“Peter is a very original, creative and thoughtful career consultant in his ability to develop programs ahead of the curve, by conceiving new concepts and by offering pragmatic uses for clients to use.

“Peter has seasoned experience to develop targeted programs & interventions; and a talented & reassuring manner to deliver them with high quality service.

Terry McGuinness- Managing Director, Zurich Scudder
“If you’re considering working with Peter Prichard, there are three things you should know. First, his integrity is extraordinary. He does what he says he’ll do. Period. And when he has an assignment where confidentiality is expected, he tells no one anything without explicit prior agreement. No one. Second, he has strong facilitation skills. He’s very good at bringing people into communication with each other in ways that get things done. And third, he’s a pleasure to work with. Honest. Straightforward. Pleasant. Great sense of humor. If you haven’t met him yet, you should see if you can do that.”
Orville Pierson- author, Highly Effective Networking; The Unwritten Rules of the Highly Effective Job Search
“Peter effectively assumed the role as the lead facilitator in a large-scale emotional intelligence development program with nearly 100 participants and also co-facilitated smaller programs that involved top team development, leadership development, and internal accreditation. Peter is one of the best facilitators that I have ever observed, and he is especially effective in large-scale training programs which are naturally more difficult to facilitate well. He is able to easily connect with people even when speaking to dozens of participants in the room.”
Stephanie Sloan Classon PhD- Senior Principal, Hay Group
“We have hired many organizational development coaches/consultants to speak at our conferences, and my feeling is that Peter Prichard is at the top of his craft. He takes the state of the art management science, distills it to the appropriate level of detail, and then presents it with an approachable and memorable style that is simply on the mark. When I think of someone who can educate high-value groups about organizational development, Peter Prichard is not just top of mind, he is at the top.”
Tim Bateman- Managing Product Director, Lincoln Healthcare Leadership
“The organization I led at the time retained Peter to present a program on outstanding volunteer leadership to approximately 200 of its most active volunteers — members of the Board of Directors, Committee Chairs, Vice-Chairs and Subcommittee Chairs. Peter delivered a top-notch presentation and worked inter-actively with the audience to bring out their ideas and concerns. I have known and respected Peter for years and was particularly interested in the feedback I would receive from the audience. All who spoke with me confirmed my own opinion that the presentation and workshop were extremely valuable and gave the audience insights and tools that they could use not only in their work for us but as leaders in their companies and law firms and in other volunteer activities.”
