Leadership Expert

Pete's 13 years of Disney work experience laid the foundation for his passion around leadership, customer service and employee engagement.  He was a Disney Ambassador finalist and received the prestigious "Partners In Excellence" award, which is presented to the top 3% of Cast Members.

For 18 years, Pete has worked in local government, and is currently a Training and Organizational Development Manager responsible for the professional and career development of 7,000 local government employees.  He not only speaks on leadership....he practices it every day!

Employee Engagement: Lessons from the Mouse House and 55 Ways to Add Disney Magic to your Organization are two books that can help you improve as a manager, supervisor, or leader.  His third book, Pick Up The Roach! How Great Leaders do the Dirty Work, is due out in late 2025.

For five years and counting, Pete has shared leadership and motivational messages every Monday on Good Day Alabama, the highest rated morning show in Central Alabama.  This weekly session on WBRC-TV allows him to motivate and inspire viewers from across the state of Alabama.

"Pete's Points" video blogs reach over 10,000 leaders each week.  These short two minute leadership blasts are recorded from locations across the United States, and provide micro-bursts of learning for employees and leaders at all levels.

Pete leads a team of four direct reports, and on the executive leadership team of his organization.  He is a husband and father who (like you) also feels he never has enough time. He doesn't just share best practices with others...he has to apply them to his leadership style every day!
