Peter, Bluckert: - The founder of Courage and Spark(R), practice leaders in the vertical development field, Peter Bluckert has created and led four international organisation development consultancies. During a consultancy and coaching career spanning nearly forty years, working with executives and teams from a wide range of private and public-sector organisations, Peter has built a reputation as both a thought-leader and innovative designer of transformational learning experiences. His desire to see improved standards in the field of Executive Coaching led him to join forces with other coaching pioneers and co-found the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) in 2000 and he remains committed to this work. Best described as a Practitioner, rather than Academic, he believes that good theory strengthens good practice. Peter is regularly asked to speak at International Conferences and has delivered presentations and programmes in Europe, the US, Asia, The Pacific and Africa.
