Pete Cohen is a world-renowned speaker, coach, and author, dedicated to helping people break free from survival mode and step into a life of purpose, presence, and success. With over 30 years of experience working with Olympic athletes, business leaders, and organisations worldwide, Pete has helped countless individuals shift from reactive, stress-driven living to an intentional mindset that fosters resilience, growth, and fulfilment. His expertise in human performance, well-being, and productivity has made him a sought-after keynote speaker, inspiring audiences to move beyond simply getting by and start thriving.
Pete’s journey is deeply personal. Despite achieving outward success—publishing books, appearing on TV, and coaching elite performers—he spent years battling imposter syndrome, overworking, and struggling with burnout. His greatest transformation came through profound personal loss, forcing him to stop, reassess, and build a life centred on presence, empowerment, and purpose. This experience led him to develop the Survival-to-Thriving Framework alongside Dr Ray Sylvester, a practical approach that helps individuals and organisations identify and break free from stress-driven habits, build emotional resilience, and shift from being busy to working with real purpose.
Challenging traditional ideas of resilience and productivity, Pete’s keynotes explore how to balance ambition with well-being, align actions with values, and create sustainable success without burnout. Through powerful storytelling and practical strategies, he empowers people to move from merely surviving to leading with intention, energy, and impact. Whether coaching high performers, speaking on global stages, or working with teams, Pete’s mission remains the same: to help people reclaim their time, energy, and potential by living and leading with clarity, presence, and purpose.
