Peter Shepherd

Pete Shepherd is a leadership and executive coach. He has worked with more than 10,000 leaders and executives around the world from over 150 companies including Google, Slack, Kraft Heinz, Amazon, UNICEF, Westpac, Woolworths, and The Australian Navy.

Pete believes leadership is a choice not a title, which is why he focuses on the real, human qualities of leadership, like curiosity, empathy, and humility. By nurturing and honing these skills every single day, he helps his clients develop, grow, and create change.

Beyond the corporate world Pete has worked closely with some of the world’s brightest minds including 20 times best selling author Seth Godin and multiple Booker Prize winner, and author of The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood. He has clients who have built multi-million dollar companies and others who’ve raised nearly that much for charities. Others have performed on Broadway, been nominated for Australian of the Year, and produced Emmy and Cannes award winning TV shows.

Pete is a TEDx speaker, writer, and co-host of The Long and The Short Of It, a weekly podcast that explores leadership, change and workplace culture.

His stories and talks are funny, clever, inspiring, and captivating, and provide practical tools you can use each day to better understand people and to build more effective teams.
