John Peters was superb – wasn’t expecting things so powerful. Not sure how to top him next time. Many thanks.
John Peters was inspirational. This wasn’t said lightly. He was moving and funny. Remember his photo so well… the man behind that photograph is more memorable. Thank you for the opportunity to listen to him.
Just to say finally how excellent John Peters was, an emotional yet fabulous speech. He was extremely inspirational – translating his experiences of war e.g. courage and linking this to the courage needed in leading and teaching. Thank you. John Peters’ presentation was incredible
To be in a room containing over 200 people with total silence was awesome and I can’t remember that ever happening before. I don’t know if you were aware of the silence but there wasn’t a single cough, any sound of people whispering or shuffling, just stillness. I think that some people had even forgotten to breathe!
When you got up to speak, I really wasn’t sure what to expect, I was quite young during the Gulf war (now 26) so I suppose wasn’t that aware of who you were or indeed, what happened to you. By the time you left the stage, I was totally amazed by your experience and in awe of your courage.
