"On, national television, Peter courageously and articulately shared the intimate details of his personal story. For a man who was told that he may never walk and talk again. Peter offered inspiration and hope to other viewers who may also be living with an acquired brain injury."

Peter, thanks again. You accomplished in a brief, casual, entertaining talk what no amount of "teaching" from me could. I was left with even more admiration for you as a person and professional than I had anticipated. Your personal story and enthusiasm for life inspire!

Peter Hicks came to our grade 11, Introduction to Anthropology and Sociology, to talk about his experiences as a Correctional Officer, particularly his experience working with young offenders.  Our class had just finished learning about the Criminal Justice System and the institutions set up to punish or rehabilitate our young offenders. 

Peter provided our class with anecdotal stories that engaged the students and made the institutions real for them.  He developed a good rapport with his audience, properly gauging their interest and attention span and providing humour to lighten the topic. 

All in all, Peter provided an interesting insight into the correctional facilities that students were not able to obtain from a textbook.   I will be inviting Peter to speak to future classes.

Although I had read Peter's book,
hearing him in person was inspiring to
say the least. Seldom in our lifetime do
we ever get an opportunity to meet a
true hero. For over half of his life,
Peter has managed his challenges with
mature balance and disarming humour. Not
only does he relate his experiences as
interesting anecdotes, Peter has
transformed them into meaningful
metaphors for life-lessons to benefit us
all. Drawing on his academic and life
skills, he now offers training in
positive attitude, conflict resolution,
and disability awareness.

Your Brilliance)

Wow, what a speaker! Peter openly shares his story of immense struggle to show that no matter how challenging life gets, we can still experience
humour, love and victory. What we experience is a matter of personal choice, regardless of circumstances. Be ready to laugh, be ready to cry, Peter is truly inspirational!
