A message from our Symposium Keynote speaker Peter Katz

He has been described by many of his fans and speaking clients as “a thunderbolt for the soul”. A gifted storyteller fluent in English and French, Katz’s high customized “keynote concerts” infuses his presentations with songs to inspire and empower audiences help audiences reconnect with their purpose and leave with a renewed energy around the importance of their work.

A four-time TEDx fellow, Katz’s experiential and unique keynotes help leaders and employees at every level create new opportunities for connection and elevation.
