Dr. Peter Jensen is a dynamic speaker with a PhD. in Sport Psychology. An authority on leadership, he is a renowned innovator - bringing coaching and personal high performance to corporations worldwide.
Peter has attended six Olympic games as a member of the Canadian Olympic team and has helped numerous athletes achieve high performance levels under intense pressure including, most recently, the gold-medal winning Women's Hockey team. With the world of Olympic level sport as a laboratory, he has developed a deep understanding of what it takes to be a successful leader of high performers.
Peter is a top-rated instructor in seven programs at the Queen's School of Business including the MBA for Science and Technology program that, in 2004, was ranked by Business Week as the number one MBA outside the United States. He also helped design the Queen's Executive Leadership Program. He is a founding director of Performance Coaching Inc., one of Canada's leading corporate training firms. Fortune 500 companies in eight countries have benefited from Peter's programs.
Peter combines fundamental leadership concepts with new ideas and ongoing insights from Olympic coaches and corporate leaders. He distills diverse approaches and brings practical clarity to effective leadership skills by sharing their tangible application in the business world.
Peter's two books The Inside Edge and Igniting the Third Factor contain the many lessons and skills Peter has learned from his extensive work with elite performers. His work has been featured on ABC, CBS, CBC, CTV and in a wide array of print media in North America and Europe. Peter's clients include BP, Nexen, Syncrude, Labatt, Hydro One, CCMD, RCMP, GE Capital, Maclean's and Royal Bank.
As a speaker, Peter has the power to invigorate audiences through his compelling use of humour, personal experiences and concrete, actionable content. And, as a 'developer of people' his strength is in creating environments where people learn and grow. Peter's wealth of personal experiences in both the corporate and sports arenas allow him to communicate high-level concepts in an extremely accessible way through anecdotes, metaphors and true stories. Peter's audiences enthusiastically declare that he is insightful, relevant, and highly entertaining!
Peter's presence by itself draws one's attention, and with his deep understanding of what motivates and supports optimal performance, he is successful in giving a 'gift' to each person who attends. I've never known anyone to leave a session not totally inspired.
