You are looking for a speaker who helps people stop, breathe, and think clearly when the pressure is on.
You want someone who can relate to your audience as human beings, not as roles or titles. Someone who understands change and uncertainty, and who can help people regain perspective, energy, and confidence without noise or performance.
You are not just looking to motivate people in the room. You want them to leave with clarity, intention, and a different way of responding to what comes next.

Navigating Change and Uncertainty: Pete Cohen’s Transformative Approach
This keynote focuses on helping people master the mindset required to live and work well in uncertain environments. Pete shares practical ways to slow down thinking, regulate pressure, and respond with clarity rather than habit.
Audiences leave with tools to think differently, act intentionally, and build resilience that lasts beyond the event.
Comfort Habits AND the Illusion of Certainty
Comfort habits create the appearance of control, but often limit growth. Pete explores how certainty can become a trap, and how learning to pause and reflect opens the door to meaningful change.
Overload, Resistance, and Stress
This session helps people recognise the cost of constant urgency. Pete shows how learning to stop, breathe, and reset thinking reduces overload and restores energy and focus.
From Vision to Reality
Pete helps individuals reconnect with their future direction by clarifying intentions and aligning daily actions with what truly matters. This keynote supports wellbeing, productivity, and long term clarity in the workplace.
The Role of Intentions and Alignment
At the heart of Pete’s work is intentional living. By choosing intention daily, people build alignment between values and actions, strengthening culture, leadership, and personal responsibility.
Pete COHEN in Action
People often describe Pete as engaging and present on stage, but his focus is always on the audience. His commitment is to serve your people by helping them think clearly, act intentionally, and navigate change together.
What makes Pete Cohen so inspirational?
Pete helps people change perspective, not personality. People rarely change when they are told what to do. They change when they see things differently.
His techniques are simple, practical, and usable every day. Audiences leave not just motivated, but steadier, clearer, and better equipped to deal with uncertainty.
Most importantly, it is never about Pete. It is about your people.
Hiring the right keynote speaker is vital to make the most of any event.
He seeks to change perspectives not change people
People in organisations rarely change when you tell them what to do. People change when they are given a different perspective. Pete takes your key messages and delivers them in ways that give people a new way of looking at them. With this changed view they are better placed to engage with your business and adopt new and more productive behaviours.
The techniques he shares are simple, effective and can be used every day
Pete is one of the most well-known coaches in personal and professional development and has been honing his skills for over 25 years. He has mastered the art of taking complicated and challenging topics and delivering them in ways that creates excitement and belief in people. Pete fills his keynotes with straightforward tips, tools, techniques and strategies that can be immediately applied for maximum impact.
His style is entertaining and memorable with a strong message
There’s nothing more compelling than someone who can inspire people to take positive action. One of the many ways Pete does this is through sharing powerful stories and real-life experiences that relate to people and have audiences hanging on every word. Pete excels at this not just because of his wealth of experience but because it is his passion. He loves to share what he knows and has learned in ways that make people believe that they too can do great things and be happier, more productive and successful.
Audiences love him
Pete delivers the goods on and off the stage. He spends as much time in the audience, talking directly to his audience as he does on the platform. This personal approach betrays his genuine interest in people and in helping them realise their full potential. Pete consistently gets five stars in feedback and is rated the most enjoyable and impactful part of any event.
People leave the room not just motivated but inspired – and the inspiration endures
Pete is one of the most powerful inspirational and motivational speakers you will find because he knows how to stir passion, inspire action and genuinely move people. When Pete speaks he has lasting effects and results. He is able to challenge and inspire people to be better than their best every day, regardless of the size of the event. His fearless, unorthodox and fun approach loosens up your audience, accelerates connection and deepens inspiration because your people will be both entertained and engaged. Once you hear him speak, you’ll want him back.

Most importantly, he knows this isn’t ... ‘The Pete Cohen Show’
It is all too common in the world of personal and professional development to come across key-note speakers who are seeking ‘celebrity status.’ Not Pete. He knows it’s not about him. It’s about you, your people and your audience. He’s passionate about making a difference and it comes through on and off the stage. His commitment is simple: serve you and do whatever it takes to make your event a massive success.
