Peter Nicholls - Australia’s People Gardener – Growing Better People. For vigorous personal growth, fertilize natural talents with passionate interests and mix with positive like-minded people. Over 30 years of working in parks and recreation taught Peter much about the many parallels between personal growth and plant growth. Through this experience Peter also developed rare insight into positive human behaviour and the life-expanding benefits of such behaviour for work satisfaction and personal growth.
Peter Nicholls is a Lifestyle Mentor with a twist. Peter focuses on the unique individuality of each person, no matter how many people are in the audience. “I thought he was speaking directly to me!” He sees any organization as a mosaic of unique individuals - a symphony orchestra blending diverse talents to create a harmonious outcome. The glue that bonds a resilient workplace culture.
Peter loves how passion unlocks potential, whether at work or in leisure, for personal growth and business development. When you lose yourself in an interest you love, you find yourself. The real you comes alive with energy, enthusiasm and an open mind. Self esteem, self belief and self confidence rise to spectacular heights. Wouldn't you like to be mixing with people like that at work and in your personal life?
You will look at life very differently after hearing Peter.

Get a Life! You work better and live longer. Workaholism is rife in the business world. To many it is a badge of honour, worn with pride. But take note that, of the people on the 9/11 hijacked planes who were able to make a last-ditch call from their mobile phone, none of them called the office!
The Corporate Health and Wellbeing Buck Starts at the Top
When it comes to corporate wellbeing the buck starts with the leader. When the leader gets it right, the organization is healthy. When the leader gets it wrong, the organization gets sick.
Is Retirement Dying? Is the concept of retirement dying out? Does retirement still mean stop work and start dying? Peter used to do what he had to do until he turned 62. Now he does what he wants to do.
Whose Writing Your Life Script? Imagine you are at a live theatre and it's interval. This is a special play - it's called "Your Life". Whose writing the script?
Turning Baby Boomers into Baby Bloomers
