You are invited to join members of The Executive Connection for their next speaker session, led by Peter Fisher on The Heart of Communication.

OUR SPEAKER, PETER FISHER

Peter Fisher is a 1975 graduate of architecture at Sydney University. Like all good architects, he pursued an acting career, which spanned nearly 20 years, with extensive experience in theatre, film and television. In 1991, yearning for change, he found himself in the world of corporate communication consultancies.

In 1995, aware of the need for a more imaginative and vigorous approach to corporate training and development, Peter created his own company, Act One!, specialising in interactive theatre-based learning processes. His programme design and facilitation has evolved over the years, bringing to life a practical understanding and application of emotional intelligence in the workplace.

He has developed a unique style of facilitation and programme design, drawing on the fundamental methodologies of the theatre, which focus on behavioural issues related to communication, customer service, teamwork and collaboration, innovation and leadership development. His workshops impact on a personal level as well as on a business one.

Peter has quickly earned a reputation as an energetic facilitator of innovative, interactive workshops, leadership programme sessions, conference events and one-on-one coaching sessions.

Peter has worked with people from all levels of industry - call centre operators, senior executives, factory workers, middle managers, team leaders, Board Members and CEOs.

THE TOPIC, The Heart of Communication
