Peter Laughter Public Speaking
In times of great upheaval, most leaders cling tighter to control, and in doing so they choke off the possibility they need most. My keynotes allow leaders to let go so their teams can tap into the abundance that is only possible during times of disruption. It is an understandable reflex. Command and control was designed for a stable world, and for a long time it worked. It does not work now. Gallup has measured employee disengagement near 78% for a quarter century, and the number has barely moved. The people closest to the problem are the ones least often asked. I believe collaboration is the technology we are missing. Most of the solutions we need already exist inside our organizations. What we lack is the practice of working on them together. My keynote, “The Pyramid Has Collapsed,” is built for leaders in industries facing disruption who are looking for a way through it. I spent 25 years as an entrepreneur, including building a recruiting firm that reached the Inc. 500. I am a TEDx speaker, a three-time Moth StorySLAM winner, and the founder of the New York chapter of Conscious Capitalism.

Tiny Trips Pediatric Dentistry
Our team is dedicated to providing gentle, compassionate care using the latest minimally invasive technology to keep your child’s teeth healthy and strong. We believe in prevention over intervention — by focusing on early education and healthy habits, we can help children understand the importance of caring for their teeth and gums while mitigating problems before they start. From a child’s very first visit, our goal is to create a fun, positive experience that helps them feel safe, confident, and excited about visiting the dentist. We take the time to explain every step in kid-friendly terms and use proven behavior guidance techniques to help children relax and cooperate comfortably during treatment. Our patient, nurturing approach allows us to reduce stress, build trust, and often prevent the need for more complex procedures or operating room visits later on. At Tiny Trips Pediatric Dentistry, we see every child as a partner in their own care. By empowering kids and families through education and gentle prevention, we help set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Whether it’s your child’s first checkup, a preventive cleaning, or simply learning the best brushing habits, we’re here to make every visit positive, educational, and full of smiles.
