He created an inspirational manual with life enhancing exercises. I did these exercises and found them so impactful that I have utilized them in my own book “Happily Ever Now” to empower the women I will be helping. I can't say enough about Peter and his character. He is a true gentleman and I am fortunate to know him. He is one of the few people I know who has integrity that is unshakeable. It is for these reasons that I would always support Peter in his endeavors. He is the REAL DEAL.”

- Dr. Thomas Ianniello, D.C., Chiropractor, North Isle Wellness Center

 

“Peter Wink and I have gone through several different experiences together over the past several years. From interviews he conducted with successful people (and those well on the way toward success) to the invaluable instruction he conducted, events we attended together, the mental “boot camps” and the one-on-one conversations we had, all changed me very positively.

I don't want to get into all the specifics on why this worked, just to point out the results from Peter's recommendation. Just trust that if he’s speaking on a topic, he damn well knows what he’s talking about based on actual experience.”

- Steve Moss, Logistics Specialist, United Parcel Service

- Shari Andrews, Entrepreneur

“I met Peter Wink some years ago, at an event where several thousand attended. He was the Master of Ceremony, and one of the main speakers. If I had to choose what he does best, I would definitely have to say BOTH. He is very professional and an amazing speaker. I learned many things from Peter. One I will never forget, is being able to speak in front of an audience in the spur of the moment. On a personal level, Peter is one of the most kind and sincere persons I have meet. If you ever have the chance to meet him in person or learn from him, I highly recommend him. He is a great mentor.”

- Joshua Flores

“With all that I have learned from you, I do believe that you have really had a great impact on me and getting myself turned around and on the right path that I needed to be on. You have such great insight and such a way with words and explaining things that it’s so simple that how in the world did I get so messed up! Talking with Gail last night, we both agree that what you have contributed to us and the group is just priceless. You explain things better than anybody I know when it comes to improving yourself. And I have never had the goal setting set out in front me like you do, no one can compare to you when it comes to that. The special people and the masters of action guest you introduced to us, have really been off the charts. Just the wealth of information you have shared, your insights, everything that you have contributed to making a world of difference for me and Gail both, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

It took me a while to really let you know who I am. I don’t share myself very well, I keep me very private. You, after a bit, I felt I needed to let you in. It was a bit uncomfortable at first, but your help made it all worth it. You are a huge asset to me. I wish you the best of everything and I thank you for everything you have done for me. You have actually done so much for me that I don’t think you really know what it has all meant for me. You helped me to get my life back into my hands and to do what I need to do to make it all so worthwhile. Thank you Peter!”

- Cathy Hess

- Alessandro Iannece, Doice Amore

 

“Peter Wink is one of the best authors, speakers & coaches that I have had the pleasure of learning from & knowing.

“Peter Wink used to work for Nightingale Conant, the leading company in personal development. He was the only one I knew who actually listened to all of the expert leaders his company worked with. From Earl Nightingale to Jim Rohn, both of which Peter turned me onto, Peter lives what he learned. He not only mimics the integrity and determination of these and so many other mentors, he has become a leader and mentor to so many others himself. Author, speaker, trainer, creator, motivator and one who nudges and inspires others in everything he does, Peter is a person who will get it done and hold others accountable for doing the same.”

- Kathleen Sullivan, Nutritionist, Certified Natural Health Practitioner

“Having attended the seminars of a multitude of world class speakers over the years, I can tell you what grabs me as well as what I notice tends to get the attention of audiences in general. There is the often talked about but still unnamable “it” factor. It’s the combination of personality, poise and pizzazz. To be an effective speaker when it comes to personal growth topics, people can tell whether or not you are a genuine person as it comes across in the topics. It has to be heart felt. Connection with the crowd is vital to hold interest and captivate. Having seen Peter Wink speak at numerous engagements I will say that he meets and exceeds all of the above criteria. I look forward to hearing him speak again in the future.”

- Sarah Julie Barendse, Author, Laughing Though Ascension, Owner, Sarah Barendse Creative

“Peter Wink commands a room. His intentions are clear - bring more joy and happiness to people's lives. Wisdom and professionalism accompanies him in both his daily and professional lives. Thank you, Peter, for the lessons and your persistence to keep on keeping on making a difference.”

- Bonnie and Thomas Liotta, LearnToSpeakKid.com

“Getting Clear of Fear is a no holds barred guide to taking control over your life. It’s well organized, and chock full of useful strategies that will eliminate the emotional barriers that are holding you back from success. You are going to love this program as you discover you truly have nothing to fear.”

- Howard Stephen Berg, Guinness Book World Record Speed Reader, CEO of Berg Learning, Author of Mega Speed Reading, Mind/Brain Expert, CEO, Howard Berg International

 

"In a world where common sense and drive for excellence is sorely lacking, Peter Wink fills the void with timeless wisdom that stands the test of time. His calm style and laser-focused execution style are a refreshing change from the distraction of shallow leadership and shiny distractions."

- Mark Kwasny, Author of Thoughts to Think By

 

"Peter has a canny way of compelling me to see truth and reality without any sugar-coating. His frank, forthright approach to advice and unique perspective on issues are refreshing, invigorating. For example, during our interview about facing fears, his questions enabled me to truly see the magic of my particular journey and accomplishments. Whenever I need bracingly optimistic guidance, Peter Wink is my go to..."

- Tamara J Lawson Equine Instructor Hideout Livery, LLC

 

"Learning to leverage logic and reasoning over emotions has been a key learning for me. With Peter's help, I'm now allowing myself to clear the emotional space for logic and clear choices to be made." 

- Jessica Koth, Lead Singer of Spicy Tie Band, Marketing Consultant of Shift Paradigm

"I was fortunate to work with Peter at a former employer, and I'm glad I did! I sensed a great alignment not only in our professional approach but also his attunement to life and what really matters.

 

It's easy in the heat of the moment or stressful situation to lose sight of the bigger picture, the true impact of a moment or what's important. Peter has gleaned so much knowledge when it comes to self-awareness/attunement/regulation/actualization. It's quite astounding, really.

 

But it's how he adds a layer of perceptiveness and intuitiveness to what he shares that adds a level of value that I can't quite describe. He is steadfast in how he approaches every situation, and life in general, and through not only conversations but actions has made me a better, more self-aware and present person. Some people are born with a natural perceptiveness; Peter combines that with straight-to-the-heart-of-the-matter expertise that is unmatched. He makes it safe to be vulnerable and open, which is where true transformation can occur - physically, mentally and emotionally."

- Lori Kaye Lodes, Communications Manager, The Boldt Company

"Are you stuck? Everything is about perspective. Let me introduce you to Peter. My experience is he has an uncanny ability to help you with mental clarity.

 

He is direct, intentional and will help you see where /why you are stuck. He will share with you coping skills, an action plan, and enCOURAGE you to become more. If you want to move forward, he's a very powerful asset to help you do so. I absolutely value and appreciate his skills, insights to help others, as he has helped me. Just say YES! It's time to move forward. Peter's your man."
