In this groundbreaking program of personal and professional growth, Peter will lead you through a professional and personally nourishing (and challenging) combination of insights, activities, reflection and ground-breaking techniques - all of which lead to the practice of "virtue manifesting itself in action". Phronesis is truly a game-changer and may be used as a program for personal growth.

Too many times, the story behind the success is littered with patterns of frustration, broken lives, broken promises and lost opportunities.  ALTAR EGO will change the way you interpret your world and then build a foundation of effective, strategic and yet, entirely self-aware communication. This will lead to the pure power of influence borne of the insights learned when ego gives way to something and someone greater.

Why is the idea of balance so easy to understand and yet so hard to practice? In a world of extremes, where maximum effort is prescribed as the unassailable avenue to breakthrough, Peter presents an alternative where balance takes the form of concentrated bursts of effective, strategic action buffered with 'peace zones' where re-charging the soul takes precedence and long-term, deep endurance emerges as a secret weapon to personal and business success.

This is a unique program designed to give power and permanence to incremental improvement. With weekly assignments and exercises, Peter re-frames and contextualizes the motif of 10, using paradigm shifts, each with a menu of 10 practical changes to take your business and personal performance to new heights. 

MASTERMIND GROUPS

Peter conducts seasonal Mastermind groups.  These limited-membership groups are life-changing, powerful forums for business and personal transformation. Space will be limited to 10 participants in each to give maximum focus and efficacy. Those interested are encouraged to contact us. Due to the limited space, you may be placed on a waiting list for future groups.

INDIVIDUAL COACHING

With a limited number of openings, Peter offers individual coaching to select individuals in order to condense and amplify customized offerings based on his 4 programs.  If you're interested, please reach out. We'll get back to you ASAP on next steps.
