Past honourees include Ronald Reagan, Colin Powell, and Zig Ziglar.

Katz received the award at the NSA’s annual conference awards banquet on July 27, 2026 in Austin, TX, surrounded by family, dear friends, and colleagues.

Today, Peter is a trusted partner to Fortune 500 companies, leading healthcare systems, major associations, and all levels of government. They all turn to Peter to help them clarify what matters most, recognize it in everyday actions, and celebrate it in ways that fuel connection and performance.
