SIGNATURE KEYNOTE #1
Celebrate
What Matters™
Bring hidden moments to light — and watch them multiply into momentum
Too often, the most inspiring moments inside organizations go unnoticed — the ones where your people truly live your mission, deliver on your values, and make a real impact. When these stories are surfaced and celebrated, something powerful happens: they spark more of the very actions and attitudes you want to see.
This keynote introduces the Celebrate What Matters™ framework — a proven approach to uncovering those moments, amplifying their impact, and sparking more of them. Through live music, storytelling, and actionable tools, Peter helps audiences reveal the “recipe” behind their successes and put it into practice immediately. The result: a ripple effect of connection, inspiration, and performance that proves, time and again, we become what we celebrate:
Bring Purpose to Life
Know exactly how to surface the moments where your vision, values, and purpose come alive
Internalize Stories That Fuel Action
Turn your hidden stories into fuel for daily action and ongoing inspiration
Unite Your People
Strengthen alignment and connection across teams, members and leadership
Build Belonging

Ready to celebrate what matters most in your organization?
“We party to forget, we celebrate to remember.”
– Peter Katz
KEYNOTE #2
Celebrating
Your Impact: Wholehearted Service
Honouring and elevating those who serve — in healthcare, education, public service, long-term care, and other mission-driven fields.
The work of caring, teaching, and serving the public is deeply meaningful — and deeply demanding.
For those in healthcare, education, public service, long-term care, and other mission-driven professions, the daily pressures of high stakes, limited resources, and constant change can make it hard to pause and recognize the difference you’re making.
Too often, extraordinary impact goes unseen — even by those creating it. And when it’s invisible, it can slowly drain your energy, your connection, and even your sense of purpose.
This keynote is an invitation to see your work — and yourself — through new eyes. Through powerful music, real stories from attendees, and practical strategies, Peter helps mission-driven professionals reconnect to the meaning behind what they do, honor the profound impact they already create, and leave them resourced and re-energized to keep showing up wholeheartedly.
Energy to Keep Going
Find renewed motivation and pride in the work you do and the people you serve.
Recognition That Resonates
Learn how meaningful celebration — of yourself and others — fuels morale and belonging.
A Lasting Shift in
Perspective

KEYNOTE #3
Why I Celebrate Discomfort
Courage and Growth for Students and Youth Audiences
What stepping into discomfort taught me — and how students can find growth and courage in theirs.
Students today face immense pressure — academic demands, social comparison, and an uncertain future. Fear of failure and discomfort often hold them back from pursuing opportunities that could shape their growth and resilience.
In Why I Celebrate Discomfort, Peter shares his journey from nervous open-mic performer to award-winning touring musician, showing students that discomfort is not a sign to retreat but an invitation to grow. Through engaging music, personal storytelling, and actionable takeaways, he empowers youth audiences to step into challenges, embrace courage, and unlock their hidden potential.
