Hi, my name is Peter Malcolm. This site showcases a selection of the projects that I have helped create and am involved with.  These projects are about  teams of people, that I have been privileged to work with.  It has been my pleasure to work with  shop floor workers through to Corporate Executives, from teenagers through to Indigenous people from around the world - true visionaries.  At times we visit some of the world's wildest places such as Antarctica, and together as a Team, we  strive to go beyond the struggle of everyday life, to achieve goals that make the world a better place.

I believe it's vitally important to create future possibilities based on sound values, such as our Bunjil Community Village project, because we now live in an often uncertain and rapidly changing world.

I am a passionate Speaker weaving Key Messages from 3 decades of experience into stories that touch people deeply and often change the way your people view their world.  I also collect stunning images and footage that enhance my Speaking experience and these stories.   My talks are offered to businesses, schools and governments around the globe, with a Web Conferencing option to reduce my carbon footprint.
