Hypotheticals

"Everyone involved raves about the hypotheticals and they have been very effective for us"

John Atkin, formerly Blake Dawson Managing Partner

"The event was a huge success, this was due to your effort and dedication to ensuring everything was organised and on track. The feedback we have received so far indicates that the audience found the Hypothetical very entertaining and informative.  My dealings with you both over the last couple of months has been an absolute pleasure, you always had everything under control."

Brooke Ingram,  Australian Public Service Commission

"Thank you so much for such a creative and clever contribution to the symposium. It was very much enjoyed by all and provided much food for thought, referred to many times the following day."

Moya Mills, CEO, The Cranlana Programme Foundation

"The Hypothetical was certainly entertaining ... and, also very challenging. Many thanks again to you for a wonderful performance." 

  Alan Cope, ICI

Facilitation

"For two years in a row now, Peter has handled his role as MC facilitator with sensitivity and professional aplomb. Peter is in a of his own as a corporate MC/interviewer. He digs deep and drills into the key issues. If any client is looking for a frothy, shallow MC, don't chose Peter Thompson! If you're looking for a brave, intelligent, insightful MC, Peter Thompson is your man."

Australian Business Theatre

It confirms the buzz of the night and all the follow up contacts I've recieved. The event was rated in our top 3 out of over 300 and you earnt great recognition and applause."

Broadcasting

"Peter Thompson, a natural broadcaster..." "Talent and experience equipped Thompson well to supply brain food...[he] had the two qualities most precious in a broadcaster: intelligence and warmth."

K.S. Inglis "Whose ABC? The Australian Broadcasting Corporation 1983-2006", published by Black Inc.

“Peter Thompson…current affairs interview giant”. 

The Age

"The beauty of Peter Thompson's weekly chatfest is that it doesn't necessarily depend on the viewer's interest in the guest.  So much information is packed into the program that it becomes not only biography, but Australian social history."

The Daily Telegraph

“Peter Thompson, one of this country’s most respected interviewers.”

                                  The Weekend Australian

"Thompson as interviewer is measured, intelligent and clearly well prepared.  He allows his interviewees room to talk without herding them or constantly interrupting and destroying the flow.  If his subject drops something of interest, he waits for them to finish their line of thought then tracks back to pick it up when the moment is right.  It's an effective method that gets the best out of them."

Gordon Farrer, The Age

Media Workshops

"I have no hesitation in dubbing your session a 'masterful' example of how to combine theory with hands-on explanation of the keys to effective media communication."

John Morton, Professional Public Relations Pty Ltd

Keynote Speaking

"Please be assured that your contribution was greatly appreciated and we have received most favourable comments back from delegates on the substantive and informative nature of our keynote presentation this year.

We were exceptionally pleased with the turnout for the event, especially given the economic duress that most organisations are facing at this time, and I believe that being able to promote the event with your name included as a keynote speaker added weight to our market appeal."

Paul F Howlett, Managing Director EcoForum

"Your presentation was like a breath of fresh air."

National Speakers' Association of Australia

"I appreciate that we were working to very tight deadlines, however working with you and your team made our job much easier."

Ben Walkenhorst, Third National Consumer Congress, Department of Justice, Victoria

"I found the day incredibly stimulating. Superbly crafted, informed by ethics (how rare is that!!) and very educational. I have been driving my wife and a few other people crazy with pathos, logos and ethos. I intend applying it to a major change project I have underway."

Senior Doctor, NSW Health Department

"You listened to us exceptionally well. You were very sensitive to our needs and objectives."  

Jim Carlile, Terry White Group
