Prior to Pete’s arrival at our plant, we were in an emotional stalemate between union and management over impending change.  Pete brought wisdom, creativity, an unwavering belief in people, and unbridled optimism to the situation.  He suggested creating a Joint Design Team of management and union employees to achieve what we believed to be diametrically opposed outcomes; cost reduction and improved morale.   Through Pete’s facilitation and coaching efforts, the team achieved a breakthrough outcome that none of us initially thought possible (except Pete of course).  Pete had the most hardened, apathetic employees participating constructively in an effort they believed to be futile, and being part of a solution they thought was unattainable.   The concept so expertly orchestrated by Pete of engaging and empowering the workforce at all levels continues to be employed as a routine practice.  As the team sponsor, Pete and I spent considerable time in discussion and his coaching not only allowed me to play a vital role in the solution, but in the process helped me see possibility in all situations.  Pete’s coaching took me to a leadership level I had never envisioned, and unquestioningly made me a better person in the process.  Peter Lawrie has my utmost respect and endorsement; as a consultant, coach, and person.

I would recommend Peter to any other company for this course...highly credible presenter...loved Peter’s focus on forming new and safer habits...In general it was an awesome presentation and is more educational and had more interesting videos and discussion than any course I have taken...strong use of visual references, materials chosen were well thought out and well received by the class.
