Peter, a former chartered accountant, became convinced about the importance soft skills some twenty years ago when running a company that required highly skilled staff to work together in a customer facing business. His first encounter into the advantages of training people with focussed people skills was when he studied to become an NLP practitioner, which in turn led him to develop his highly successful Influence and Persuasion workshops. As well as providing bespoke in-house workshops for companies he has been running workshops for small businesses in Stockport and Glossop.

Peter’s involvement with the world of people skills began when he studied and became an NLP practitioner in 2008. Before then he had enjoyed a career path that started with becoming a chartered accountant and ended with him running a chain of skin clinics. Of all the activities he has pursued his current passion of helping people collaborate and cooperate for mutual benefit has been the most satisfying.
