Our own Peter Sheahan has been awarded the CPAE - Council of Peers Award for Excellence. It's the speaking world's highest honour and is given out to just five speakers annually throughout the world.
An intensive peer-reviewed process, candidates must excel in several categories: material, style, experience, delivery, image, professionalism and communication.
It's an award so rare, that only two other Australians have ever been awarded the prestigious title: Alan Pease and Lisa McInnes-Smith.
It's also a lifetime award, given for speaking excellence and professionalism. If you hire a speaker who holds a CPAE, you know that you're in the very best of hands.
Peter Sheahan, already a Certified Speaking Professional, now joins the ranks of the ultra-elite speaking world, holding a title that only 191 men and women have earned in its 35 year history.
