Peter Laughter

Peter Laughter

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.

Charles-Louis de Maere

Charles-Louis de Maere

Bringing people together is something that lives on through my workshops and training. Whether they take place online or on-premise, I facilitate workshops and learning experiences that focus on high participation, on learning by doing and verifying that the concepts are integrated. I use Live Online Learning Activities to ensure people get a chance to practice their understanding of the new concepts.

What better way is there to give meaning to what we say than to draw to make our thoughts explicit? When we add visual information to what we’re saying, suddenly our intention becomes much more precise, and we can begin to work on shared understanding. This is why I love bringing people in contact with the power of Visual Thinking, of getting back to our roots and using pen and paper to bring people closer together.

Stories are another option for bringing sensitive topics to the surface, which I recently started to explore through my self-development practice, as well as during numerous Around the world in (less than) 80 days workshops throughout the past years!
