Peter grew up with a nurse for a mother and a pediatrician for a father.

From an early age, he witnessed both the profound care they brought to their work — and the toll that work could take. That understanding has never left him.

The work of healthcare is among the most meaningful — and most demanding — in the world. But for the people at the heart of it, the weight of what they carry every day can make it nearly impossible to pause and recognize the difference they're making.

Too often, extraordinary care goes unseen — even by those delivering it. And when it's invisible, it quietly depletes your energy, your connection to patients, and even your sense of purpose.

This keynote is an invitation to change that.

Through powerful music, real stories from the room, and evidence-based strategies, Peter helps healthcare teams reconnect to the meaning behind why they chose this work, honour the profound impact they already create every shift, and leave resourced and re-energized to keep showing up wholeheartedly for the people who need them most.

  • Peter did something really magical here that people are going to remember for a long time.

    He also went out of his way to interview our big award winners and weaved their stories into his stories which really helped connect the message home. He inspired a room full of family doctors who are very busy in their practices, he kept them engaged and got a standing ovation. He was also phenomenal to work with, super engaged, super easy to deal with"

  • "Peter was the perfect fit for our tenth anniversary events. I continue to receive messages of praise from attendees for the joy, practical strategies, and inspiration he gave over the course of our three events.

    He had asked me when we first met what success would be like having him as a keynote presenter. I said I wanted participants to walk away having felt something, feeling like it’s not just a conference for us; it’s something deeper and special. And he delivered”

  • "We have received so much positive feedback from Peter’s session."

    His session brought our medical teams closer together and gave us something we will carry forward. He helped create that optimal experience where our teams can thrive and resiliency flourishes.

  • "Peter, you have inspired us, you have centered us, you have given back to us in a way I don’t think any of us knew we needed.

    Thank you for being here today, thank you for doing what you do, thank you for being part of this world".

Celebrating What Matters in Healthcare:

Johns Hopkins Medicine

When Johns Hopkins Medicine invited me to work with them, they weren’t looking for just a keynote concert — they wanted a full-day, culture-building experience to help their people reconnect to purpose and to each other through such uncertain times.

Using my Celebrate What Matters™ approach, we blended facilitation, live music, and storytelling to surface moments of impact, clarify shared values, and give leaders practical tools for lasting connection and self-regulation.

The result: a 96.5% Net Promoter Score, a 16% increase in connection, and ripple effects that live on through ongoing practices like their “Joy Snacks” wellness station.

This story reminds me that celebration can strengthen culture when it’s tied to purpose, and that shared stories help teams see and speak their values in action.

  • "His presentation was one of those beautiful, rare moments for the audience where they didn’t know they needed to hear it, but it was exactly what they needed to hear.”

    My experience with Peter has forever changed how I will choose keynote speakers. His process is unlike any I have experienced — he approached our audience with intentional purpose and a pure desire to understand and connect. It is that approach that made his presentation resonate with every member of our audience. He has a very unique ability to drive connection.

  • “Peter Katz was a superstar. He felt part of our family, part of our team. 
He was so down to earth, touched everybody…amazing, just amazing."

    He also did a lot of research in advance, interviewing some of our healthcare workers so that he knew what he was speaking about. At the event, he did such a great job getting to know people, he sat with our attendees at their tables… You don't see people doing that anymore”

  • “Peter did everything from meeting individually with employees, to attending other sessions throughout the agenda, and ensuring that he was well versed in other areas of our business before he addressed the audience."

    I am incredibly fortunate to have worked with him and greatly appreciative of the efforts he put into our closing keynote session. The energy he brings is electric. Employees were eagerly engaged, and following shared how much they enjoyed the experience and how connected Peter made everyone feel. I can’t say enough glowing reviews about Peter”
