Peter The Speaker

Dyslexic Dragon Slayer: Neuroinclusive Life Skills Trainer

Based in Worcestershire, Peter has been a youth worker, youth offending team officer and a community worker. His life changed in 2018 when he won investment for his pet inventions in Dragon’s Den, and was named by the BBC as “The Entrepreneur who Floored the Dragons with his Confident Pitch”. Peter is now better known as “Peter the Speaker” for his highly engaging business skills training and transformational workshops.

As a dyslexic, Peter is passionate about providing neuroinclusive training for young people and children for whom conventional “talk and text” teaching is not ideal.

He has been the Entrepreneur in Residence at the Library of Birmingham and named North-Worcestershire Entrepreneur of the Year.

When he is not touring the country delivering training and team building activities, he can be found wild camping, kayaking and trekking or just at home with his cat tinkering on his latest invention.

Testimonials from Teachers

"Peter developed a bespoke session, exploring his entrepreneurial journey and his experience of preparing for and successfully delivering a pitch on BBC's Dragon's Den. Peter drew out a range of excellent lessons for budding entrepreneurs, introduced students to the challenges and pitfalls in launching new enterprises, and led a compelling, interactive and extremely powerful session. He has exceptional teaching skills and the feedback from our students has been excellent."

– Dr Malcolm Kirkup, Senior Lecturer, Worcester Business School

"Peter was the consummate professional from start to finish. Students enjoyed the challenge of applying their problem solving, decision making, communication and leadership skills to a time-limited set of competitive tasks. The student feedback from the session has been extremely positive. Both the staff and the students have said they would recommend Peter for future sessions, and we would very much like to have him return to facilitate more activities with us. I have no hesitation in recommending Peter and we hope to invite him back to Aston again soon."

– Vanessa Clarke, Teaching Fellow and Team Coach, Team Academy Aston
