"Petri Niskanen is a man who I have known for almost a decade, and for whom I have the utmost respect. His undoubted talent and expertise, particularly in the training and human development arena, is recognised as world class. In an age where people are bombarded with new techniques and technology, effectiveness in this area, combined with innovation, creativity and impact are a rarity.

Over many years, I have observed Petri training and coaching an enormous range of seminars, sessions and programmes. His students are spell bound, his research and preparation without question exemplary, his content relevant and contemporary. More importantly his communication and interactive skills ensure that anyone who has the privilege to be coached by him leaves that experience motivated, excited and educated.

I cannot recommend him highly enough and continue to be impressed with the humour, style and professionalism he brings to this arena - so much so, that when I was seeking an individual to travel to Miami and train my 17 International JCI Vice Presidents (from 16 countries might I add) I wanted a person who would really enthuse them, inform them, communicate with them, prepare them, crossing all boundaries of culture and creed. Petri was the obvious choice, and the result was outstanding - as I had expected it would be.
