In this dynamic and transformative talk, Pete Cohen challenges his audience to take a fresh look at adversity—at the “s*it” moments of life—and learn to turn them into “HITs,” or Harnessed Intentional Thinking. With humour, authenticity, and practical strategies, Pete unpacks how stress, setbacks, and struggles often trap us in reactive cycles, making us feel like we’re just surviving instead of thriving. But there’s a way to repurpose this “s*it” into fuel for growth, creativity, and fulfilment by harnessing intentional thinking.
Drawing on examples from his personal journey, stories from his clients, and lessons from great innovators, Pete shows that intentional thinking is a powerful tool for shifting our lives from unintentional “sh*t” to purpose-driven “HIT.” He likens this shift to the energy transformation from burning coal to renewable resources—requiring awareness and effort but providing a powerful, lasting impact.
In this engaging keynote presentation, audiences will discover the transformative power of intentional thinking in talent management and organisational success. The presentation will explore how intentionality is not merely a buzzword but a fundamental principle that drives both individual and collective achievement within organisations.
This powerful keynote is a presentation designed to equip individuals and organisations with the mindset and tools necessary for continuous achievement and adaptability in today’s fast-paced world. By focusing on the power of talent, intentionality, and achievement, Pete Cohen guides audiences to recognize that the right mindset is the foundation…

Empowering People and Organisations to Thrive Through Challenge and Change
We all exist in the world, but existence alone isn’t enough. To truly live, grow, and thrive, we need intentional thinking—a powerful force that shapes every decision, action, and outcome in our lives.
But here’s the truth: intentional thinking has two sides. One side keeps us stuck, locked in old patterns, driven by stress and fear. The other side unlocks our potential, fuels creativity, and connects us to who we are capable of becoming—our Future Self.
So, how do we recognise these two sides? What causes us to stay stuck in one, and how can we unlock the other?

What clients say about Pete Cohen
“We used Pete Cohen at a Barclays Agile Fest held at the Principality Stadium, Cardiff. It was an event that was attended by over 170 people from all business areas of Barclays, along with a wide and varied representation from the agile community, from across the UK and a number of different industries. Pete’s brief as the first keynote speaker on the day’s agenda was to enthuse the audience, and to get them thinking about what they wanted to achieve from the event. He certainly did this and he was very well received. Feedback from the attendees was fantastic! Pete comfortably delivered the brief and was a real asset to the event. Can’t wait to work with him again in the future.”
