A terrific group of financial managers from across Canada who gathered for a three day leadership conference at the River Rock Hotel. My 45 minute presentation on leadership success turned out to be the perfect fit for this receptive group.

"It was an amazing experience to work with Peter Legge. His address fit perfectly for our Leadership theme of the conference and when he talked about his own life, he connected to me and all of the managers who attended. His address was a perfect addition to the conference."
