About The Guest
Pete Cohen is one of the world’s most impactful motivational speakers. From a young age, Pete Cohen wanted to be an actor. It was on stage that he felt most alive and felt connected to his purpose. To him, there was magic in the ability to unlock emotions in his audience: to make them laugh and cry and to change the way that they looked at life. Even at this early age, he knew he had been put on Earth to be on stage. However, as a severe, undiagnosed dyslexic, the young Pete couldn’t learn lines very well and struggled to get parts in school productions. On one occasion, he was fired partway through the rehearsals because he didn’t know his lines. He left school without qualifications and with no real direction – but still a passion to perform. He loved to exercise and, one day, noticed someone leading an aerobics class at his local gym. To him, this was an opportunity to do what he loved – to get up in front of people and make them feel good: only through exercise rather than drama. He took a course in sports science and then became a personal trainer. As he noticed the pattern of people joining a gym, coming for a while and then giving up, his natural curiosity led him to study psychology. In one of his gym classes, he started to talk about beliefs and how they affected performance. These conversations about mindset started to create results for his classes and, on one occasion, one of his participants asked him to speak at their organisation. This was the start of a lifelong career as a keynote speaker, sports psychologist and coach, inspiring people to be better than their best in sport, in business and in life. https://petecohen.com/about-pete/
