Hello there! I'm Peter Laughter, and 12 years ago, an experience transformed my understanding of leadership and set me on a path to fulfill my purpose. I realized that the best solutions come from those closest to the problem, not from the top down. This led me to embrace distributed decision-making, empowering individuals to help organizations become more agile and resilient in today’s rapidly changing landscape.

My purpose is to reveal the profound bonds that connect all humanity, making them visible and tangible in our daily lives. To thrive amid exponential change, organizations must shift from command-and-control to a network system of distributed authority. The traditional command-and-control orthodoxy is as harmful for corporate leaders as it is for employees, stifling innovation and engagement. Through my speaking and consulting, I guide organizations in building dynamic methods for fostering this new approach.

With over 25 years in the recruiting and staffing industry, I've founded three successful firms, served elite consultancies and banks, and pioneered the first SaaS platform for managing enterprise labor programs. My work has earned prestigious awards, including the Inc 500.

I'm a TEDx speaker on Radical Empathy and a three-time Moth Story Slam winner, with a story featured on The Moth Podcast. These experiences reflect my passion for storytelling and my ability to connect deeply with audiences.

When I'm not transforming the business world, you'll find me exploring trails on my bicycle, lost in a book, or sharing stories. And yes, I love a good laugh – after all, it’s in my name! Most of all, I love riding the Cyclone with my daughter Eddy.

What began in 2014 on YouTube as "QueenSheeMee" Discovering your inner Queen, Who is Shee, Within Mee, a video documentation journey of Queen Esther Spivey's self care & self love journey quickly grew as a community of black men & women learning how to care for their own natural beauty, lifestyle, and wellness as little information was shared during that time period on social media. From demos, reviews, unboxings, and daily vlogs grew the demand for Queen Esther to offer Natural Hair Services, in person, which lead her to return to college for Cosmetology, and eventually the birth of "Touched By Queen Esther" in 2018 as a full service salon in the NW FL (Panhandle) Area.

Hello, I'm Julio Souffront, a UX designer at Qik, where my focus is on crafting designs that deeply resonate with users. My background in industrial design has paved the way for a broader mission in my career: to make meaningful contributions through thoughtful design. For me, it’s about more than just looks or functionality; it’s about creating experiences that touch people on a deeper, more human level.

My vision is both humble and ambitious: to make a dent on the world, regardless of its scale. In every project, I strive to create experiences that not only function well but also enrich lives. This approach is underpinned by a philosophy where empathy and respect are as vital as aesthetic appeal and practicality.

But my aspirations go beyond just professional achievements. It's about building a community where ideas are exchanged freely and growth is a shared journey. Every interaction and every piece of feedback presents a new opportunity to learn and evolve. I am dedicated to this path of discovery and innovation, constantly exploring new ways to blend functionality with emotional resonance, and marrying design with experience.

If you’re drawn to the idea of continuous learning and empathetic design, or if you simply want to exchange thoughts over coffee, I’m always open to conversation and collaborative exploration. Let’s connect and see where this journey takes us!
