Looking for more direction in your life? The solution is simple. Pete Cohen’s Mi365 coaching will enable individuals to enjoy a renewed sense of confidence, have clarity in their lives and even alleviate unnecessary stress.

Pete Cohen is a trained business coach, a recognized authority on personal and professional development, leadership development, motivation, health and well-being. He was the former resident Life Coach on ITV’s GMTV for 12 years and is one of the world’s most sought-after motivational speakers. He is also a best-selling author of 19 published books including Shut the Duck Up, Habit Busting, Fear Busting, Life DIY and Sort Your Life Out and his most recent publication, Inspirators – Leading The Way In Leadership and he is obsessed with taking people from where they are now to where they want to be!

At an early age he realized that his life’s mission would be to educate, and entertain, but he didn’t exactly know what that looked like. His first attempt, in discovering his purpose in life, was on a stage in his local community where he explored acting. Feeling most alive and empowered underneath the lights, Cohen believed this was his calling. However, being severely dyslexic it was extremely difficult for him to learn his lines and he was eventually fired partway through a rehearsal. Cohen left school with no qualifications and very little direction.

Moving in a new direction, that satisfied Cohen’s passion and interest for fitness, he began teaching classes at a local gym where he once again was able to take the stage but this time to lead and enlighten others. His lucky break happened when a member of the gym noticed his ability to make classes about so much more than exercise. As Cohen also was incorporating positive mindset strategies during class instruction it was clear to see that he had a truly unique gift, and he was formally invited to speak at the class participant’s organization. It was at this moment that Cohen had a clear picture of his purpose in life, and in career, that encapsulated his fascination of speaking, coaching and sports psychology, and as they say…the journey began!

Cohen’s newest endeavour, Mi365 business and life coaching, is one where he strives to leave an imprint on his audiences and his delivery is memorable, relevant, thought provoking and invigorating. He prides himself on creating buzz in his coaching and seeks to bring out the urge for his audience to rush out and take positive action. Cohen works with his clients to customize a program that works perfectly for any event agenda. He has coached business leaders, executives, corporate teams and sporting stars around the world to achieve their best and he excels at getting the audiences to think outside the box.

Cohen has a magical talent of helping individuals who feel stuck and alone in their situation and is able to present them with an entirely new mindset filled with comfort and hope where they once again believe in themselves and can clearly see the route to health, wealth and happiness. His theory of “what you put in to it is what you get out of it” is embedded into his messages and he is able to offer individuals the tools they need, to go at the speed of their choice, and all in a way that accelerates personal and professional growth in the most positive way possible.

Here’s what one client had to say about Pete Cohen’s coaching style that captures his style and methods perfectly!

“It was for the first time in a while that IDUG EMEA conference booked a motivational speaker for the keynote. With Pete setting the conference atmosphere on such a great, positive and energetic level, I hope booking a motivational speaker might turn to a regular activity. Pete’s speech set the level of conference atmosphere to a highly energetic and positive level. Attendees were quoting his “Shut the duck up!” for the entire week. You could feel the need to change things for the better all around, and people actually willing to take steps and act upon it. It was a great start of the conference.” – Mirna Kos, EMEA 2013 Conference Chair, IDUG

As Pete Cohen continues to take the stage, his energy, thoughtful discussions, humour and ability to stimulate action among his audiences will only continue to enforce that he is a true, one-of-a-kind, inspirational leader in the industry.

Wanda Knight on Blending Culture, Style, and Leadership Through Travel

The best lessons in leadership do not always come from a classroom or a boardroom. Sometimes they come from a crowded market in a foreign city, a train ride through unfamiliar landscapes, or a quiet conversation with someone whose life looks very different from your own.

Wanda Knight has built her career in enterprise sales and leadership for more than three decades, working with some of the world’s largest companies and guiding teams through constant change. But ask her what shaped her most, and she will point not just to her professional milestones but to the way travel has expanded her perspective. With 38 countries visited and more on the horizon, her worldview has been formed as much by her passport as by her resume.

Travel entered her life early. Her parents valued exploration, and before she began college, she had already lived in Italy. That experience, stepping into a different culture at such a young age, left a lasting impression. It showed her that the world was much bigger than the environment she grew up in and that adaptability was not just useful, it was necessary. Those early lessons of curiosity and openness would later shape the way she led in business.

Sales, at its core, is about connection. Numbers matter, but relationships determine long-term success. Wanda’s time abroad taught her how to connect across differences. Navigating unfamiliar places and adjusting to environments that operated on different expectations gave her the patience and awareness to understand people first, and business second. That approach carried over into leadership, where she built a reputation for giving her teams the space to take ownership while standing firmly behind them when it mattered most.

The link between travel and leadership becomes even clearer in moments of challenge. Unfamiliar settings require flexibility, quick decision-making, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. The same skills are critical in enterprise sales, where strategies shift quickly and no deal is ever guaranteed. Knight learned that success comes from being willing to step into the unknown, whether that means exploring a new country or taking on a leadership role she had not originally planned to pursue.

Her travels have also influenced her eye for style and her creative pursuits. Fashion, for Wanda, is more than clothing; it is a reflection of culture, history, and identity. Experiencing how different communities express themselves, from the craftsmanship of Italian textiles to the energy of street style in cities around the world, has deepened her appreciation for aesthetics as a form of storytelling. Rather than keeping her professional and personal worlds separate, she has learned to blend them, carrying the discipline and strategy of her sales career into her creative interests and vice versa.

None of this has been about starting over. It has been about adding layers, expanding her perspective without erasing the experiences that came before. Wanda’s story is not one of leaving a career behind but of integrating all the parts of who she is: a leader shaped by high-stakes business, a traveler shaped by global culture, and a creative voice learning to merge both worlds.

What stands out most is how she continues to approach both leadership and life with the same curiosity that first took her beyond her comfort zone. Each new country is an opportunity to learn, just as each new role has been a chance to grow. For those looking at her path, the lesson is clear: leadership is not about staying in one lane; it is about collecting experiences that teach you how to see, how to adapt, and how to connect.

As she looks to the future, Wanda Knight’s compass still points outward. She will keep adding stamps to her passport, finding inspiration in new cultures, and carrying those insights back into the rooms where strategy is shaped and decisions are made. Her legacy will not be measured only by deals closed or positions held but by the perspective she brought, and the way she showed that leading with a global view can change the story for everyone around you.
