leads to their resignation, they’re often not quitting the job, but the lack of connection and meaning they feel at work — especially to the people they’re working with.

What might be possible if you could change these numbers? How much money would you save? How much more could you accomplish? And, most importantly, how might you be of better service to your teams, your members, and the people you serve?
Peter’s presentation changed people’s lives. His ability to connect to people’s souls is unlike any 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.

Make It Unforgettable with the Master of Moment-Making

JUNO-nominated singer-songwriter, keynote speaker, and facilitator Peter Katz

Peter Katz makes your event a “can’t miss” experience.

Beyond his music, storytelling and actionable takeaways, Peter stands apart for his deep care for who you are, who your people are, and what specifically will make this shared moment meaningful.

Having dedicated two decades of his life to connecting hundreds of thousands of people through thousands of concerts and keynotes, he has become a master at moment-making (and will show you how to make more moments, too).

It doesn’t matter if your event is in person, virtual, or hybrid: as your people hear their stories and experiences reflected back to them, as they’re celebrated for who they’ve been, who they are, and who they might be, as they learn how to create deeper connection to themselves and others, they’ll remember:

  • Why they work in their role and industry
  • Why they chose to support your organization
  • Their ability to change their relationships with others
  • The impacts that their role uniquely positions them to create.


By the end of your Keynote Concert™, they’ll be newly energized to work with you to create a future worth celebrating.

The Three Keys to Connection

What might be possible when there’s a true sense of connection in the room? More importantly, what might be possible if people knew how to create more of it?

Distilling more than 10,000 hours spent creating powerful connections with and within his audiences, Peter shares the Three Keys to nurturing connection between your people, their teams, and the clients they engage with.

If you’re ready to break down silos and unify team/association members in a way that not only fosters deeper connections but also drives tangible business outcomes, then this is the experience for you.

“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, TSN anchor and Host of Off The Record

Showing Up Wholeheartedly

How do you find the strength and courage to show up wholeheartedly when life is constantly presenting new challenges?

In this keynote, Peter draws on his experience of surviving and thriving in the music industry to motivate attendees to stay on their path wholeheartedly, while also being open to change and embracing the unexpected along the way. Through his powerful songs, stories and immediately actionable takeaways, Peter pulls attendees in and leaves them inspired to show up with purpose every day.
Attendees regularly report being transformed by the power of his message and the authenticity of his delivery, helping them see their purpose through new eyes.

If your people would benefit from a greater sense of intrinsic motivation, personal leadership, resiliency, (and big dose of joy) this keynote is for you.

“We had 1100 managers at our sessions, with varied backgrounds and no connection to the music industry, but Peter’s down to earth approach was incredibly relatable. We got very consistent feedback from all five of Peter’s cross-Canada sessions. I would hire him again in an instant.”
– Declan Brady, Senior Vice President, Field Operations, Bell Canada

If you want to unite and strengthen teams, align values, alleviate staff burnout and celebrate your people in a way they haven’t experienced before, this keynote is for you.

“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.”

Make It a Combo

If you’re experiencing decision-anxiety at the buffet of options above, rest assured that many clients have asked us to combine some of these topics into one custom-designed keynote. Not to worry, we can do that too.

“We’ll never be able to book another speaker ‘cause no one will ever be able to live up to what you just did for all of us. We had 90 minutes with you but we will remember this for the rest of our lives.”
— Heather Lank, Parliamentary Librarian, Library of Parliament
Peter’s presentation was one of those beautiful, rare moments for the audience when an audience got exactly what they didn’t know they needed to hear.”
— Catrina Watson, Events and Sponsorship Manager, OAVT

How does it work?

Peter’s 5-step Super Serve™ process is designed to make developing and delivering your dream-come-true event as smooth and simple as possible. From initial program design to studio-quality pre-event promotional materials — and even full-scale A/V coordination — working Peter will minimize stress while putting you and your teams’ stories front and centre.

Step 1: Compatibility Conversation
What are your “dream-come-true outcomes” and how can Peter be of service to them? If he’s not a fit for your event or organization, he’ll let you know — and do his best to recommend someone that is.
Step 2: Custom-Building Your Event
To create and deliver an offering with a lasting impact, Peter needs to understand your team from the inside out: through interviewing your people, unlocking your stories to celebrate, learning your language, and deeply understanding your core values.
Step 3: Seamless Logistics Coordination
Our team provides full coordination of everything you need to deliver your dream-come-true event. We’re happy to connect directly with your A/V team to coordinate any necessary equipment and technical support — and in some cases can even provide this ourselves.
Step 5: Debrief & Future Visioning
After your event, Peter will always make himself available to connect and debrief, synthesize feedback, and offer strategies to maintain and iterate on your success and create lasting change.
