Point 6 loves Peter Larkum. Why? Peter always challenges us all to support each other — by acknowledging our difficulties, celebrating the good stuff, and helping us spot the signs when things aren’t going so well. He does this with honesty, humour, and gently stretches our thinking. As a business owner and leader, Peter’s training has been invaluable for our business and highly motivated team. Recommended.
— Russ Hodgson (Director, Point 6 Design)
We recruited Peter to speak on Mental Health in our workforce at our first virtual conference. Peter instantly had a rapport with the audience. He was on his feet, moving around with energy. Feedback on his session included… “Excellent session, thank you! Some extremely important issues discussed which are mostly not spoken about in the workplace”, “what a fantastic, thought-provoking session!” and “What a brilliant talk - thanks so much for your insight!”
— Jo Lewis (Head of Events at International Compliance Association)
Despite the heavy subject matter, Peter delivered with realism and humour. We were all fully engaged, we gained confidence to help those around us, and protect and prioritise our own mental health.
— Gillian Cowgill (Human Resources Manager, Kaicer Building Envelope Solutions)
I would highly recommend Peter: the depth of knowledge, enthusiasm, and interest he conveyed made the subjects real and easy to understand. His ability to educate with sensitivity and good humour made for a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Can’t recommend Peter highly enough.
— Simon Bode (Architect, Ministry of Justice)
Pete’s mental health sessions are brilliant. He has a genuine gift for mental health and wellbeing. He successfully educated an entire seasonal workforce to have the knowledge and confidence they needed, which allowed them to take action when required. I would recommend him without hesitation.
— Jordan Newport (Social Worker, Hampshire County Council)
Peter is an incredible speaker. He delivers tough subjects in a sensitive and entertaining way. His method of teaching means that you learn so much and also feel part of a discussion, not a class. That is a rare skill, especially over Zoom! I would highly recommend him for an entertaining and inspiring speaker or a fantastic trainer!
— Lisa Mountain Thompson (Customer Success Manager, Happity)
Peter connects his expertise in mental health with a highly energising delivery that creates a lasting result. It’s a tough cover difficult and often saddening topics, but Peter's ability to convey the seriousness of the topics and yet bounce the mood of the room back to a positive learning environment is so important.
— Mike Cole (Senior Business Partner, Experian)
I have had the pleasure of hearing Peter on a number of occasions, including the launch of ‘Mentality’ in London. Pete is passionate, motivating, and really works hard to make sure that everyone in the room is engaged. I would recommend Pete’s training to anyone and really hope businesses introduce ‘Mentality’ nationwide.

What a chap! Highly recommend Peter as a speaker. Peter is a kind, empathetic, and professional who respectfully asks the questions we all want the answers too. I look forward to working with Peter again in the future.
— Emma
I recently asked Peter to join a two day event speaking to our MD’s and Exec team. Peter did an outstanding job. He was highly engaging and challenged the team on some difficult topics (in a positive way). It got us thinking and discussing in our groups how to move things forward. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Peter on three or four occasions now and I have always found him to have the capacity to engage the room on difficult topics in a positive and empowering way so that you leave with a new way of looking at things. I whole-heartedly recommend Peter's services — get him booked, you wont be sorry!
