"My organization hired Pete to discuss the challenges he faced in the various roles he has held. I wanted to see how I could improve as a leader with his help. He was able to describe navigating serious issues by practical means and he shared with us how he reached the decisions that he came to. I was able to take away from the talk, more tools to help solve problems that arise, problems that are either predicted or unexpected. I highly recommend his services to any organization."

"Pete Gaynor’s, Leadership During Crisis training is time well invested. The course addresses the challenges faced during a crisis and the difficult decisions needed to navigate what may be unchartered and unprecedented circumstances. Peter’s experience leading the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, a state, and a local emergency management agency as well as serving in the Marine Corps provides him the experience and understanding of the issues facing those called upon to lead through a crisis."

"Pete has the sort of easy grasp of crisis leadership which has been forged by experience. He has a laser like ability to dissect a problem and start to coalesce a solution and a team and once you have heard him speak it will change your thinking, approach and philosophy to crisis leadership and emergency planning. Some people you want on your team, I’d like Pete to be leading it but if I can’t have that I will settle for mentoring. He has genuinely impacted how I manage and lead."
