Client Testimonials
Here is what some of my current and former clients say about how I’ve helped them achieve their goals:
“I had never expected to be a writer. When the time came that I felt the need to share my knowledge, Peter was the first person to show complete support and enthusiasm for my ability to accomplish this goal. He was my cheerleader, my seeing-eye dog and cow-prod. He kept me on track and moving in the right direction which I never would have found on my own. He kept me true to my voice. I can say with confidence that I am indeed a writer. Now I have finished book to share with old clients and new clients.”

Smith Banfield, Founder - Clear Space, and Author -Clear Space
“In preparation for a professional redirection, I needed a better understanding of my accomplishments if I was going to get to where both I and my work needed to be. The story I had to tell about them, along with my own understanding of where I was in my journey, was far from clear. With Peter, I gained clarity of thought, clarity of purpose, clarity of direction, and clarity of expression. With this vision, I completed my MBA and now am embarking on a new career.“
- Manuel Montes, Sloan Fellow Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Director of Procurement for North America at Lineage Logistics
“Peter is an exceptionally gifted creative mentor. He has the sensitivity and patience to listen to what you’re trying to say and the intuition to help steer you to find your voice and the strength that leads to discernment and true art. My partner, Erin Burke, and I are writing a book proposal and we needed guidance. Peter helped us discover the answers we were looking for. He got us thinking clearly in new directions. Our book and concepts went from good to exceptional. Four agents are currently reading the proposal.”
- Abbey Cook, Co-Founder, The Experiment of Life
Frequently Asked Questions
Who do you work with?
My clients are professionals, entrepreneurs, and creators. They want to step up the complexity of their work or transition their experience into a new form. They’re passionate about what they do and committed to where they want to go. Their projects tend to be long-term with sophisticated challenges and goals. From concept to completion, or at any stage in between, they know I’m there to get them across the finish line.
Is your work different than coaching?
While coaching is an important and necessary element of my work, I also offer my clients insight and solutions for stumbling blocks connected to their actual creative project itself. Speaking figuratively and literally, I can get my hands dirty helping you adjust the nuts and bolts that hold your project together, saving you time and money in the process.
What if you’re not familiar with my area of expression?
Over the past twenty years as a successful entrepreneur and working artist, I’ve learned that, no matter the field, the questions and challenges arising in any creative process are the same. A sculptor may use different tools from a writer or a creative technologist; all face the same problem: how do I make my idea a reality? That’s where I will guide you.
What if I don’t have a project? Can I still work with you?
Absolutely! I love working with clients who are discovering their creativity or facing a blank page, canvas, or screen. Together, let’s uncover what’s possible for you.
